Jamie sounds as if he thinks he will play Saturday .

[knocker]

Hope Harry doesn't agree!

[Rangers77]

Mackie inexplicably plays every week. Groundhog Day. Sigh......

[Ric-Roc]

Harry loves him.

Unfortunately.

[Dale]

What does Mackie do to make managers him play every week

Makes you wonder

[Ric-Roc]

Lick ar5e. Yes man. Tryer. Good attitude, trains hard.

Still all means nothing if your not very good.

Probably the same thing Gareth Barry does to Mancini and Hodgson.

Teachers pets is a polite way to put it.

That team should never have lost at home to a struggling Saints side that hadn't won in their previous six prem matches.

He annoys me more than any player. He is completely ineefective. You get people say "he scores goals" but does he... he has 2 this season having played nearly every game.... very poor return and has missed plenty of absolute sitters.

It's not so much that he's poor and plays, he cant help being picked, what annoys me is that he plays as if he's Messi and always tries to beat players even when he has no skill and there are good options. Saturday in the first half we had a couple of breaks and with one he had easy options left and right 3 on 3 i think, but instead tried to beat his nearest defender when uneccessary and lost the ball as per usual..... he is sh1te, end of.

On paper that team should have won and did have eraly chances to take the lead, but I still think they lost because they had 'given up' playing for Hughes.

Dont forget that the 2nd goal was an error from Traore, who won the ball but delayed kicking it away and lost it again. The 3rd goal was a ludicrous own goal from Ferdinand.

It also didnt help that Granero was played out on the right wing for that game.

zamora is a walking dead( ok playing thru pain ) man, no johnson, remy is an unknown
so who plays?

Ridiculous.

Zamora can play at least a half, as can Remy (although i'd hope he's getting to the stage he can play full games now). Also Bothroyd is sitting there mostly unused, even though he was immense in the cup at west brom, so why isnt he playing up front when needed instead of the likes of Mackie and Taarabt who are not strikers, and especially not lone strikers....it't illogical management.

Other options off a front man would include Taarabt in a typical no 10 role in the hole, or Hoilett (who linked very well with Zamora earlier in the season, even SWP buzzing about would be far far better options than Mackie.

[James1979]

Mackie from the bench for me. He has made good impacts as sub in past. I think we need to chgange the midfield up. Diakite anyone? Just tell him to not hold back and get stuck in. There's a good player in there somewhere....we saw it last season

[SammyKojoe]

Will actually despair if he starts saturday. Am not even sure he is good enough for the Championship let alone the PL.

[Rangers77]

He shouldn't, but he will start Saturday. Its guaranteed.
