9/11 were crap talk about understatement of the century

You think it was more? Or did you mean overstatement?

Even if you don't think Cash should be replaced, he still doesn't have any direct competition since Young was released. Konsa or Chambers "doing a job" there doesn't cut it for me.

I'd say 3,000 people dying was definitely more than crap

There’s a difference between blaming players for a loss and saying they should be replaced. Rissos comment is tongue in cheek and I’ve not seen anyone say players should be replaced on the strength of just that performance. For instance I think 9/11 were crap but the only one I generally wouldn’t start very often (as things stand) would be Bailey, but I thought that before the game.

I know Risso's comment was tongue in cheek, but that doesn't mean I can't reply to it with a serious comment. I'm not going to trawl through a week of posts in multiple threads to back up my point, but I have seen people using Saturday's game as "proof" that Watkins isn't good enough, that Cash is rubbish, that we should sell Kamara to Liverpool if they want him, that Bailey shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11, that Konsa only functions with Mings pulling his strings, and other such things.

People are entitled to their opinions, and maybe even some of them are 100% right in them, but the point stands, people have very definitive opinions about certain players and they will use what was an entire team capitulation for 30 minutes to lump blame on whichever player they already want out of the team.
Yes people are entitled to their opinions.

9/11 should be sold? 9/11 should be shot?

It's called having a discussion. Something it seems a lot of people are incapable of doing.

Very. Can we get back on topic about gently discussing who we might buy/ not buy, and let it meander away please. The whole 9/11 stuff seems wildly out of context for what was a post about how many were rubbish last week.

Absolutely. Boyzone, Blue and Backstreet Boys can fuck off, too.
