Have to agree. People will defend it on the basis of some kind of pragmatism (Lascelles being captain etc) but ultimately our best CB is not being picked to play.

Amir_9 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 We've let go games that we could have won or got more from based on these nonsense decisions. Anyone knows that our best pairing is Schar and Fernandes. All this Shelvey, Joelinton and "positive approach" + good PR crap means fuck all if you handicap yourself in this manner.

Pilko Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Needs to be bold now and drop some of these wankers who are costing us. He did it with Ritchie, now must do it again. Lascelles, St Maximin and Willock need sitting down immediately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Today's the only one where I think we've really, properly fucked it, as a collective. The Brentford draw was a good battle and a fair result, Emirates was typical Emirates, Norwich would have been a win but for Clark and Burnley was good. But today has been unacceptably wank and hopefully there's some fresh ideas asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much where i'm at, even today, I think the game has been pretty even they've just had that final bit of quality, where our players are lacking completely.

Aiston Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Worried he is still playing Willock and Shelvey together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) I wasn't sold on the idea of him getting the job, still ain't. 5 games in, I think the only player that has looked better under him is Joelinton. Defensively I could argue we look even worse than before. We're not staying up with this guy at the helm. Edited December 12, 2021 by Menace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Seen nothing to really suggest my initial thoughts that he was totally the wrong manager to appoint in our situation. He’s in place now and has to be given the chance, but just never thought he was the right fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I mean he has to change things after today, aye? We're not playing with Willock and Shelvey in the centre next game, are we? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 He needs to bring Hayden in ASAP. He’s no world beater but at least he tries. He has to bring some legs. Willock and Shelvey nothing short of disgraceful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Two games against teams coming off poor results in Leicester and Arsenal and we've barely laid a glove on either Closest we've come is their defender nearly putting it into his own net from 30 yards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Bonked I really like the guy personally and he says all the right things. He speaks so well, I want it to work out for him and us so much but It feels like not much has changed and we're heading into the abyss. We desperately needed the defense sorted out and that's not happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 He'd have better prospects if he was a chef tbh. Could turn out some nice chicken soup with the ingredients in this squad, or with the size of their hearts, maybe pea soup would be a nice starter.

I mean that's a bit of a stupid way of looking at it after such a short time. We were in an absolutely dreadful state when he took over and it's a massive job to get this lot going. He's made some poor decisions so far but we've also seen the odd improvement and actually won a game, which we hadn't done in the dozen games before he was at the wheel. I'm not saying he can't be criticised; of course he can. But I think he probably deserves more than five games before we're making conclusions, particularly given the utter state we were in when he arrived.
