We constantly hear that line from El Pel and he gets very annoyed and frustrated when our players perform as they do against wimbledon/bournemouth/wolves and so on so what can he do too change those players who simply refuse to not believe in his idea and do not believe a club like ours can or ever will be able to perform like a big club which in El Pels mind is to go out regardless of the opposition and go to win not snatch a draw or roll over and let the other team win.
The reason Teams like citeh etc win is because there managers refuse to accept and think of any other result and yes of course they have top top players but have you noticed that any who are not producing are simply out of the side no matter who they are and such ruthlessness has worked on the likes of Aguerro/sane//sterling all household names and walk into any side but they had a rude awakening and if you don't produce on the pitch you are out and that drove those players on now to be better than they ever were.
If players perform and get beat this you accept as the other team on the day were better than you but players going out already beaten before a balls been kicked is totally unacceptable and try as he might with some of our current squad we simply do not produce enough decent displays specially away from home so where will he start the culling in the long summer ahead? and where does he find the players he wants with the mindset he wants to produce a much more consistent side? injuries of which we have had and get too many El Pel has a big summer ahead reshaping and revamping certain parts of the squad if he expects next season too be any different to this one after all it is WEST HAM.

The weird part about the Daily Express’ claim that Tottenham want to sign Declan Rice is that they suggest he will be a replacement for the outgoing Christian Eriksen.

They tell us ‘Spurs are preparing for the possible exit’ of the Dane, and that ‘Rice has been on Tottenham’s radar for some time’. Yeah, but not as a creative midfielder.

Anyway, West Ham apparently ‘face a battle’ to keep Rice despite him signing a five-and-a-half-year contract at the club two months ago. Liverpool want him and Manchester United have previously been linked, but it is Spurs who are ready to firm up their interest with a £35m offer.

As an aside, that bid is mentioned only in the headline, not in the actual story body. Seems legit.

Heard an interesting thought about this whilst in the shower listening to Talksh**e this morning and it is all about the revenues that can be made from new tv deals etc and when asked what his thoughts were Simon Jordan i think made a number of peoples jaws drop when he said that the Premier League should become like the Netflix site and have there own channel and have subscribers pay £8/10 a month too watch the Premier league now he estimated with its worldwide popularity compared to other leagues around the world you could be looking at potentially making and eye watering £10billion a year A YEAR not like now £8.25 billion over3/4 years and i just wondered yeah that sounds great but what will happen to the rest of football in this country because the prem certainly would not want to be sharing that kind of income with lower league football and sky/bt/amazon? etc would not fork out anywhere near the kind of money they do now too show lower league football and it could ruin the game here for everyone.
Simon Jordan voiced this and i am pretty sure people are even now crunching the numbers or have been for a while to see how viable this would be and if the projection is anywhere near what he Predicts we could see the game transform once more in front of our eyes.

So the players got some measure of respect back after actually turning up for a match for the first time in a couple of bad weeks the question is will they do it at Palace on saturday? the worry is they dont and palace without i believe Zaha for the game(overrated imo)will be looking at our last 3 away matches 2 goals scored 9 conceded and must be thinking 3 points there for the taking and unless we start from the first whistle that will probably happen! not going to mention injuries and who or who may or may not play but the one thing that those players who do start saturday at 3pm(bygone era makes me weep and nostalgic)have to understand that the liverpool games in the past and as much energy and intensity must be shown for this match as any other...got many a friend who are Palace fans and they think we are easy prey right now and any kind of effort by Palace will be enough to see us off....Palace Palace who the Fu*k are Palace is my retort i do hope come 5pm saturday that West ham prove me right COYI

Liked what i saw from the player on monday night his pace is something we definitely need and yes he made some mistakes but overall i have to say Zabs is going to have a fight on his hands now for the regular right back starting spot and that is a good thing indeed.

Well surprise bloody surprise its being reported he will not play for us again this season due to a persistent ankle injury now call me a cynic but i find it hard to believe that he played last season injury free at Bournemouth but as soon as the old C&B shirt gets on your back bam his old injury comes back.
Now its not my money but i would like the club to let him go in the summer along with carroll thank god his contracts up sanchez who suffered a nasty injury but to me was a strange signing indeed masuaku who i would gladly sell on ebay if the club do not have the time snodgrass only because of his age as he has put in the effort and not bitched Adrian again out of contract i believe Ogbonna/Obiang my gosh they are so poor perez/chicarito because whats the point.
thankfully there is no football this summer but the club need an entire rethink on transfers and must realise no matter how good a deal it seems at the time a player with an injury record is a player you can do without.Eddie Howe puts many managers to shame with his ability to find nurture and develop talent whilst not breaking the bank and giving silly wages too under performing overrated over the hill last chance saloon players,if he can do it then surely we can to.

What's the latest on his injury ? Not that I'm too pushed any more just can't see who's goin to pop the ball in Onion net now

Was really hoping we would add a full back this window and let Masuaku go!

More words from El Pel after the wolves debacle.....oh how he clearly does not understand this club...things can and usually do get a lot worse and very quickly at that....Fabs now injured nasri has suffered the dreaded knock the sulks ink not dry on his new contract and ooops he is injured too....as someone recently said this club used to be a circus run by clowns it seems they have come back!
Players cannot be bothered why should we as fans be bothered? how big a shock would it be if they run out against the scousers or whoever and find only the away fans have turned up....these sulky self centered multi millionaires who think they have it so hard really need too do an honest months(not a day but they prob not last that) work up at the crack of dawn in the freezing cold scraping the frost of the car window hoping the bugger starts grafting for 12/15 hours freezing your nuts off get home in the dark have a shower a cuppa tea if your lucky a hot meal then maybe an hours chill time with that special person in your life before bed and starting the whole thing over again 6/7 days a week with no winter break no warm weather training nobody to pander too your every whim. because shopping or paying bills is to difficult a task for the poor little footballers they get others too do it as they have other important stuff too do mmm have not figured that out yet and doubt i ever will!...best stop there spleen has been vented
