Yesterday was far worse. We'd most our players available and it looked like we just only planned to sit back and let them dominate us. It was the most one sided north London Derby in my lifetime. I don't think Frank has made any progress on that metric.
Time wasting while 0-0 in the first half of a NLD should be a sackable offence in itself, never have I been so embarrassed of the team, If it wasn't for Vic it would have been 6-1 - I honestly think that is the easiest game they will get all season!
 
I mean I really wanted Ange sacked, and was fed up with getting spanked most weeks but at least we had a go most of the time.

Frank is not in danger yet but that could change very, very quickly in the next few weeks if he doesn't change his ultra defensive approach.

It's starting to look like he doesn't have the confidence for the job and the players will sense that.
 
Damn, Frank got people pining for Ange 😆
Yeah I don't want to go there , I just looked at the table though , we are only 8 points off Burnely and 7 Points off Leeds - we might get lucky again in that the bottom 3 are just so shite we stay up , but if Leeds do get rid of Farke and start picking up some points then who knows, I get its to early to talk of relegation however right now I just don't see where our next win is coming from!
If Fulham was away maybe we would get something, we never win at Newcastle away - you just know that the Brentford will be fired up to get one over on their old gaffer and forest since sacking Ange have started looking a lot better!

The next five games have got 4 points or less written all over them.

Dippers, Forest and Barcodes will be losses.

Fulham will be a hard game but between that and Brentford I couldn’t tell you where the win will be. We are awful at home and Brentford will be up for beating Frank.
 
I think these players are bored with him and his football tbh, the body language certainly suggests it.
You defended Ange religiously for a year and a half after we were getting smacked up by every shitty team both home and away.

It's been what? 5/6 months and look at your posts directed at Frank ,It's continuously negative. Yes you've said you're not Frank out yet but the post above is absolutely ridiculous and you would have never ever said that in the Ange era as it's based on literally nothing. You would have laughed at the poster and said the fanbase is cooked.

The thing is things can change very quickly in Football, beat Fulham and get a win away at Newcastle and suddenly things are looking a lot better, I think we actually have the players to do it but we are to defence minded , its like yesterday we scored a goal out of no where, they were still 3-1 but looked genuinely rattled - yet we seemed to just ease off, its not the first time we have done it either, its like as soon as we score we shit the bed.

We're closer to 18th than 1st.

Just a week ago, "we're 5th, stop fucking moaning, everything is fine, you're a spoiled child". The tables have turned very quickly. Anyone not expecting the team to roll over and give them their easiest win of the season were kidding themselves. This is as bad as it's been. Absolutely no better than last season considering the injuries. If I said it once,no said it a million times, he's out of his depth here, this is not Bournemouth.

Or Brentford.
 
Unless you want us finishing in the bottom 5, then if the appropriate appointment isn't available tio summer, then yes.

Ye whopper.

Yeah let's go get 'the caretaker' David pleat see what he's up to shall we. Mason might be sacked by West Brom shall we recall him back to the club? 😆

Never let emotions rule your thought process, you genuinely sound like a bitch on the reds... Logic>emotion.
 
Throw in an away game at PSG and it's very hard to see where wins are coming from. The way we play at home there almost a write off (how fucking bad even thinking this but 3 wins in 20 home games tells the story), we never win up at Newcastle and this bunch of players / manager will never go away to a Sean Dyche team and beat them.
Franks in real trouble

Needs to about a hammering at PSG.

Fulham is huge. I’ve not looked since yesterday but prior to the weekend there were thousands of tickets on the exchange.

Anything but a win against Fulham and the stadium will be pretty toxic.

I would normally say he’s relying on the players to show up. But he’s going himself no favours with tactics / personnel. He needs to be brave.

We need that 3 points as a little buffer / springboard.

It’s crazy how Liverpool are below us in that form league. Strange times.

I reckon even you'd get a better tune out of this team right now. We stick with him, we're fucked. You want that, fair play to you.

Ah would you ever pipe down you moron. Emotions. I've been saying the same thing for fucking weeks. What I've said would happen is coming to pass, because anyone with an ounce of football knowledge could see this unfolding. It's not going to get better, and I'd at least like to be entertained, of nothing else for the rest of this year.

You're a contrary bollox.

Ok.

Nothing ridiculous about that if you're watching the football...I'm going by what I see, these players look bored and I know you're doing your utmost to defend Frank because you've backed him so much but you should probably stop lying to yourself in this instance.

And you should probably notice a pattern, I'm backing Frank just like I backed Ange, I generally back all my managers, doesn't mean I can't call him out - just like Ange I want Frank to do better and stick around, I criticised Ange plenty of times btw.

If Slot hadn't have won the league last year and got some credit in the bank, he'd be a goner to be fair. They're in shambles too.
They need to be brave, drop Salah, sell him in Jan and lay a gauntlet down that no one is bigger than the club.

No doubt they give us a hiding to nothing. Isak will open his account against us, and give them back that feel good factor.
 
Can't afford to lose to Fulham next week, or those in the lofty positions might legitimately start to ask questions.

Yesterday it was what it was, and the result was absolutely as I expected, and where the fantasists came up with all manner of unjustified reasons for thinking we would win.

Fulham, who got a good win on the weekend will absolutely fancy it, and more than the PSG game, Frank has to avoid a loss.

If not, hnmmmmmnnn..... which is simoly a function of the demand.
