Savage talks sense!

Can't see this anywhere else.  Difficult to disagree with a word of it.

Yep - just read it and can't disagree with any of it.

Someone else must have written it  :D

And I bet he's loving it. Have to admit he's right though.

Going forward we are definitely embarrassing. At least it's being picked up on now.

The only thing I disagree with there is the bit where he says Lambert is honest. I've never heard Lambert hold his hands up and say, 'it was my fault, we were awful.'

Savage is an aggregator none of his thoughts are his own. In real life I imagine him to be quite thoughtful and considered. In his media job he takes what a lot of other people are saying and spits it out in a bloke down the pub, talking common sense like, manner. What has been obvious to us for some time is now recognised nationally and Savage in his own unique style is parroting it back.

If I can pick holes in it, then I disagree with him that Sanchez hasn't made a difference.  He has in terms of us being more solid and robust at the back, but he's not a creative player.  I disagree to a point over Cleverley too - he said he thought he'd make a difference, but the majority of us knew otherwise.

Also disagree that we need Vlaar to be fit. Maybe in the last coupld of seasons, but I think we've coped well this season when he's been out.

Other than that, a lot of what he says is right.

I'd like to see the original crayon written article before I believe he's penned it.

Pretty much what nearly all of us are saying on here. That said, even if we lose on Sunday, I don't expect Lambert to get sacked. Diabolical way to run a football club.

You know something's wrong when Robbie Savage is the voice of reason. Even he can see it, Randolph. What's wrong with you?

Maybe we should approach him to be our assistant before anybody else spots his obvious potential.

yes but significantly not in the media; once print and broadcast outlets start to prod and probe a bit more things will get more uncomfortable for Mr No Pressure

"Carles Gil has been brought in to give them more guile, and he looked lively for half an hour on his debut against Liverpool on Saturday.

But he only managed two assists in 33 games for Elche in La Liga last season"

Shit I don't like the sound of that.
