I was of the view...that I wanted him off the wage bill at all costs. That was in May. The reason for this was his shocking performances last season. We now know he was injured AND SHOULDN'T OF EVEN BEEN PLAYING. So basically, JFH hung him out to dry. I can only go on what I see; this season his effort levels have been very good, indeed the effort he put in Saturday basically won us the game. What I will say is that this week he's either scored or been instrumental in 3 of the 4 goals. On each occasion he won the ball from the opposition when he was never entitled to win it. THAT IS THE EFFORT LEVELS ID LIKE TO SEE FROM ALL OF OUR PLAYERS, ALL OF THE TIME. His determination to get to the ball first won us the corner which we scored from and for the 2nd goal, his relentless charge completely rattled the FGR defender into making a mistake. Fantastic stuff. This in the same week, our new manager has labelled him as 'complex'. He's set the bar high this week for himself. We now know what he can do if he puts his mind to it. Lets hope it continues, because if it does it will mean he's going to be back playing at a higher level sooner rather than later. If he puts that sort of display in for us on a consistent basis then that higher level could still be with us, that as things stand though is a mighty long shot!

I'll be staggered if Curle does not bring in a replacement for Cornell in January.
Prepare to be staggered.

If he doesn't will you and the other detractors finally give up, probably not.

Yes 100%. Are you willing to commit?

At the game on Sat when Cornell first approached the North Stand he received an enthusiastic reception. A decent show of appreciation for an supposedly NG goalie! As judges of players the North End is a decent barometer of opinion.

Commit? I was simply illustrating the point that your post can swing both ways. I never said I would admit I was wrong about Cornell's ability if he is not replaced in January. If you rate Cornell and he is replaced then why should that alter your opinion of his ability? I'll change my opinion on him if he plays the second half of the season with very few (if any) goal-costing errors as it's the performances that matter, this has always been my stance.

I sit in the North and always clap the keeper. Why would I not? Supporting a player and not rating him are not mutually exclusive.

Thought I read that you sat in the East Stand? You are a strong opponent of Cornell why would you join in the enthusiastic reception Cornell received?
Are you picking a fight?

The critical thing with KVV is that he has to do it every week . Everyone knows he has the talent but iits applying it consistently and not when he feels like it . Hopefully KC can get in his head and get the best from him .

De Gea was utter garbage last night wasn't he! Should have stopped Rashford's and both of Sterling's goals... obviously!

If he can keep it up he will be a beast in this division, but I’d still take an inconsistent Van Veen over either Hoskins and Williams any day.
