Joao Carvalho

well if its a choice between the 2 then it has to be goodbye MON. Carvalho is not superman but he has shown enough that he can score and more importantly as others point out create chances with one pass. noone else apart from lolly can do that. bear in mind i expect there to be massive interest in lolly from lots in the summer not least villa then potentially we are getting rid of our 2 players that can create things, crazy.

MON should defo be able to build a team that suits carvalho. he isnt going to be winning 50/50's but from what i remember certainly early season he certainly put the effort in to close people down etc. he wouldnt have played in a karanka team if he didnt. if you have 2 dm's behind him then thats fine.

for me mon has 4 games left to prove he can put something worth while on the pitch. otherwise for me the owners should admit its a mistake and move on. so its not simply a question of player against manager. it is about the clubs identity and how it wants to set itself up. this summer we went down the route of bringing in technical footballers. maybe not entirely successfully but i am happy with that route. no need to change players to different managers. managers should be bought in that can work with the players we have a perhaps add a few here and there.

i am not buying all this about the players not being good enough. they have been up there all year and from what i have seen they are no better or worse than most in the playoffs and around us. mon should have been able to get more out of them.
