Can i point out last season, with our injury list, which i would argue was worse as we didn't have the squad to fall back like you have. We got to the quarter final of the League Cup, were in the Champions League and still managed to finish 7th in the Premier League.
For you to be 16th, and to have lost 18 league games so far is completely unacceptable, and even with the injuries and extra games it's still not enough to justify the complete collapse of league form.
And, i might add, i didn't hear Howe complain about our injuries, yet Ange kept saying yours were a direct reason for losing, and once those players returned you would win, and yet....
