Frank is our poorest manager of recent vintage at creating narrative chum to fuel our supporters tearing each other apart. How can we run a message board this way?

Basically you want us to be the finished article within the first 5-6 weeks of his tenure; despite the fact that if asked you'd insist that half the squad are shite.
"Not unreasonable" of you at all.
That's got all the hallmarks of a Levy "deal".
The sort of thing which compounded the Lewis's decision to boot the cunt out
Of course.
Nasty work, you had it down as a loss when we didn't even lose in normal time.
What?
They changed the rules of football a losses on penalties now count as draws?
Give it up.
The point about perception is massive because most people watch the game with a pre conceived perception before it starts and see mostly what their confirmation bias wants them to see.
With Frank, though, the difference between this season and last season is pretty objective. We are less risky in possession, so we are much more solid defensively. We are also much smarter at transitioning through the phases defensively. We aren’t as fluid in an attacking sense but we are getting regular goals from set pieces.
Essentially, the good results under Ange felt less secure but were more exciting and the good results under Frank feel less exciting but much more repeatable and secure.
If you're comparing records with our previous manager and claim they have identical records and the only thing that's separating them is perception then you're being totally disingenuous.
You don't need to tell me about 'confirmation bias' in regards to Ange, we all know how he has been perceived in football but using it as a comparison in this context is bullshit.
How is it disingenuous?
Comparing a glorified friendly which was lost on pens to a competitive match, yeah nothing disingenuous about that at all lol
The comparison doesn't work unless they manage identical matches - how does the comparison between the Prem records stand up?
It wasn't a friendly, glorified or whatever. And we lost.
3 points more than last season for EPL games.
Not quite, given one of the 2 was against the best club team in the world, who we took to pens, after being the better team!
Bournemouth was shite. Really shite. And we all saw the old Postecoglou team in that game. But that won't wash if we have performances like that in a couple of months time.
The other thing is that Ange was 13 / 14 months into his tenure then. Give Frank a chance!
If you really want to compare fairly how do the respective Prem records stand up against each other?
90 mins you clown
just like the Tamworth game was a draw.
Jeez you guys
It’s definitely a competitive match. There is a trophy at stake that we’d all have loved to win.
It’s just an all competition comparison, did he leave out any games for Ange?
Bit of a weird take tbh
