We have much better odds if we only have to play them once. Think Bonecrusher Smith against Frank Bruno.(1 punch in the 10th)

He sounds like he has other things on his mind. His sentences trail off like hes just remembered something important." Did I leave the gas on?" He seems to say.

He’s finally got a dose of what he’s done to us then. Most players are probably well fucked off with the idiot and his ridiculous selections, formations and tactics by now too. Who the hell wants to waste their career going backwards and leathering the ball as far as they can forwards. Hardly the stuff of dreams of a young footballer.

Can't say I agree with that, but then you've had an anti-Cooper agenda for a while. When things don't go to plan on the field I tend to blame the players. Grimes slows everything down in midfield and he has 2 types of pass in his locker - one to the left wingback/fullback, and one to the right wingback/fullback. Hourihane is a waste of a shirt - if I had a penny for every hospital pass he's given ... Fulton's been our best midfielder by a country mile this season. Lowe traps the ball further than I can kick it - scores a goal very now and then, but basically doesn't play well with others. Ayew - well, he's undroppable because he's on £80K a week. Whitaker's not really ready for this level yet. Smith is OK, but often anonymous. Dhanda - another waste of a shirt. Routledge is way past it. Woodman, either lumps it long to nobody or straight into touch - and he's suspect at set pieces. Add to that a lack of movement, and a lack of desire to be brave on the ball and you get pretty sterile football. Basically, a lot of our players are just not good enough. But, yes, it's Cooper's fault.
