hahaha yeah i'm deleting that jesus what was i thinking! Sunday hangover has me an emotional mess
 
Nice one. Sometimes I think fans are in this weird prism of thinking we should be winning every game. Despite it probably being 75% the manager’s fault, you don’t take a group of players that finished 17th with 22 defeats and have them top 4 in one season. Every smart pundit said it in the summer. Of course the group of players under achieved massively last season but it is still the same group of players. It’s why I said I expected us to finish 8th this season with the ceiling being the Europa League place if we performed above expectations. Before we made any significant transfers I think I may have even said I could see us finishing as low as 12th but I think 5th to 8th is more realistic. And that is if we get some key inured players back.
That same group of players went from 5th to 17th why cant they be 5th again? Works both ways unless you are making excuses for Frank to have a shit season.
 
It’s exhausting. I get that every manager is going to be divisive, and you’re always going to get sections of fans who don’t want a particular manager, but it feels like some fans are more hellbent on hoping that a manager fails rather than wanting the team to do well.

Modern football fandom doesn’t help either. People need to realise that you’re not going to win every game and you’ll have ups and downs throughout a season.
Thats loser mentality...
 
If you didn’t beat City, Liverpool, Barca, and PSG, does really count as a trophy??

That’s what I often wonder to myself

You are like the Socrates of the board.

Which gives us the age old question….

Is it pronounced SoCrates?
Or Sock raah tees?
Maybe it was So Crah tez?

We weren’t there. How could we ever know??? Gives me sleepless nights that one.

Don’t even start me on Ulysses!!!
 
I've been told Frank makes players better. He's been here five months and I can't think of one player in our squad that has got better. I can name several who look far worse.

Yeah it’s definitely that. There is a lack of critical thinking even when facts are put in front of people to change their minds. It’s one of modern society’s greatest problems. Too many idiots. Before social media they didn’t have a voice. Much better times.
 
In the season finishing 5th Romero played 33 games, VdV 27, Udogie 28, Maddison 28, Son 34, Deki 31.
What's your point? If we get 33 games out of Romero, 27 out of VDV, 28 out of Udogie/Spence as I think Spence is better, 28 outbof Xavi who is on a par if not better than Madders, 31 out of Kudus whomis better than Deki and 25-30 out of RKM then we can finish 5th?

I agree... way too many idiots accepting below mediocrity performances and badging them as "teething issues"

We would have a much better chance anyway.
If we had all our best players available he can decide on the best team and play it together regularly and also bring in the younger lads in a more helpful way.
I think he has a really tough job trying to navigate through our fixture list without key players.
