How can the board watch this (assuming they even do is daft) and think this is good?. This kind of utter disinterest from the players even must surely make them nervous about their precious top four spot.

Like I say if he was going to stay regardless the deal would already be signed, yes he's playing for time but I think the fan negativity is getting to him it just has to be maintained

He got out of his seat, and was probably as animated as we see him so yes, he forgot it was just some pub team with amateurs of course.

We made really hard work of the pub team btw, most thought this would be a bit of a goalfest, not so.

What if we finish 4th in the league? Still want to be stubborn about it?

We really should be taking a non league team to the cleaners. Can't blame the pitch, we just look really flat at the moment.

For what its worth my player ratings;

Ospina 4 - terrible
Gabriel 5 - not a full back, not sure why he keeps being played there
Mustafi 6 - ok but looked uncomfortable
Holding 7 - pick of the defenders
Monreal 5 - looked asleep for most of it
Elneny 5 - struggled before going off at HT
Xhaka 6 - solid but nothing special
The Jeff 4 - really poor, needs to get the basics right
Iwobi 6 - bad in the 1st half but improved as game went on
Walnut 5 - scored but everything else he did was utter crap
Perez 7 - our best player on the night
Ox 6 - brought some energy but kept hoofing it off the pitch

I honestly dont think Iwobi should be starting for us. He is like Denilson on the wing, gets the ball, cuts inside and passes it to Montreal or one of the CMs. Even last night against an old and chubby RB, he didnt try take him on or even shoot, he gave the ball away and didnt do anything with it when he had it.

Peres and Welbz should be ahead of him. The issue i think started was when we offered him 2 contracts in the space of a few months (he signed two new deals in the same season if i remember correctly). Where is the incentive for him? does he get told to work on his crossing/shooting/dribbling? is he under pressure for his spot? NO. As a big club, our left wingers/wide men have always contributed with either goals, assists or at the very least moments of real magic that turn games. Iwobi is a neat and tidy midfielder but he should not be starting for us, simples.
