I'm not a woman (and you should not consider that all women or all men are the same, that's an incredibly backward way of thinking), I'm simply autistic, which for me means taking words quite literally, and trying to understand their meaning perhaps more than most people might do. That does sometimes make it difficult for me to understand English when it is used by people who don't have it as their first language, as I tend to notice quirks or unusual usages more than most people would. Sorry if it came across as offensive, it most certainly wasn't intended to, I was merely trying to understand what you were on about.

Having said all of that, if you say something on an internet forum that seems a bit out of kilter with what everyone else is saying (i.e. your comments about our away and home form), then it is likely that someone will ask about it, and may analyse the details. That's not 'overthinking', it's simply trying to understand what the fuck someone is on about when they something that sounds weird given the current context.

I didnt know you were autistic so i understand.

Just one thing before we move on: Women and men are not the same and it is not a backward thinking.
Its facts. Don't let those woke, feminist pride lgbtqabcdefg people tell you other wise.

  • Do midfielders just refuse to take the initiative to make themselves available for short passes? But then players look like they're instructed to go out of their way to seek wide areas in general, as has been discussed here endlessly.
  • Does Frank consider these high percentage passes that our current strikers cannot get on the receiving end of, and therefore think everything will start clicking once we get a decent target man in Solanke or a January signing out there? Seems a little bit too optimistic to me. These are just low percentage plays regardless of the personnel, even though a striker whose second touch is usually a tackle in Richarlison certainly doesn't help things.
This in its current form is just giveaway after giveaway, that much is clear.

Yeah it's always strikes me as weird how often we just aimlessly punt it. I guess if we don't want to risk passing it out from the back it makes some sense, but our players often do it when they aren't even under pressure.

If we had Toney winning headers, sure, not a bad option. But Rich and RKM aren't those types of strikers and we're not winning any headers or second balls. All we do it cede possession constantly unless Kudus holds off 2 guys before, usually, passing it backwards again...then we punt it long.

Just seems odd to do something that's clearly so counterproductive (I mean look at our results) when you're meant to be this adaptable manager who adjusts according to the strengths of the squad. And repeatedly asking players to do something that patently doesn't work is exactly the type of thing that's gonna annoy them and make them lose faith in the manager.
 
You got to think maybe someone is willing to come in now if Frank is on the brink.

Maybe they've been sounding out in the last few weeks and the timing has arrived

Midfield is weak. I think Frank knows this. We lose the ball too much in the midfield. We need to buy a creative midfielder. Can't rely on Madds to be healthy.
 
The bookies' manager markets are always as mental as a box of frogs. Not sure that actually means anything does it?

Maybe someone's just lumped a huge amount on and they're covering their arses. Doesn't mean Frank's 100% gone yet (although the way the wind is blowing he'll be lucky to make the New Year).
