He had much better forwards than he does here and his style of football suited them. They played not to lose and attack on the break, perfectly acceptable at a club like Brentford.

Here he has had to adapt his ideas to a club that expects to play on the front foot and failed completely. It doesn’t help that our forwards wouldn’t start for Brentford. Not a single one.
I he gets his way and we buy Kevin Schade, he will flop. Guaranteed.

How’s Wissa doing at Newcastle?
 
Again, this is spot on.

It’s not going to get better. He’s not going to turn it round. We are sinking deeper and deeper into the mire.

So why wait to sack him?
Exactly this. There are zero signs that things are going to improve. Players clearly dont rate him and think that has been clear for months
And the final sentence is the reason we've been shit. The players don't rate him.
Exactly this. There is absolutely no sign that things are going to improve. Players clearly dont rate him which has been obvious for months. That game where Spence and Micky blanked him after the game was telling. Not heard any players ever coming out saying anything positive regarding the manager or videos at the training ground with players engaging with the manager. We are a shambles. The players have to take responsibility but I guess we only see them on a game day. This is their place of work and they live it every day so if things really are bad and players are unhappy, it is natural that performances will not be of the highest level which can't happen at a level where margins of winning and losing can be so fine.
 
How did he win games at Brentford? It baffles me to think he had success there.

He has the buy in from those players because they're a small club with less expectations. Brentford have the lowest wage budget in the league, those players aren't prima donnas and mostly have come from lesser leagues and the Championship so they will listen to him and his coaches.

It doesn't help him that our players won a trophy last season for a manager they all genuinely respected, why would they listen to him when he hasn't achieved anything in the game?
 

I wasn't going to say anything (thinking the moment had gone), but now it seems potentially relevant: in their attack just before their goal, we had a player deep in their half walking slowly back towards our half. He was on his own, all their players were much nearer to our goal than he was. I could have sworn it was Romero, but couldn't go back to check as can't do that on streams. A few seconds later, the camera behind our goal shows the melee around our 6 yard box, and I swear Romero wasn't there. Was it him in their half? Was he a bit injured or just pissed off and given up (which would be weird at 1-1)? Did anyone else notice the same? Or was I just mistaken?
 
Well, that's it.

I heard it was Romero, can't be too sure though.
