The players we had downed tools for Poch though.
What's funny is that statistically l, we are playing like a team that are in a relegation fight, yet you jump through hoops to tell everyone what an idiot they are for not seeing, well, I don't even know what is we're supposed to be seeing.
We give up more chances and score less goals than Ange, which is a really big achievement, given we defended with one man then. The only reason we're in our fake league position is sheer blind luck.
This is abysmal, and you going and telling everyone their stupid, is such a bad look on you. To Dare is to try not to lose, I guess. And even do that badly.
We're the club where players have the most power. It's absolutely ridiculous, especially when you factor in what they deliver on the pitch.
Can we not just hire Roy Keane, Cantona, big Duncan Ferguson & Vinnie Jones to come have a chat with them behind closed doors?...
That goes for fans of every club now to be fair. Most of our results have been blind luck. This isn't even defensive football, we're conceding as many chances, if not more than we were under Ange, which is a puzzling achievement. There is literally nothing to be happy about what we're seeing.
Dunno, me and these guys were pretty happy about it:

Maybe we should take all of our European trophies out of the cabinet because they are "Palace level"?
Funnily enough the Villa game was our best defensive display by a considerable margin and is the template of how I hoped - and continue to hope - Frank would set us up: incredibly compact, solid and providing a platform for the rest of the team to go and win it. Which we should have.

What a wild thing to have to defend. I bet he didn't sit in his room alone, huffing we won. Some serious revisionism right there. Was my best day as Spurs supporter, hands fucking down.
Pal, with all due respect, we've been plenty patient. Been rebuilding since Poch departed. And it's a bit of a pisstake to ask fans for more patience when they pay the highest ticket prices in world football. And see clubs with less means outperform us. Or how our main rivals have bounced back when we were light-years ahead of them for many a season.
Absolutely bang on.
Also been in the stadium nearly 10 years now and have we bought a player in his peak with world class capabilities and no noy richarlison and solanke
Richarlison and Solanke were in their pea...
Oh. Never mind...
That's when you need a proper captain to sort them right out. But Romero is too focused on Argie duty and prepping for his move to Spain next summer.
Laura Pausini?
She gotta be like 86yo nowadays.
I still would, mind you.

Yeah of course they were .. because we were on a serious dry spell. It’s like when you’ve not got any for a while and pull a fat bird mate. You don’t then go around to your mates bragging about pulling a worldie if they’ve seen her in person.
The EL was a great little win to get over the trophy hump, but glorious is the stretchiest of stretches.
Liverpool have lost one more PL game than us, but spent 446 million this Summer.
Their signings included a British-record £125 million deal for Alexander Isak and a £116 million deal for Florian Wirtz. This was a record-breaking spend for the club.
Perhaps we are not spending enough.
I think Frank experiment is very evidently already a failed one. Inflated league position won't look as good once we've played everyone once.
If there was even a semblance of a plan, I'd be fine with it. Just a little glint of seeing anything progressive. But after 6 months, £200m in players brought in, we're playing like a bottom 4/5 side, and it doesn't look like anything is improving. We're giving up a huge amount of chances and creating very little. Lining up the same way, every single game, poor performance after poor performance. We were told Frank improves players, especially the attacking ones. Nearly everyone has regressed.
A decision needs to be made before the season isn't salvageable.
Did the same with Conte for me, though I know he's not a popular figure around our ground I think he would have won things for us with the right chairman
