Frank just said it's worth remembering we finished 17th last season. Does he really think its ok to finish 13th/14th... for that alone he needs to be sacked.

Thats like robot Reeves continually going on about inheriting a 20 billion black hole

Lame excuses

Finishing 17th last season has fuck all to do with now sending out teams to defend first and attack never
 
To be fair to TF he is working with some dross , there are players that have been bought with an eye to a profit (Levy) who simply aren't good enough and IMO never will be .
If we want to truly compete we need to start bringing in players that are game ready , i.e. Maddison , Kudus .
Otherwise we will perpetually be what we are .
This is all on Enic to fix if they have the will and intent , January will tell us .
A striker and LW is bare minimum .

Can I ask how much of Brentford you watched, like full games?

Tbh the two games against us they were quite poor and their football was was not the type you want to be watching long term

Yeah, I can’t find exact numbers but an AI search says they played the 4th most long balls last season and were one of the most accurate with those long balls (Mbuemo).

They were not a silky team. They relied on in form wingers finishing their chances.

We need a midfielder that can play football more than anything I think. Our squad has gotten filled with such shite over the past 3/4. years

I was one who thought Conte was a breath a fresh air, with his tirade about the club. But it eventually collapsed and I agree, he was never a long term fix.

Re: Omitting Palhinha and Kudus. Well, we haven’t bought Palhinha yet and to rope Kudus in, it hasn’t been long enough for me to judge those signings/loans as a hit or miss on PL proven. So far, I do agree they’ve been some of our better performers. However, Bissouma looked great in small spurts and has been a bust overall. Same with the others I mentioned aside from Maddison.

Agree, tough I think Solanke was very good last season. Unfortunately the way we played didn't favour the striker to score lots of goals, but he was always present, doing a lot of things non stop during the matches and even his numbers aren't that bad if you look at it.

Mourinho played to our strength with counter attacking football at its best, knowing he had Kane and Son and then Bale, despite being boring. Given more transfer windows, I would trust him more than Frank ever would to get us players to play title-winning games.

Yeah, and our defense was a lot weaker that time, didn't favour any of Mourinho or Conte, but they got better results overall than Ange or Frank.
 
Hindsight is great but why not 4-5-1 today crowd midfield dont let them pass through. 2 runners beside paulinho and wingers to get upto front man.
They had the run of midfield all game as do most teams against us.
But no formation can make up for lack of effort or guts

The way we set up today made it very hard , Kudus looked like he was playing in the middle which made it easier for Arse as they didn't have to worry about his wide threat , and he didn't look comfortable in the middle .
I think TF will see where it went wrong with his changes , which made us weaker .
I think we might have been better to start with either Bergvall or Sarr which would have given us more legs in the middle .
Not saying that would've been perfect but would have given us more outlets .

I don’t like Frank’s football. It’s stale and ineffective. He set us up to draw and we still ended up conceding 4.

That’s the biggest concern for me. The fact that he can’t even execute that game plan with players like Romero/VDV/Bentancur/Paulinha in the side.

We sacrifice creativity for solidity and concede 4 fucking goals.

A separate issue is that any manager that has to start Richarlison and Odobert is fucked before the game even starts.

An undercooked squad is the fault of the owners. Poor coaching and tactics is the fault of the manager. Lack of heart, effort and energy is the fault of the players. Across the board, we’re atrocious.

you might be right, but we've been at our best with a Jol , Poch, Redknapp

the "big" manager didn't do as well in Jose or Conte and both treated the club as a job and never fell for us .

Iraola type fits, young progressive and most importantly attacking *while being tactically aware

I really don’t think we could sustain his style of football and juggle European football too.

It would likely be another huge injury pile up.
