I didn't watch the game but I have it on now. I saw the goals, diabolical. Our stats are all record breakingly bad. xG is appalling.

I said tonight was huge for Frank after the truly insulting derby defeats against the two scums, but to then lose again to Fulham who haven't won away all season. I am pretty sure we did this last season too to a team, who won their first away game of the season against us. There is no doubt the team mentality is absolutely fucking pathetic.

But Frank has to go.

Frank was always a gamble. None of us wanted him as top choice. What he did at Brentford was good but not outstanding. He's out of his depth at a club of our size.

The constant chopping and changing of the team is a really bad sign, but more importantly, the football is so so so bad. As bad as I have ever seen it.

And the biggest red flag of all, is the players don't look to be playing for him. They aren't giving their all. Yes we have some really poor quality in our squad, and big issues for sure. But a manager cannot survive this. He simply isn't getting anything out of this squad. The players are shite but not this shite.

For me we need a clear out of the squad, but Frank needs to go and Lange with him.

I get changing managers is not good, but this isn't the man to get behind. At all.

Keeping him risks us going down.


He's been a total fuck up of an appointment.

Now we will see what the new Lewis children are like. Will they pretend Frank wasn't their man, claim he was Levy's hire, and fire him? They could easily try to make out he was Levy's hire (although Vinai is on video as saying he was their pick).

Or do they stick by him? Feasibly it can't go on much longer.

I think he'll be gone in weeks, definitely by Xmas.

I think he'll be gone before we play Liverpool at home.

Brentford are better than Fulham, they'll cause us big problems. Wouldn't be surprised if that's the end of him.

Yep. I think he's already gone, just a matter of time. The Lewis's asses will be flapping like a popped balloon in a hurricane.

The reality is we will get thrashed on Tuesday at Newcastle, and as the football gods like to have it, Brentford, his old club, will do us at home next weekend and that will be that.

Yeah. Have said before the PSG game if he couldn't get anything from today's game, and Newcastle game likely being a free hit now, the Brentford game will be his final game if he was even beaten by his former club. Will highlight his total incompetency.
 
Even if we had the worse set of players in the league (which we don't)
The shape and the patterns of play should be better than this. Doesn't look like there's any coaching going on at all
We're conceding tons of goals, fulham could've beaten us by 4 just like Woolwich and we came away as we often do with 3 shots on target or less and a super low xg

Think he's well out of his depth, guess he'll get the season to learn on the job :frankfacepalm:

And even the Newcastle game, I don't see it as a free hit per se even though we're notoriously shit up there.

It'll be another defeat to add to the growing list which becomes harder and harder to ignore.

I'm just sick of us being shit and even though it's not all Frank's fault he should be getting more from this squad.

It's the performances, they're dull as dishwater and that's largely on him
 
Brentford were never completely defensively adept, but they always generated chances, knew the roles and structure of their tactics and how to pass out of press but suddenly when Frank coaches Spurs, the players become unable to execute them and commit mistakes after mistake.
Something isnt right. Maybe Frank is out of his depth, but a lot of our issues stems from previous seasons including our home form and poor recruitment.

Ange was winning when it mattered. It's that simple. Ange had the players fighting despite the circumstances. Starting to think you don't actually watch the games and just come here after checking the results?

Was he? He totally went against his much vaunted principles to dour a trophy as welcomed as it was and he started this mentality of not giving a fuck about the league which has continued into this season. Wasnt winning games in tge league last year was he.
Its all been shit for years so lets not pretend and make believe
 
Headline on the official website

"We need to keep working" .Frank reflects on Fulham loss

So what, you may wonder.
Well, for the first time, there referring to him by his surname. It's been Thomas this or Thomas that....now he's just Frank

I'm going for 11am on Monday

I find him so uninspiring - his coaching, his mannerisms, his pressers. He's so tough to watch at his pressers, with his pauses and ahs and errms. I don't know how people find he talks well. I think players will be really bored training with him. Only his hair is his greatest style.
 
I genuinely thought we would be a lot better, especially at home.

All I care about is THFC, but on thoughts Frank will be gone, I am not so sure.

Frank came with his whole backroom stuff, and that would cost ENIC a huge amount.

It's definitely a poor return on our Frank investment to date.

I guess none of those 22 league losses last year mattered then.

We're in the champions league this year and have a trophy to our name?

22 loses playing one the youngest starting 11 in the premier league with under 18s on the bench?

Unable to even rotate due to injuries... the likes of Gray and Davies playing huge stretches at CB?

Sounds like more proof of you not watching games again, or being able to understand the situation we were facing at the time. Ange made it very clear the league was being sacrificed for the Europa league and it ended up being the right call. Only numpties like you who can't handle it point to the negative of that approach.
