Rochdale could be about to immediately consign our defeat last night to the history books!

so i heard from an agent that Ole has lost the dressing room....

If serious, it doesn't surprise or seem significant, in some ways.

He's binned off nearly all the LVG and Mourinho signings and is bringing through youth. I can't see the young lads kicking up the fuss.

He hasn't been bringing through youth though. Matic, Mata and Young have still been playing.

There's a difference between bringing through youth and 'dropping every player over 28'
Yeah, but what he said during and before the summer was "these youngsters are great and they are ready". Then he stuck to the older players game after game, while still performing like utter turds. Complete difference between what he says and what he does.

I'm not happy with how we went out, but I'm glad we don't have to faff about with yet another competition at this stage.

Playing loads of games is not really what we need at the moment, although we should be aiming to win these things

Strange attitude, we have the squad to cope for all competitions and besides it's only 5 more matches over a 5 month span.

I don't think we do - we have a lot of injuries.

Liverpool and Chelsea both benefitted in the league from playing less cup games a season or so ago, so I just feel like it might be useful to be fresher

We currently have 2 players injured, that's less than any of our top 6 rivals

And if Liverpool benefited in the league from playing less cup games than what's Man City's or Chelsea's excuse last season?

We're not some pauper team anymore, we have the players, we have the investment - so being happy at binning this comp off just so that we play less matches in a season just smacks of a loser mentality.
