Playing Spence behind Simons or Johnson makes building up on the left effectively impossible
I suspect he will come in shortly. Harsh on Spence and hopefully he acts the right way but we need someone with a left peg on that side.
Suspect Spence may start over Porro this week to lock down Mitoma
Might not be a bad idea at all. Porro will play though I suspect.
Again emphasises he's focused on building our structure and solidity, defensively, and will continue to build up the offensive layers on top of that and alluded to getting rid of players/bringing in players to achieve that more effectively, as we go.
We're in good hands, folks.
Just let him work.

Then I must be another one ignoring it...

As long as we see improvement over time, I can't see any way anyone can not be down with it .
Considering how badly we deteriorated previously, the only way is up.
Porros been ok recently but when asked to defend, he's not great and since kud's been playing wide right his role effectively has reduced dramatically.. looking bac at the games we've been pushed.. a lot of the problems have stemmed from wide men exposing porro. Aka Bournemouth.. and thank the fuc in the final utd choose to play mount on that left.... I'm absolutely convinced if they'de played garnacho wide left from the get go.dont think we'd be celebrating winning a trophy.. again I'm sure Frank's aware of the porro situ.. he realised the prob changed things around against Bournemouth.. personally think it's just a matter of time b4 porros benched and ultimately sold.
Those 2 finishes against Burnley weren’t technical?
When I saw the team sheets I breathed a massive sigh of relief. Amorim brought him on far too late. He's a pacy winger who can cross off both feet, shoot off both. Scored a belter at BFC just a week or 2 earlier. Huge mistake not to use him. Almost scored too, forced a good save from Vic
Just shows what an absolute chancer that fat Aussie was / is tbh
One good result doesnt suggest anything.
We got spanked 3-0 by them less than a month earlier.
Nobody was looking at those first 6 months under Poch and predicting we would be in a title race or would reach a CL final playing the best football weve seen since the 80s (?).
I would agree that the squad is better than the what looked at the time like a total mess Poch inherited however I would also argue the premier league is harder in terms of the amount of decent sides now in it. Frank’s job in my view is about as difficult as Poch’s if we are talking about the goal of being regular top 4 again.
Are you saying five competitive matches is enough time for a new manager with new ideas to come in and implement their ideas? Five matches in which we've failed to score in only one, and won four of?
We would have 10 managers a season with this thinking.
No... where did I say that. I was asking how much time does a manager need before we can ask questions?
How long is a piece of string? That would depend on many factors.
