On a lighter note of whether Sahko is crap or not, insert caption here

Mata looks like he's ready to kill LVG!

"You apparently cost £37 million. How did you swing that?"

What do you want from the Golden Grill?

Hmmmm

I agree that the system is putting out defence under pressure. However the type of mistakes that Sakho is making are errors of judgement and being unable to execute basic enough skills.

But I will defer to some of the other posters when they say he is excellent for France. I haven't watched a game involving France since that infamous night. So hopefully when we see the system sorted we'll see the best of him.

Council has granted permission for phase 1 and 2 of expansion. So thats good news.

jasonb · 23-09-2014 12:46PM

Planning permission approved:

Finally, finally, this will hopefully be the start of the stadium expansion, after all the false starts...

Mata to Valencia - "Doesn't his head look like roast potato?"

Van Gaal - "Do you want a box in the face?"

Giggs - "I think I need a souvenir from this game, will I grab that corner flag?"

Good news.

I hope the area benefits from this. The clubs record on this hasn't been what you'd call whiter than white.

Even from a selfish point of view, it reflects badly on the club for away fans to have to walk through such a run-down area.

billymitchell · 23-09-2014 01:00PM

I really think The Ridgers needs to tell the two full backs to cool their jets on getting forward so much, and for the midfield to drop back a bit too, offer some defensive cover. Watching the game at the weekend, we seemed to be playing a 1-3-0-7 formation with the ball, leaving us ridiculously exposed at the back, and nobody in midfield to pick up the ball from the cb's or gerard.

We were much more solid on Saturday when Sakho came on imo. He should be starting every game from now on.

Agreed, we seem to be playing a counter attack formation even when we have had possession of the ball for the last 5 minutes

DVDM93 · 23-09-2014 01:17PM

I would have loved to have a camera on that cats head the night we played Spurs at Anfield. How the fcuk did it manage to find its way in to the stadium?

Change in formation rather than anything he did, if we are struggling so badly from set pieces it is probably no harm to have 3 cbs on to help.

I'd definetly bench Mig. Not sure what the use in ending him out to face Boro is. If I were them I'd be raining crosses in from every angle, almost playing for corners. Not sure what he can get out of this. He needs a rest, Gerrard needs a night off to. Badly.

I think the difference is the proximity of players around him. When he has cover on both sides, and in front, he can charge into tackles and be sure that someone has his back. When our FBs push up so high, and he's 20+ yards from his fellow CB when we are in possession, he's very exposed. That doesn't suit his game.

rob316 · 23-09-2014 01:37PM

Strongest team tonight please, we really need games under our belt for the new players to gel, a few convincing wins against lesser opposition and we could get a bit of momentum going,

Migs doesnt need a rest, he needs a kick up the arse and told to play better.

They should gel in training!! No excuse to need 90 minutes in a cup game like this. I'd rather we used it to give minutes to Enrique, Lallana, Markovic & Lambert, and give the experience of a start to Rossiter, Lloyd Jones and 1/2 others. That is how we brough Sterling, Ibe and Wisdom on - first team starts.

rob316 · 23-09-2014 01:45PM

I presume the Albert will be unaffected by the main stand redevelopment?

Edit: Nevermind, found it on the Q&A

• Will the Albert Pub be retained?

The Main Stand expansion works with the Albert Pub remaining in situ and this is reflected in our plans.

With so many players injured or in need of a rest, and with the LC being utterly worthless, we really shouldn't.

We'll have plenty of games to get the team right but our most important concern is the derby on Saturday.

The Leaving Cert isn't completely worthless, while it isn't the be all and end all it most certainly isn't worthless. I shouldn't need to go in to detail.

League Cup isn't pointless btw, I'd love us to win something this season. The best teams do well in all competitions and this is what we are aspiring to. A win tonight is just what we need. We also have some returning first teamers that clearly need competitive minutes.

gafferino · 23-09-2014 02:13PM

Agreed. Its the least important of the 4 but I want us to win all our matches and would be delighted to win the LC.

Neither am I to be honest, I regretted posting it immediately like a lot of my other posts. However I've decided to play the role of the fool and ease the tension in here a little bit, we're in a bit of a crisis at the moment and we all need a break from that, at my expense.

gafferino · 23-09-2014 02:14PM

Random match facts.

Goalkeeper Brad Jones made 76 appearances for Middlesbrough in seven seasons at the Riverside, including three in the League Cup.

I just think a good 4/5 nil win (don't worry I wouldn't hold my breath) would do wonders for confidence, as we will look very flat at the moment.
