He's not turning this around. That ship has sailed. 3 defeats in a row now and we can't even win in the league at home. Its horrendous. We are going to get absolutely pumped on Tuesday night up in Newcastle. And then the embarrassment of Frank not being able to beat his former club Brentford next saturday.

At what point do you call an end to this? It makes no sense to sack him. Who do we even replace him with? But whats the alternative because a 4 goal defeat on tuesday followed by not being able to beat brentford is surely the end of him? Its already toxic, I can only imagine how toxic it will be this day next week.

I dunno lads. I'm tired. I know its wrong to sack him but this is torture and we all know he can't turn it around, its gone too toxic.
 
I think he’s lost the room. The players came out so flat in the first half, no changes to start the second and they came out uninspired again. Sure, we got a goal out of nothing, but not a lot else to be too excited about.

Overall, this looks like last year, but without the Europa League run. That’s not exactly glowing.
If he'd lost them they would not have responded to his halftime talk/gee-up like they did and play xtimes better in the second half.

Do we even do any thinking as a fanbase anymore???
 
I'm not really putting this on him, unlike last week which absolutely was.

Fulhams goals were an unlucky deflection and whatever the fuck Vicario was thinking. He made the rights subs and for a brief moment looked like it might've changed the game, but we went back to the same old.

It is still mostly the same team that were even worse than this last season.
Its not about which personnel he selects it’s the fact we have no idea how to break teams down. I genuinely don’t know what they’re doing on the training pitch because all we’re doing when we’re in possession is hoofing long balls forward and just hitting as many crosses in as we can, that just isn’t going to cut it at a top club.

It’s on him mate, eventually, all player presentations is down to the manager. If they don’t live up to his game, then he make adjustments. But Porro could continue 90 mins of this shitshow with no concequenses. It’s down to Thomas Frank.

Were we that much better in the second half or did Fulham sit off with a 2 goal lead ? We did exactly the same as the first which was just try get it to Porro to lump a ball into the box. Still created next to nothing

That was a response?! They came out flat and showed almost nothing. It was a nice pass from Bergvall, and nice smash from Kudus, but basically a goal from nothing.

Then Frank makes 3 subs instantly and kills everything we had going (which wasn’t much, to be fair).

I don’t know what was said in the room, but it didn’t seem like the players came out raring to go in the second half.
 
I can only see us getting hammered on Tuesday night. The players won't be up for it at all and Frank will have us parking the bus and hanging on. Once we concede then we'll open up and get romped.

Then onto Brentford. And trust me this game will hurt the most if we don't win. It'll be the irony that Frank's former club brentford have now surpassed Tottenham. It would be the final nail in the coffin.

I can't see how he survives this week now. Its already unbearably toxic. I can't imagine how bad it'll be this time next week.
 
But you cunts will be calling for his head if ain't perfect instantly.

The manager is not the problem, it's cunts on the pitch, Levy's best buys, that are the problem.
No, again. You can't seem to process this very simple information. I don't want/expect perfection. But this is the worst football I've ever seen and it will go absolutely fucking nowhere, as I've been saying for months now.

If you can't accept reality, there's really not much hope for you.

Whoever replaces him is going to get a much better tune out of them. It's the most cowardly football I've ever witnessed, small club mentality he has and even against vastly inferior opponents, like today, the instructions are to roll over. Why is Palinha playing today? No fucking need at all. Guy is so out of his depth it's alarming.

Anyway, it'll be over soon thank God. If the club have changed as they've indicated, they need to act quickly. What player is going to want to come and play in that absolute dross? Not many.
 
Said this in the match thread just after we scored:

“I’d almost wait another couple of minutes before making those subs in case they kill the impetus“

By not doing that he lost the chance to bring those players on when the tempo inevitably slows ten minutes later. It’s those kind of stupid managing decisions that bring in huge doubts about the manager.
 
I don't think it's all on him. Not even close. There's something rotten that's far far deeper and I don't know how it ever gets fixed.. But a point will come when you have to draw a line in the sand and remind everyone that losing every week needs a response. The easiest way to do that is a managers sacking.

On a replacement.. No idea.. If Paratici is heading up a search.. Would he be a fan of Thiago Motta? Italian connection. Was one of the hottest names around before he went to Juventus. Think he speaks English.
