“I am not a five-year-old kid any more and if I don’t get what I want I start crying. Most of the time in my life I didn’t get what I want, to be honest, so we are all pretty much used to that. I am responsible for a big part of this football club but there are people who are responsible for the whole thing and I cannot make their decision. I know they are with us and I know they want to support us and they do.   What we have to do is improve the football in the decisive areas with this squad. That’s my job, and not sitting here and being disappointed or frustrated with some decisions. I am not. Of course, we know what we would do in an ideal world but the world is not ideal and not only for us. So we have to deal with the situation.   Now we talk about a centre-half. Yes, it would help: 100%. Would we score more goals with a centre half? I am not sure. Would it give us a little bit more stability in specific moments? Yes, probably.”  

There you go mate.   Hehe only kidding, look at the next post.

Any chance of a quote? 

It's great that they laugh about pointless things to us while we can laugh at their lack of trophies, shitty ground and endless drawings of stadiums that they lap up every time the Echo publish them.

The stick Thiago is getting is ridiculous. I wrote in the match thread yesterday at half time, no matter how low they defend, we should try to play it in behind them and make them work face to their own goal. Have a look at the chance Milner blasted over the bar, how it happened and who played the pass in behind. He does this all the time, and it’s all been wasted so far more or less by his team mates.   He’s not been perfect, and he still needs time to get used to his new surroundings. And them to get used to him. But a world class midfielder that can play all positions in midfield, and play them well, is around page 24 in our list of problems.
