1) Disagree Roy will happily play other players for many game without rests he doesn't really like Townsend you can see this he is very quick to pull him off and drop him.

2) Injuries do not help but we have options and he refuses to use them how many CB do we have many yet he still keeps playing Kouyate when many of them are available.

3) Not really fair to select Spurs and Liverpool these are top teams also we showed in past we can attack but Roy has crippled this team we don't even do direct counter attacks he is stuck in his ways and drilled into the players keep the ball no matter what.

The squad we have now is the best one we have ever had take a look back and see with far less quality we was playing better football and even using players strengths also every game it's Roys favorites (At this stage he could mix it up but still no same old which is not because of the players that is an excuse)

We don't know what injuries/knocks players are carrying, how players recover after games or the game plans Hodgson starts with. Whist we all have our idea of the best team on paper, that team isn't normally complete and able to play at it's best on the day.

Kouyate has been our best central defender this season (bar half a dozen man of the match displays from Cahill) and plays centre half for his country.

Our possession stats have been poor so no way are the team 'drilled to keep the ball no matter what'. That, or this skill level you refer to isn't actually there.

This is not the best squad we have had. Quality only goes so far. The age of many of our previously pivotal players is against them. We are slower and have far less energy than squads in earlier seasons. We have been found out far more often this year due to the above.

A load of waffle

Kouyate has not been best defender at all do you even watch the games I don't think you do and he is not a CB doesn't matter if he has featured their for his country or pub team we have proper players that play that role and they dont even get given a chance.

Stats are useless and again shows you are clearly not even watching the games we play to try and keep the ball this is why we constantly keep sending the ball backwards to try keep possession we don't do it well means nothing this is how Roy wants us to play.

Yes it is the best squad show a season with none of those names which is a better squad you cant it has nothing to do with people not at peak etc.

You really have no idea this is how Roy has set them up to keep the ball even if that means its at the back and the slow pace again is down to him yes those players you could say are not the quickest but we had more creative quick players he had no interest in playing them or drops them into the same system.

Energy levels are set by managers you train for the style of play if a player cant cut it you dont play them and replace them so more lack of knowledge (Pep did this at City so did Klopp at Liverpool)

He definitely has. No one else has played enough to even come close.

Agreed, although I have been surprised/disappointed that Kelly hasn’t had a look in. After Tuesday I can see no reason to offer Dann another contract

There definitely seems to have been a falling out between Kelly and Roy of some sorts because he can be no worse than Dann. Dann is 100% done at his level, the last few times he has played he has struggled massively for pace and is always a couple yards off the speed of the game.
