Ridiculously easy, very casual game.
Bit rich when you cant go a game without having a pop at Carrick dont you think? Even in the most comfortable of games you've posted twice having a go at him.
Nani was alright today, in the first half he was in the zone of trying to hard to impress which effected his decision making, he is though still our best winger and should absoloutly be playing ahead of Valencia

Harry Redknapp shifting the blame onto his players again I see.
He mentions the fact he has international standard players and former players of top teams and says the defeat justifies the need for him to invest in the squad. If he has those players and they are losing at home like that, surely that reflects badly on him? Or is it only me that sees it like that?
It probably doesn't help that I can't stand the man

But it's not the same joke though... I said that Leeds we're Norwich's 2nd XI and you said that Norwich were Leed's 2nd XI.. The former is correct while the latter is wrong as you give us your best players and in return we give you players we no longer want such as Adam Drury.
Yeah. Ok. Really different.

To be fair, it is the players fault

Highlights on ITV at 11 is probably your best bet.
No Nani should not be playing, until he shows he really wants to play for the club for a full 90 minutes (or until he tires).
His technical ability is not the only thing that matters here, with only a year or so left on his current contract (and only approx 6 months before he can start talking to other clubs) it would br daft to make him an automatic starter
His form is also still highly questionable, even despite the few minutes here and there where he comes alive (and remember I think only 20% of his shots vs Fulham were on target, 1 out of 5).
While we cant know for sure what wages any players relative to Nani are on, so saying he is/ isnt worth x amount makes no difference - but imo something along the lines of a 20% increase for the 1st year of the next contract on the promise of that rising another 20-30% for the next 2-3 years as long as his effort / form improve might be a good compromise

Was today a game you actually watched Frank?
For the record it's 11 months before he can talk to other clubs not 6
