Re "sold out matches" the drop off is due to Son leaving.

Maybe. But tbh I watched one game this season on the tv. Bored out of my mind.

Was tempted to pick up tickets to a CL game. But would be a £250 night out and I think I would be bored shitless by the football.

Didn’t watch last night. My mate did was keeping me informed.
“Bodo should be 3 or 4 up by now. It’s awful”
“All done. A guess a point is ok. Painful to watch though.“
“Just shit football”.

Fair reflection of the game??

Personally I think the stadium would be full if we had Bale / Kane / Alli type players who excite you and you know can produce something special. Just don’t feel that with this squad at all.

I think the Sonny effect on bums on seats and merch was pretty well known and measured by THFC.

Tottenham need to lower their prices. Villareal was a Cat A match wasn't it? We're still pulling 60k for league games with the most expensive seats in the league ...

This is the issue, we have a massively impatient fan base.

A large portion expect everything to rosy immediately, winning every match and smashing teams with ease. Couple of poor performances and they want a change in management and start comparing Frank to Ange, Conte and others. It's embarrassing at times.

We wouldn't have come back against Brighton, Wolves or Bodo in the past. Poor performances, yes, but at least there is character being shown and Frank doesn't sugarcoat it in post match interviews. He's honest about it.

We have to get a top striker and LW over the next two windows.

Agreed. And we ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO stop signing £40m "prospects"

Kudus is maybe the only one in the squad who you'd call an "exciting" player? Odobert has that potential I guess.
 
To be fair to Tommy Tank, we NEED to sign an out and out left winger, and a proper striker. There is only so much improvement we can do attacking-wise, until that happens.

sorry this is more bulshit

Nuno had 4 defeats conceding 3 goals.

And no clean sheets last 7 games, conceding over 2 a game.

I get that you hate that Frank is here, but that is NOT what is happening here.

Also Nuno took over a team that wasn't great, but it finished 7th. Now tell me where CLownshoes finished.

It's absolutely NOT the same thing.

He just hides in midfield aswell. Never open to receive a pass under pressure

We should give him a one year extension max to protect the club's financial interest.

And then do a monster upgrade to an elite 8 next summer.

Elite 8
Elite LW
Elite CF

All that said, as you saw with Liverpool last night, there are no guarantees even with cash spent. And it takes time to gel a team together

It's all good saying that but the reality is that we're not attracting, nor paying the wages of any elite players.

They arent impatient in my opinion.

Don't do it mate. Had you on "Frank out" for no earlier than November. :D

Don't see how that's Frank out tbh just stating what I think will happen, he's still got plenty of time and it's been a decent start, some positive signs and some worrying but it's early days.

However I maintain if he gives Johnson meaningful minutes it will cost us and him.
