Only one change needed Clarke for Elliot
I believe the phrase, Night of Long Knives comes from the early 1960 cabinet reshuffle under Macmillan,in which he sacked nearly half of his cabinet,maybe Robins will follow suit.Is needed at CCFC? Should we make some changes to our starting XI v Bury?
Any one agree?
*this does not involve killing anyone for anyone who takes the title seriously. I got it from the commentary of France v Wales (6 Nations) and liked it, so I stole it

Drop McSheffrey......
....He needs a kick up the arse, a wake up call.....
He should be pissing this league, but his goal return & general contribution has been utter shite for far too long now....

In historical terms yes,however in the parlance of Britain,the Night of Long Knives is usually associated with 'Macmillan's mass culling of his cabinet.'you'd be wrong though....
From a Hitler Speech in 1934.....or an AC-DC song
Obviously clarke has more goals then Elliot but unless it's put on the plate clarke don't seem to bring anything. Whereas as soon as Elliot comes on he works his socks off

9 of those 22 were sub appearances, while Clarke started from the bench once. If he's having a barren patch then yes you DO drop your top scorer. If you're not winning, you try something a bit different.Again, fans are fans and managers are managers.
You would replace someone who has 5 goals in 11 appearances for a player who has 4 in 22.
Thank god Robins is our manager.
I know Elliott has been sub a few times, but I just don't see how you can drop our top scorer.

Just my opinion mind. Robins will do whatever he does because he's the manager & has more experience of football than I have. I'm happy to defer to him.
Spoken like a true fan, perceived hard work above ability any day.
Well said, something that's bugged me about fans for a long time, I don't know if it's just English/British fans but look at Dirk Kuyt, fan favourite at Liverpool, ran his socks off, scored feck all and had no attributes to play wing, terrible player for LFC.
Only thing about Clarke is, I don't think he fits in with our system so we're accommodating him but it's having a negative impact on the team. I genuinely don't know who I'd start upfront, but I don't think starting 2 upfront is the answer, and that is where we disagree.
For Liverpool -
176 (32) PL appearances 51 goals - 1 in 4 from right midfield
49 (5) European appearances (CL and EL) 15 goals just less than 1 in 4 from right midfield
For holland
93 international appearances and 24 goals less than 1 in 4
You're right that's an awful return from someone who played wide right for th majority of his English career

People don't want Elliott selecting ahead of Clarke just because he "works his socks off": they want him as he looks a faster, more intelligent, more skillful and simply all-round better player in every way. Leon might have scored some goals when playing abysmally, but Elliott has contributed too much to ignore after the last two matches-as well as having a decent strike-rate when starting under Robins. In terms of goals disallowed (Stevenage?), hitting the woodwork and great 'keeper saves, he's also probably been our most unlucky player.
No they want him because he runs around a lot and chases lost causes. He is a classic case of font over substance. His finishing is generally quite poor. Was it Preston when he headed over from 3 yards with the keeper out his goal.
Other than MK Dons away when he has started games he generally has been average when starting games.
He weren't even that good in the 1st half.
But, aren't you like this about Fleck? Yes.
