Seeing this makes me realize how much heavy lifting that single win do in my head.
I’m still hopeful we can stay up.14th in the league. Diabolical really.
Don't believe this to be the case did anyone consider Barcelona to have a fantastic squad before Flick came in? Good managers inspire better performances, the fact the players outperformed the points xG last season suggests a narrative that they are covering for the managers incompetence in certain aspects of the game.
While I agree the finishing has been poor, a new manager will likely reinvigorate where the team is currently.
Objectively they are playing under a bad manager, that is the rude awakening that's stark to the present reality with this club.
Can you expand here?This performance has actually hardened my stance on the coach. Glad he'll get more time, and couldn't care less about who it winds up in the process.
No it's only his 9th game for us under a new football structure that has obviously huge influence in our football (not going into detail here how exactly but it's obvious). Also in half the games we lost this season we might have snatched a point or two had we been a bit more lucky/injury-free/cold in front of goal.
I can't tell if you're being serious or not, but ultimately it's the results that count and 14th in the league after nine games is unacceptable.Surely a WUM, right?
Let's be fair and give the man a chance. We played very well in the first half, produced more than 2 xG, and we have so many injuries.
1 win in 8 is progress alright...Only 2 losses in our last 8 games
All I can say is we created a mountain of chances to put the game well beyond West Ham. We set out correctly and structurally we were fine. We were zipping the ball around for the majority of the game enough to be comfortable. Shit finishing is something the players need to take ownership of.
Explain to me why? LVG won an FA cup in the final against Palace. ETH won one against the best team in Europe. Enough said
The standards are so low there are celebrations because we created some chances against a shite team. Scary stuff what we’ve become.
Nah, I was kidding. Can't fathom that you've believed in him until now. He should've been sacked 18 months ago.I can't tell if you're being serious or not, but ultimately it's the results that count and 14th in the league after nine games is unacceptable.
I dont think they are clueless, I just think none of them have the balls to make the decision
Yeah but again we don't always play such poorly organised teams all season and hence would barely create plenty of such clear chances, innit. That puts us back in the position we are currently in. So, just about right.Right, but you create as much as you do today for most the games this season and the league position will even itself out.
Anything to support the manager…The standards are so low there are celebrations because we created some chances against a shite team. Scary stuff what we’ve become.
We will only get a slight improvement.What
After 5 games, we’re 5-7 points behind the top 2-3 teams. “It’s still early. Wait 5 more games.”“It’s still early in the season”
We are a quarter of the way through the PL season now
Go. Please.
It's still on him, three seasons in he can't get his playing good in a full 90 minute game, if we play like how we played in the first half it'd be a different result. We just ain't progressingThis one wasn't on him, but his luck of hanging on may have finally come to an end...please...hopefully?
Considering the hype about the match against CP when we drew against them, you would think they were the best team in the league.Explain to me why? LVG won an FA cup in the final against Palace. ETH won one against the best team in Europe. Enough said
Meaningless trophies? We hadn’t won 1 for like 6 years before ETH. Fans was crying out for trophies. How is beating our local rivals in the FA cup final meaningless? Some fan you are. Only Mourinho betters ETH for me. And this ain’t me defending ETH, I want him gone just like everyone els.What we are seeing now and honestly for more than one year is unparalleled in incompetence. The only reason I'd rate Moyes behind EtH is because of the two meaningless trophies he won. Everyone else has done a better job than him considering funds provided
Probably because it’s the first time we’ve actually seen us dominate a game away from home despite not winning. Plus everyone was raving about their new manager last season and how he should replace ETH… how’s he doing now?Considering the hype about the match against CP when we drew against them, you would think they were the best team in the league.
Maddening isn’t itAfter 5 games, we’re 5-7 points behind the top 2-3 teams. “It’s still early. Wait 5 more games.”
After 10 games, we’re 10-15 points behind the leaders. “It’s still early. Wait until Christmas.”
On Christmas Day, we’re 25 points behind… “Can Manchester United finish 4th”… then 6th…
I don’t think he’ll salvage too much, but currently they are so far off it and have huge confidence issues, it’s just time to have a difference head voice that makes different decisions, clearly they want Xavi however he’ll take one look at those attacking options and probably turn it down, losing 4 PL games from your first 9 PL games is sackable offence. Wining 4 matches from 14 Is a sackable offence.Why does anyone think Ruud will 'salvage' anything?
