It's hard to resist standing up for yourself when idiots start having a pop but someone in his position should know better really. Nothing good will come from bickering with fans.

Last Sunday while driving, noticed pedestrian walking the opposite direction with hand down front of his pants like your average 14 year old 'lad'. As I got a bit closer and saw it was our chief cultural architect Mr Laurent 🤣 What do you mean by "chief cultural architec" It's a Ricky Martin thing.

When do we learn that creating a never ending succession of scapegoats achieves absolutely nothing. If only our problems were as simple as one player deemed to be underperforming.

No wonder most of players start off well then end up looking like they’re going through the motions. Social media is a toxic place …

Absolute idiots slagging our own players on social media, and tagging them in the hope of a response. Wet wipes If i was a pro footballer the last place I would be is on any social media where there could be direct contact. You just don't need that negative bullshit in your life. Join when you're retired if you really feel the need.

He after the manager needs to be the front of house representation. He's not, and I'm sure he will soon become another ear cupper whilst we sit between 17th and 21st in the league 🤦♂️🤷♂️

Laurent and AN are paid vast amounts of money to perform to an acceptable standard and massively underperform, so yes they should stand up and be accountable. AN regularly throws his players under the bus although not coming out with their names directly he makes comment to on field mistakes whereby it can only be one person ie Junho not holding up play on a free kick, There’s absolutely nothing in JL game to warrant him as captain let alone a starting place, honestly I’d have Jordan Thompson over him week after week.

I’m absolutely fine with fans thinking that he shouldn’t currently be in the side based on form and that but when people start talking about players not wanting to play for us etc then they’re just talking bollocks about things they just don't know. Not saying it’s the same for Laurent because I really don’t know, but Dele Alli has been a perfect example of how things not related to football can effect performances on the pitch and we just don’t really know what’s going on in players heads sometimes.

His heads gone if he’s rising to the bait of fans online.
He needs taking out of the squad and the spotlight immediately.

I think as manager he should name players based on their personality. Some players will take offence and they'll play worse whilst others use it as motivation. I listened to the Tony Pulis podcast with Parkin on Under The Cosh and he told a story of Darren Fletcher at WBA and he publicly criticised him and threatened to drop him and he was MOTM the week after. Having said that there is few of our players who'd do the latter and sulk.

Does anybody know why AN keeps picking Laurent? It's like playing with 10 when he is on the pitch, he offers absolutely nothing. Does AN see something in him no one else does?

I don’t agree with it as it helps no one and just isn’t very nice but as a player he’s putting himself on offer and would be happy to take the adulation when he plays a blinder (whenever that may be).
