It's not his fault he's got a squad that's 80% other managers and he's only signed 6 players. He's been brilliant for us but he can't change shit players into Zidanes.

He needs to set the team up better from the off. I think he’s done a good job overall, as if stands, but if we fall below 4th from where we were any talk of him performing miracles can get right in the bin.

at least the coronation concert is on

It’s his fault his run them into the ground tbf

If you’re going to play the horse play him as a striker and don’t shift our better players out of position to shoehorn him into the team.

Play/bring on the extra midfielder.

Before the usual suspect(s) throw a hissy, I’m still firmly behind him but he’s bottled some big decisions imo.

Garnacho? listen you can give a man paid millions of year some criticism without being accused of pissing the bed

It’s alarming how quickly our confidence goes.

We were playing ok until the goal, then we simply had no response. We should have been 2 or 3 down by the hour mark. We get washed away in games. Aside from the heavy defeats - where teams have been ruthless - we’ve seen similar performances here, second half against spurs, Villa, Newcastle. They were just a bit more generous with their finishing.

We’ve prided ourselves in showing character after defeats, but even that abandoned us today.

£200m spent and we can’t even set up to stay solid away from home.
there’s also no style of play and his new main stay signings have been shot at the business end of the season.

Bluffers and frauds

He had absolutely nothing to lose at 1-0 down with 15 minutes to go, throw garnacho, martial and whoever is an attacker on and take of malacia then, don’t wait until the 88th minute yo to it

@#%&!s. £#%&! off.

What was the point of Garnacho travelling? Utterly bizarre thinking from ETH

Come on, our schedule since the WC has been totally ridiculous - I can genuinely never remember anything like it.

Plus had those wretched games against Leeds and Palace not been postponed, we would likely have four more points and not in this crisis now.

Then there was one of the worst ever VAR decisions £#%&!ing us over in our Europa group and thus meaning we had to play even more games

He’s run the first team into the ground because all but 2 or 3 of the remaining players are thick as £#%&!, unreliable fannies, which is proving itself currently as they’re having to play.

That’s the first time we’ve lost when Cas, Eriksen and Bruno have started together, unfortunately 2 of them are absolutely spent and their replacements are Fred and a number 10 who is on loan from Munich, no sign of McT just when he’s actually needed.

Can’t knock linders and Shaw tbf, but Shaw is at CB because Maguire is £#%&!. Fullbacks we all know are an issue. Sancho hasn’t turned up in 2 years, Martial actually looked sharp and something like interested when he came on, but that has taken a month to achieve and is still not good enough. Weggy is Weggy. It’s a shit show. We’ve 10 players you can point to as actually useful and 3 of them are in their 30’s, the rest are so £#%&!ing hit and miss its unreal.

If the mooted £100m+ sales is the budget for the summer, there’s going to be a few more seasons like this.

Probably didn’t want the £#%&! kicking out of him by Kehrer tbh.

Well then he needs to change the way they play in order to adapt to what he has because he sending them out there every game now to get £#%&!ing @#%&!ted. We play stupid naive idiotic football that the opposition must absolutely love to play against.

And let's not forget we were basically cheated out of a point against Brighton.

As I said in the other thread, so much stuff not actually our own fault has £#%&!ed us over this season it is unreal.

I’ve said it about 4 times, but he’s played the extra midfielder against Seville and Villa at home and it worked well both times (Seville collapse aside), but he’s not done it in 2 games we needed something, anything from. You’ve got to question that. Picking Weg and not Sabitzer tonight after what happened Thursday was just stupid.

Would hope someone at the club is taking some form of accountability rather than having this sort of (loser's) mindset.

The team as a whole need to fight more he should expect starters and subs to fight Sancho and Sabitzer improved us slightly so nothing wrong with the subs, yet again nothing 10H can do about @#%&! being @#%&!

Summed up by playing out from the back. Our keeper is a nervous wreck just waiting to be preyed upon. If you’re the opposition, you’d like up seeing us getting ready to take one of those goals kicks where we play it to full back on the six yard box.

Just be pragmatic. He did it earlier in the season. After the Brighton and Brentford games, he abandoned it.

We’re getting run through in midfield. Put another body in there. It worked against Villa and we haven’t done it since. We’ve been overrun in the second half our last 3 away games and failed to score in those halves.

We need something. A spark. We’re not getting 3 wins from 4 just doing what we’re doing.
