With his experience in major European leagues and at international level one might have expected him to have hit the ground running, notwithstanding his ludicrous salary. It's the same for any job where ones experience should hold one in good stead. I would have thought that he should have...

This is it really. I've written before that I don't comprehend what Kamada brings to the party. he's shown very little and has had more than a few minutes to show us what he's made of. Other players I can see why they are there and what job they are supposed to do - it's all pretty straight...

From OG's post match interview: "We didn't defend on our top level" "They find the pockets, they find the space" Yes this is so, but it is OG's game plan and team selection that enables it. A non combative midfield cedes the run of play entirely to the opposition, I have said this time and again...

Second half they didn't compete at all. I can only imagine that they are preparing, subconsciously or otherwise, for the semi final. I also suspect that OG is formulating his side for that very game. Note that we are 12th, Roy and PV achieved the same, so the Cup is the big one. I'd be amazed...

A reporter needs to ask Glasner what he thinks Kamada brings to the team. Although I have enjoyed OG's interviews for their frankness and honest appraisal, I'd be curious to hear what he has to say.

KdB is in a different class, Wharton and Kamada don't come close. Glasner's tactical set-up always leaves us a bit short in midfield. If the ball can find the wide men quickly then it tends to work, but if the opposition have the quality of someone like KdB then the holes become apparent. Not...

Glasner out!!!

I came to the match late, checked the score 0-1, excellent! Went to make a bite to eat, came back 2-2 wow! Then I read the comments from the beginning - nothing but a shameful whingefest, embarrassing. Anyone fancy themselves as manager, send your CV to Steve Parish.

Re Kamada it's worth noting that his much vaunted Japanese team mate Mitoma was out there for them, and Kamada won that competition imho.

Franca's first goal, good for him!

The finish was very fine indeed, although I'd say Eze tries this too often and most times without the success of yesterday. I was impressed by him not soon after passing an accurate left footed ball for Sarr to nod home - that was quite simple, precise, and classy.

Super Eddie! Supplied by Kamada, oh ye of little faith!

Franca on latter stages of second half, lovely sunny day on the Costa del Thames, scoring a fine goal to the tune of Copacabana from the crowd - ahh yes that would be just dandy!

It was a fine day yesterday and so I took a long walk along the beach. In the distance I could see a man walking a dog. He seemed to be in animated conversation and as he didn't appear to be holding a mobile device I speculated that he was either talking to himself, the dog, or the gods. Every...

He was working for free and out of the goodness of his own heart.

Plenty of speculation, no real facts. If DF can tap up Edouard, and land us a profit that would be a good start to his faraway career!

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

The thing with this is that Sarr is a starter and Nketiah is an understudy to Mateta. The club should have thought of this when it overpaid for Nketiah's services. Unless Nketiah is pencilled in to become the main man when Mateta is sold to Man United for £100m...

Football is a results business, and at this level a cut throat one also - fact is he had the start he was probably craving and totally fluffed his lines with a poor effort straight at the keeper; he could have dropped his shoulder and gone round the keeper or dinked it over him but in the end...

I'd like to think Steve Parish is modest enough not to have the stand named after himself.
