  1. I don’t think he was ever a great choice as Captain.  Yes, he has contributed to the team hugely at times, but personally I don’t see him as a natural leader or someone who is either a great motivator or has that harsh edge in his personality to drive others on when the going gets tough.  If he stays as Captain, then expect more of the same.  I think that a change is overdue.

    Fully deserved imo .

    I've been a big critic of him these last couple of seasons but I'm not sure you can blame him for the lack of movement in the transfer front to replace him . 

    Neither should that detract from some of the performances through the seasons where I'd rate him alongside The Goalie as our best ever keeper .

    Agreed.  As some said previously, it is probably a year too late.  But he has certainly contributed over the years and is deserving of this.

    The players can't win ffs.

    Good performance and easy win today and it will be the above.

    Poor performance and it will be 'they've downed tools/have no bottle'.

    They have to do it when it matters to have any credibility.

    They haven’t, and they don’t.

    Why are you saying they're not blameless. Then in your next sentence relieve them of blame? 

    Mate, let’s cut to the chase MB made an epic mistake by selecting some of those players.  Those same players then failed miserably to perform, which is their part in the whole sorry situation.  Then compounded by MB who lacks the bollocks to hook them at half time.  Did players fail - yes.  But MB is culpable because he failed in initial selection then again in making changes, resulting in going 2 down.

    These players have let us down time after time after time, of course they need to take a portion of the blame.

    Exactly.  MB was here with Gerrard - he knows those players, but chose to keep pushing them out there, whilst leaving 2 arguably better suited signings on the bench.  Madness.  Pretty much everyone said so in the match thread before the game.

    Hindsight 

    him picking Kamara is not his fault for Kamara jogging (nearly walking) when Mooy picked the ball up. 

    Players are not blameless you know. 

    No they are not.  But the players were put on the pitch by MB.  Point in case, Kamara was the wrong choice.  All roads lead to MB’s choices.

    I think this is a bit hyperbolic to suggest he's Warburton MKll. 

    It was a shite result, shite decisions made by the Beale and subsequently followed up by a shite press conference.

    But Beale isn't the main problem just now, it is clearly the executive Board and the majority of the players.

    I’m not disagreeing with you.  But let’s be clear.  We lost that game because of MB’s team selection and set up -  nothing more.  It’s all on him.
