I really like Ange, I think he’s an honest manager who has a formula that’s got him success. He’s always been given time and that’s paid off.

Unfortunately the PL is a lot different to those leagues, and we have layers of things that contribute to why we are where we are.

The board focus more on revenue that onfield success.

The fans want success from day one and some don’t have the patience to see tough times through.

The players know they’ll outlast a manager.


However, Fulham, Ipswich, Palace, Bournemouth and Leicester, to only get 2 points is pathetic.
Agree with all of your post, except the bit in bold. First, fans have precisely no impact on what happens on the pitch. Our away fans are among the best anywhere, can hear them anywhere we play and that's been in some shit times too.

Second, on fans having no patience...a 25 year rebuild, most expensive tickets in the league, NFL stadium with the promise it would take us to the 'next level'. See where this is going? It's hard not to be annoyed.

I'll be there on Sunday. Tickets were around £80 each. A night at the opera!
 
Levy please sell up. Nobody likes you.
No one will buy since Levy will try to sell the club at 10 billion.

A 1-0 battering.

We've played worse before.. But that was lifeless and just so without any inspiration on a level that I can't remember.

I cant sympathise with a club having shortages at Centre Back due to injury, when you make the decision to go into the season with only three recognised centre backs. You reap what you sow..


We've played the last three games like a team can sometimes do after it has won a trophy.. A bit of a hangover, hard to find the same level of motivation. After the lord mayors show and all that.

But we didn't win a trophy... We just beat an abject and depleted Man City side in the league... Yes it was very nice... But if it wasn't rendered utterly worthless by the Fulham result.. It is now.
 
Getting a striker because he is good at running around, chasing players, despite being shit at scoring is terrible management. It is conceding to mid table or worse. It's as if we would've bought Shane Long back in the days. Pathetic. And for that price. Ridiculous.

Son, Johnson and Werner around him are not good enough either.

We create absolutely NOTHING for Solanke. He's NOT the problem.

He's a good player and he knows where the net is; but he's a fucking island up there and eventually the rest of the team run out of ideas and just aimlessly boot the ball up to him expecting miracles.

Shambles - that's a terrible performance but I'll keep going back to the summer and the shower of a transfer window.

So much money wasted on "prospects" when we needed established, first team ready players.

Squad always looks like it needs major surgery.
A lot of us said that in the summer and got told we were clueless by the positivity crowd.
I think they all should all delete their accounts, I have more football knowledge in my bell end than all of them combined.

I mentioned the other day that 8 of our top 10 record arrivals all time are with the club right now and we're 10th
 
Not something clueless but can't get the maximum out of the players.

That is a manager's job.
This bunch of players are fuckking shit. How are Bournemouth players faster and always first on the ball? These players are disgrace.

When I see Werner or Johnson on the wing I know that ball isn’t going anywhere useful.

Ange isn doing good job so far, but he’ll get full season. I’m worried that we are going i to cycle with managers.
