I really think journalists should ask him about his comments around the time of being appointed, saying the following;

“I know the ethos and the history of the club is massive on attacking football, and there is so much attacking talent in the squad," said Frank. "I’m very, very big on principles and what we do in the final third in terms of creating chances.

“I always say this one-liner: if you don’t take risks, you also take risks. So it’s important we take risks. Risk is you need to play forward.

"If you don’t risk the ball, you can’t create things. We need to be brave."

He's clearly not doing it.

Why not? The last manager is no barometer... the club is a top five club... the previous manager got sacked because he didn't get us there... this manager should be sacked the minute it is clear we are not getting there... that minute was about 6:15ish pm yesterday.

We was a top 4 champions league club consistently for about 4 years under poch before that we was an average of about 6th 7th regularly playing europa league. We're only in the champions league this season because we fluked Europa last year. It's currently a top 10 squad at best with what's available possibly top 6 with the others back. We are where this squad should be based on quality although some of the football has been dire.

Then we disagree. This squad is way better than top ten.

So once again the players are dictating things at the club and appear to have downed tools on yet another manager.

And for some on here that is somehow acceptable conduct for a professional athlete.

Not acceptable conduct but I trust people who have played the game over those who haven't. If the players think the manager is a cunt there is only going to be one outcome... and in this case, for this club... it is the right outcome.

Yeah I've no issues with us keeping Frank and finally doing the painful rebuild.

I do have a problem with him being way too defensive and he needs to show us something. We can't just be talking about other managers and giving him a total free roll like your suggesting. We need to see 20 shots on the Fulham goal on Saturday night. He needs to show us he can attack

What we have lost so far this season:

Son 11 goals + 9 assists
Solanke 16 goals + 3 assists
Maddison 12 goals + 7 assists
Kulusevski 10 goals + 4 assists

But our fans still think we should be scoring for fun with Kudus (never a prolific goalscorer) Richarlison (give me strength) Odobert and Tel (two twenty year old's) Johnson a very hot and cold player, and Muani who hasn't played or has been injured.

But let's just fire the manager and get some magician in who will turn those aforementioned players into Mbappe overnight.
 
He needs to drop Bentancur and play one of Bergvall/Sarr. Not just for one game but that needs to be something he sticks with.

Bentancurs good press and interceptions are not worth the 89 other minutes of nothingness.

there's so much wrong with us atm. it's just an utter mess of a club. i do think the players have too much power and have for a long time. that comes from their willingness to sign for us (at bargain wages) when so many others won't. i think this is why we do better with 'daddy' coaches as opposed to ipad coaches like frank. frank could earn their respect with successful tactics but so far he hasn't.
 
Don Pedro said:
Nope. He didn't even start Simons so what makes you think he'd have started Maddison or Kulu. Kudus played btw and was just shit in this system

I don't even know why I am replying to your comments to me, but to suggest that Frank wouldn't have started a fit Maddison or Kulu just about sums up your footballing intelligence.

Kudus had just come back from a knock, and wasn't even on the bench for the United game.

It’s a valid point, but we knew two of those were fucked before a ball was kicked this season and knew that Solanke was questionable.

It’s a disgrace not replacing Son, it’s a disgrace not being prepared for the season.

But it’s also a disgrace setting out the way we are and having no fight.

He’s also failing to get a tune out of Johnson, arguably the one thing that Ange managed to do well.
