Look at all the cockroachs crawling from under the wood work...

Emotionally broken men, acting like children.

Shit performance, poor setup by Frank, but being honest, we have so much shit in our squad, it wouldn't really matter how we setup.

But yeah, you kids enjoy throwing ya teddies out the pram

Here’s the biggest ironic cunt in the fanbase right on time.
 
The Paratici of it all is interesting. We'll find out soon enough if he's the biggest football voice in the new set up. He wasn't officially involved in the summer when Frank was appointed and the the whispers around Nuno's sacking was that he was the one who left his seat angrily 4 years ago and orchestrated the machinations that got him sacked and replaced. I can see him repeating that and pushing for his favoured man, whoever that is.

But, I don't think it matters too much. I always used to think that the right manager can turn a club around. The way Poch did with us. The way Klopp did with Liverpool. The way Glasner's done with Palace.. But I now think that that's pie in the sky. This manager has less attacking firepower than he had at BRENTFORD.. Fucking Brentfotd... And when we play teams like Chelsea and this lot, and we're bringing midfielders that we've either loaned or spent relative pittance on, to compete against midfielders that cost 100 million. It's not a fair fight for any manager.

Yeah, like I said in the match thread, Sunderland would probably trade their entire squad for ours bar the former scum Xhaka. Amazing that you could degrade our entire squad for a single clueless manager.
 
I ask this.

Were Liverpool right or wrong to get Slot, and do you blame the owners for spending 400 plus million or is the manager suddenly out of his depth?

All the evidence before today's game indicated one outcome.

And here we have it.

It's life. It ain't a good feeling,but if you have perspective and context it is far far easier.
 
I’m all for giving managers time and not really one for calling them out, but he’s not the right one for this club. I just can’t ever see it working.

The performances at home have been more telling. Today isn’t hindsight, said at the start it’s alright going defensive but you need a way of playing out you have to a threat. Just aimless long balls into isolated players isn’t good enough. We just don’t take any risks on the ball at all. No bringing it down, taking an extra touch, clever little passes through the lines no third man runs. Just panicked hacking away or percentage balls.

I want to agree but I’m too disappointed and angry

I honestly cannot work out how we keep swinging from one managerial style to another. We went from Poch to Mourinho, then Nuno and Conte, followed by Ange and now Frank. It feels like there is no long term direction at all. Is it such a tall ask to find a manager that likes free flowing football but has tactical ability to know how to get a team to defend.
