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.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.
Every manager will fail... its just how quickly. For the record Conte never failed... he was over achieving massively and if backed properly we would have been title challengers for a few seasons.
That was the point ... aiming at Frank is missing the point about where the main problem is.And doesn't make sense anyway, surely the frustration would be at the people who built the team, not the one managing it.
Thats loser mentality...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.
Nah, not having that one bit... we shouldn't be getting beat by fucking Villa at home and fans accepting it as part of some early teething problems.
In the season finishing 5th Romero played 33 games, VdV 27, Udogie 28, Maddison 28, Son 34, Deki 31.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.
If you didn’t beat City, Liverpool, Barca, and PSG, does really count as a trophy??
That’s what I often wonder to myself

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?In the season finishing 5th Romero played 33 games, VdV 27, Udogie 28, Maddison 28, Son 34, Deki 31.
I agree... way too many idiots accepting below mediocrity performances and badging them as "teething issues"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.

We would have a much better chance anyway.What's your point?

You proved your own point
Lose today and I think he'll really be on borrowed time. He hasn't really provided any indication that there's some sort of plan or method.
I was actually worried for them this season though, loosing some big players and the manager - hopefully TF can bring some of the same structure here as its something we have been missing for a while!They’re one of those clubs where it doesn’t matter who the manager is, because they’re so well run behind the scenes. Something we can learn from
