It's honestly embarassing, we've come out of a decade of mediocrity and people are still kicking off. We deserve all the stick we get from the media at times.

Lush Vlad Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 On 21/01/2022 at 10:59, Wandy said: Just remember that only two weeks ago we had one of the worst results in our history, so the idea that the current manager is blameless is bullshit. He has also had the luxury of the most supportive home crowd for at least 15 years and we have little to show for it. Even Rafa didn't have that luxury and Bruce achieved results against the exact opposite backdrop. The honeymoon is over and it's time that the support showed it's teeth a little more as we are sleepwalking into the Championship. Expand Bruce was saved by Covid, I reckon. Even with Ashley in charge, I don't think he would have survived how toxic it would have become. How many games were played behind closed doors during his time here? Seemed like it was about a season and a half?! His first half season or so, or whatever it was. It just felt flat and dead. Not even particularly negative towards him. I thought the Bruce out stuff at games only really took off once fans were back this season? Rafa got universally backed by the fans at games, mind. He certainly got more adulation than Howe, IMO. Based on current results, rightly so and all. Other than that, I suppose you're right. Not sure what showing me gnashers is going to do, mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pointless arguing that he's had enough backing in the market based on something that hasn't happened yet. Expand We might as well just not discuss anything then. I said "he'll have had" not "he's had". He's already been given £25M to spend on Chris Wood, we've brought in Trippier, and there will undoubtedly be more significant deals to be done in the next week and a half. If we don't make any more signings at all, then he clearly won't have had "enough backing". However, if we spend £100M+ and still go down after 27 games of him as manager, I don't think he should be kept on. All pointless, though, apologies.

Expand Broadly agree with you but re the bit in bold, the backing is clearly there so he's accountable if the transfer window fails due to him selecting targets that aren't/were never attainable (Botman/Carlos/Lingard).

Expand That's all a bit basic, isn't it? Using hindsight to look back at the earlier games, where teams are now and not based on how those games were at the time, the positions of the opponents, their form and ability at the time, different managers etc. Spurs were shite under Nuno. Watford were just as bad and in shite form under Munoz too, if memory serves? Leeds and Southampton at home not seen as easy/winnable games at the time? Villa? Were they really any good back then? They've had an upturn in form and good results and performances since Gerrard came in. They're still only 13th after all that, mind? Plus the difference in the games listed under Bruce and then under Howe, playing a few teams who are light years ahead and basically always beat us in Liverpool, City and Arsenal. Man U and all. Although we did catch them at a good time, I suppose. They look average now. Edited January 21, 2022 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
