Now at a firm 9 and will go to 10 if the next 2 games are lost...this has been coming for a long time and its no surprise that the club are where they are apart from the fact that McClaren must have almost zero motivational powers to get such awful performances from players who should at least be capable of finishing 14th.

Charnley reminded me of Nero fiddling whilst Rome burnt when they showed him during the game yesterday.......

10 if the second best coach in the premiership is still bringing out the worst in what we've got and generally stinking-up the place with his horseshit patter, for next match.9 with a new broom-any fucker- prior to then. Starting Fucking Rivière. Christ almighty. Other results suggest it is us or Makems.

Reasons to be cheerful; Sunderland (H), Swansea (H), Palace (H), Norwich (A), Villa (A). Surely we can't be down already with those games to play.

If these arseholes persist with McClaren then the only way I can see us getting out of this is going back to 4-4-2

 

                Blob

 

Jan  Mbemba  Taylor      Had

 

Sissoko  Tiote  Shelvey  Winny\Townsend

 

        Mitro\Cisse      Unc Ben

 

 

Just no fight or inspiration from anywhere.

It's looking grim now. Two out of ourselves, Norwich and the Mackems will drop, and our neighbours seem to be doing the best at the moment.

 

It's not fair to blame McClaren, in that the slide began long before he arrived, and it can take more than one season to turn that kind of momentum around.

 

The biggest (but not the only) problem is the defence. If you're insecure at the back, that saps the confidence of the entire side. It feels like we have to begin again from scratch in that area.

I think you can blame McLaren for his part in this. We look bigger losers than ever and he has persisted with a terrible formation all season. We have no width, midfield is overran too frequently and 1 up front has been killing us.

 

A reluctance to dump players like Sissoko, Colo and Wini away from home and not realising Mitro probably needs a partner up front

To be fair to SMC, we've tried quite a few different formations and there are a real lack of options within the squad. 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2, 4-3-3 and 3 at the back. His selections are what's killed us so badly recently, along with his inability to motivate some key players.

When have we tried 442 and a real 433 (not 451) for any length of time?

 

4-3-3 has been used sporadically, aye, but we had a pretty decent run of playing Gini left, Sissoko right and Perez & Mitro up top towards the back end of last year.

 

Edit: not arguing it's not due another shot with Townsend, btw. That'd be a possible way for us to go for the foreseeable, with Gini now looking so rubbish.

It is fair to blame him, he's shite and he's going to get us relegated because he can't do his job to even a reasonable standard.

Still a 9 stroking a 10. If the idiots do the right thing and bin McClown then there is a chance of getting organised and getting some points on the board.  If they don't lift a finger and make a change , I'll shift to a 10 - nailed on.

Cronky's right in that the problems go far beyond McClaren. He has failed to turn it around, for that he takes the blame. But the reasons we are failing in general are much wider.

 

A capable manager wouldn't have us in our current position, it's as simple as that.

What are everyone's predictions?

AWAY: 8 7 points

Everton L

Chelsea L

Stoke D L

Leicester L

Norwich W

Southampton D

Liverpool L

Villa W

 

HOME: 13 10 points

West  Brom W

(Man City D)

Bournemouth W

Makems W

Swansea W

Palace L

Spurs L

 

21 17 points

 

Whilst not found of s*** or bust thinking/statements, can't help thinking tomorrow is a s*** or bust game.

 

The way they've played the last two games, well I just can't see them winning. Regardless of points available, regardless of what they may possibly be capable of, their confidence looks shot to fuck. Change needed to snap them out of it; Stupid Management Cunt--do one thing positive for once, in fact just do one...
