The starting line up.

It's ok giving someone 6 games to prove themselves at 3rd tier, at Premier League level you have to hit the ground running. The standards are so high you can't afford to carry anyone.

I watched United beat Liverpool today, Carrick has given loads of United players another go and it's working wonders.

Parker could not manage a burger van at this level.

I think Foster still has not had enough time to adjust to his new surroundings and culture....

I'd love to have a pint or two with you CiB.

I suppose you actually played football ballcock? If you did you will know it takes at least a proper run of six consecutive games to see if you can settle into a side and make a difference. He never got that chance.

Parker persisted with Laurent but Tresor, Tchaouna and Edwards never really got a look in.

The centre back pairings Parker tried never really worked, we had no presence in the centre of midfield despite having Ugochukwa and Florentino to pick from, no bloody wonder we have gone down.

In retrospect Parker should not be allowed anywhere near an EPL team, he's totally out of his depth.

I'm certain a Chairman of a Championship club seeking promotion will give him a job. Bristol City perhaps?

Parker I believe and it?s from memory dropped Loum the week after he scored his worldy imagine what that did for his confidence - I?ve said many times that can?t be easy playing in a negative setup if your a forward style player.

Similar happens with Maxwell cornet under Dyche played with no baggage and went at people 6 weeks later he was a defensive cog

What I?m trying to say is how can you express yourself when most passes are inside and backwards - for me it?s hard to judge a player in a set up like they ve played.

I have mentioned my mate "Pete from Leeds" before. He cannot believe Tchaouna can't get a game in our team.

Just reminds me, I've got something more on the 'can't get a game' theme, I'll try and find time tonight to put it up.

I was enjoying lunch in Honfleur a couple of Sundays ago when the peace was disturbed by a couple of thousand black clad Auxerre fans and one great big drum, congregating on the harbourside. They were there for their game later that afternoon at Le Havre and there was a big police presence looking concerned but there wasn't any trouble that I could see. I was having a chat with a group of them and asked about Han-Noah Massengo, good player seemed to be the concensus, but he's playing in Germany now, one of them said.

This was news to me so I looked it up and he's playing for Augsburg, currently 9th in the Bundesliga, and besides being a regular starter(29 starts this season)for them, he scored their winning goal in Munich against Bayern in January, that must have put Vinnies nose ever so slightly out of joint.

In his two loan spells in France Ligue One at Auxerre he was a regular starter, in one of his last games for them before signing for us, he was playing against PSV including Sergio Ramos, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe. He'd also made over 100 appearances for Bristol City in England, but for us he started just one League game in two seasons.

I can't work it out, he's proved to be a top level player in France and Germany, he's an experienced Championship player in England, but at Burnley, a club supposed to survive on improving young players and selling them on, we could do nothing with him and wrote him off, literally chucked him on the scrapheap. Just WTF goes on down Gawthorpe, what could the coaches at Bristol City, Auxerre and Augsburg see in him that ours couldn't ? Beats me.

The simple truth mon ami is that ALK buy too many players and they cannot play them all. When I get a bit of time I will tell you how they are all going on and they are all getting regular game time.
