This lot needs a coach in charge of them that will be hard on them and make them work. All of our coaches are too nice.

Thing is we are out of options. Flick comes to mind but he is a nutcase and I feel things would fall apart quite quickly, if they ever even become good.

I'm not saying you're wrong but there are plenty of instances where centre backs have played as full back.

Gallas and Ivanovic are two great examples for us of centre backs who were superb at full back.

Early days for Colwill, but I must admit I was expecting him to be much better than what we have seen to date ...

This is almost our best team on paper. You can't tell me that all our players are bad. 

Something is going terribly wrong.

Or perhaps we are just a side of overrated players that was put together at great expense.

Kimich started at 18-19 in Leipzig and was good enough.

Cowill is not good enough. Tell me what Cowill did at his teen years? Trainings????

He's a central defender. He's only playing LB ( which he is no good at)because of injuries

Who? Ivanovic? One of the best players we've ever had?

Ben White at Arsenal is horrid at full back and he'd be rotating with Saliba had Timber not get injured. 

Dan Burn is also pretty poor at full back as well. 

I am not saying being a world beater but still able to do a decent job there. Sergio Ramos, Maldini, even Azpilicueta played CB and both full back roles.

The issue I have with Colwill so far are the instances where he falls short on basic defending, regardless of position.

Failing to get past Middlesbrough would be embarrassing but probably easier to stomach than losing another final to Liverpool 

Not for me.

I'd rather get thrashed by Pool or Fulham than get beat over 2 legs in a semi to a championship team with more than half their squad out injured.

If we can't get past this Boro side it's a new low.

What is he waiting for? Make some changes dammit. 
 

Poch has been as out of his depth as the players, and I was one of his biggest supporters when he signed.

Diego Costa needs to go in to management.

Perhaps we should be selling Colwill to fund a move for a striker?

I won't go to the final if we get there, and play Liverpool.

I hate Wembley anyway, couldn't stand watching another defeat to them

He has an attitude problem.
