I disagree. I find this whole rebuild/project talk completely unacceptable. But even if we are giving another manager 12 months grace, we should not be getting battered by Bournemouth in our own back yard. Anyone who accepts that as "a blip" or "Frank needs time" should have a long look at themselves in the mirror. It's inexcusable whether you have been here 3 years or 3 months to turn in that performance. Yes, we will lose games, no problem, but to lose in that manner is a problem. We are not an experiment for a manager to try a few things. He should have a clear plan and on Saturday he didn't. He couldn't even motivate them to push themselves to be competitive. Vast improvements needed and quickly.

It is partly on Frank, no question. But also they have had two years of bad habits. That doesn't completely disappear overnight.

Ah come on his defensive frailty has been mentioned on here for an age ...Its not just on that one performance.. psg pushed wide and pushed him back and the rest was history... He's fine going forward .. but keep wide and push him back and he's more than limited . He's a fucking liability.. we've got more than enough wide right players to cover what we're losing with his occasional decent delivery. Bench Time for him, and besides that Spence more than deserves a run on his favoured side

Definitely weaker defensively than anyone else in the squad but this is what you're gonna get with Porro, going forward he's excellent and if you remove his attacking ability from the team then it takes away a weapon from the team.

It's the Trent conundrum.

I think rather than dropping him from the squad entirely we should pick and choose when he plays, I think Spence would have been better off against Semenyo but Udogie just came back to full fitness so I can see why he went with those full backs.

Yeah, time for an ignore finally here, man.

You seem like a nice enough guy, but you need to vary up some of your content - it's beyond boring!

I am not saying it is all on Frank but lets not pretend these players are hopeless. They just won the Europa League. Lifting silverware is not a bad habit. In fact, it should have gone some way to changing the Conte narrative about us being a team who doesn't play for anything. Competing for silverware should be something we aspire to do EVERY season. Even with a first year manager.

I agree. With that said, there was nothing there on Saturday that wasn't there last season, including in some EL games. There are some bad habits that it's Frank's job to extirpate
 


He has done a great job so far. 2 wins out of 3 with THFC near the top of the table.

Looks like he is very confident he will get the club to play better defensively. Like he has great comfort with the defensive side of things. That's good.
