It’s a loser mentality. Of course we will lose games, but he’s seemingly writing off a third of our games and alright with them being shit.

What's worrying me now, and the trend is becoming more evident, is that how he's sounding more and more like how we play on the pitch....NEGATIVE.

How's he going to inspire attacking football which is positive sounding like that.

I'm really skeptical he'll make the changes he needs to.

Those comments coupled with the 17th finish last season remarks after the NLD speak volumes.
 
He continued: We had 53 situations where it was duels or second balls and we came out on top of 17 of those, lost 36. I you don't do that, it's the basic, it is very hard to win any football match. Very simple, we were not aggressive enough when we pushed forward or securing the ball, not landing in the areas where the second ball landed."
Honestly, at this point, it's just numbers...
Eye test TELLS you we lost out on all those 2nd balls.... You don't NEED exact figures!

We were shit... 53/17/36 means nothing... That's just statistics to go on a mood board at your next presentation....

Go at them with NO MERCY like you fucking HATE them, and the numbers will take care of themselves!

Fuck being nice.. I HATE nice!
 
Exactly. Our squad is just very average. Probably on a par with Villa and man Us. Scum, Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool, Newcastle all have better starting elevens than us. I would swap every one of our front six usual starting players for those 5 teams.
I’d say United’s forwards in Cunha and Mbeumo are far better than any of our forward line (jury still out on RKM until he has games under his belt).

I’d rather have fucking kept Ange than this
 
The tide is definitely turning away from Frank.

He needs some results quick or that momentum will be building to its inevitable conclusion.
It was coming for weeks, as you'll have seen by the abuse I used to get for saying it. There has been nothing positive since his appointment, nothing.

It's finished, and the club are just going to waste a few games, which could prove very important, until they make that inevitable decision.
 
Why did this shit only count for Ange though?

The question is why have they used a photo of that bloke from Twin peaks??
 
Nah, we genuinely would have been in danger of being relegated if we kept Ange this season. You only have to look at his disastrous Forest stint as further proof to that.
You say that, but Frank has been able to mostly call on Ange’s preferred defence. Whilst we lost games for fun last season, injuries, ignorance and prioritising that run in for Europa were mitigating factors.

If Ange had finished 11th and won the Europa he’d probably still be here. He’d be getting a tune out of Johnson at least.

Obviously I’m not advocating for him to come back haha, just saying if mediocre mid table shit without any attempt to challenge or fight is what’s on offer, we should have kept Ange.
