Are the players that came in actually Jones signings or a continuation of the cock ups made before. Some of them have previous with him, and from the way he has talked up all of them you'd think they were his choices.

In his post-match interview, Jones put all the blame on the players, saying that the intensity wasn’t there but there was an improvement after the substitutions (no mention of the change in formation) When questioned about the inclusion of Collins, Jones suggested that he had no alternative! Had he forgotten that Bruno was on the bench? Not suggesting that Bruno should have played instead, but weird for Jones to almost discount Martins-Indi altogether! Sorry, but I just can’t warm to Jones. It probably didn’t help that he stated that Bojan was a big part of his plans, then didn’t give him the chance to establish himself in the team and has now virtually forced Bojan out of the club. I feel that he has no qualms about throwing anyone under the bus to defend himself.

I don’t think he can even comprehend it might be his stupid diamond. As I said yesterday, his surprise that when the switches to a different system they were suited to they were better was utterly bizarre.

Our midfield is shit, completely wank.
Joe Allen and Clucas playing centrally in a diamond will never work in a fucking million years.
The midfield has been wank for years and I’m fucking sick of it.
I just want to see a stoke midfield that can dictate and control a game of football.
It hasn’t happened once since Joe Allen came to the club and it won’t happen until he leaves.

I like Joe Allen, and he always gives 100%, but I have to agree that since he arrived we don’t seem able to control the midfield. Whether this is because he tends to chase the ball around rather than hold his position I don’t know, but he has been an almost ever-present, so we really don’t know whether replacing him would improve things!
