This is the Manager we need...

They can go up & down stairs these days, can't they?
Apparently, Ange Postecoglou's a dalek now.

"EXTERMIMATE!"
 
We’re going to 11th placed Newcastle on Tuesday night and no fucker is giving us a prayer.

That’s how bad things are.

The clubs an absolute fucking state at the moment, we’re booing our own keeper and the manager is sniping at the fans. We can’t buy a home win and to top it off I have to listen to that nasal voiced twat Alan dickhead Smith commentate on our games.

I miss the international breaks
Frank didn't snipe at the fans. He rightly said he didn't like the booing of Vicario.

The fucking snowflake cunts who boo individual players for a mistake then clutch their pearls when a manager rightly says that's not great can fuck the fuck off.

Edit: Especially ginola92 :D

We won the trophy; we were all delighted, almost 300 k turned up to celebrate and acclaim the achievement .

But F-ing hell how does that mitigate the nonsense that happened this evening.

Serious and genuine question.
Only WE turn winning a European trophy into a backwards step!!

Fuck our clubs' total lack of 'getting what it means'...

Frank just gives of PE teacher vibes. I'm 99% sure he walked into the changing room after losing to fucking Fulham saying "nice try lads, we'll get them next time". I don't think that works at a "big" club.

Someone like Conte/Mourinho would have obliterated these dickheads which I think is what this group needs.
Someone like Conte and Mourinho DID obliterate those Dickheads'.... and the club ,whilst they were at it!

Conte's rant was spot on... We all knew it at the time, but didn't want to accept the harsh, obvious truth!

This is the story....

200 %

Why can’t people smell the coffee instead of endlessly sipping on the Kool-aid .

F£&@ing madness .
 
Frank isn't worse than Ange, but that's hardly an achievement. Had really high hopes for him when he came on, simply because he'd give us stability, but he's shown nothing so far, with the exception of the first 3 games (PSG, Burnley, City). As I said, I'd keep him until the summer if it’s certain that Poch will come back. If not, then I'd sack him right away.
How can you say that? With a fit squad, Ange finished 5th. We played outstanding at times. He obviously had limitations and was rightly sacked, but Frank has shown absolutely nothing. The myth we're better at the back is dwindling, we create absolutely nada. This is the worst I've ever seen.

Comparatively to last season, before the squad died, we scored more and conceded less under Ange. Frank has not shown he's a better manager. He up there with Nuno as the worst for me.

We can’t score cause our forwards are impressively bad and we lose games cause our keeper decides to do something that literally my under 15 Div 2 keeper knows never to do. FFS I’m not sure whether our CB or Own Goals by the other team is our top scorer.
Frank is trying to right the wrongs of a decade of getting free download version of transfer periods.
No manager on the planet is going to come in and fix this is 6 months and you know how I know…cause we’ve had the best managers on the planet try and fail and we keep sacking them expecting things to get better. It’s like driving a 1986 pickup truck in an F1 race and thinking “gee maybe if we get a different driver he’ll be able to turn this thing into a contender.”
THis is wild stuff.

How are strikers supposed to score when they never see the fucking ball? Wouldn't matter who we had up top, the game plan is hoof it up and hit it wide for Kudus to try beat his man 50 times and then smash a cross either into the first man, or put for a goal kick.

Yes there are squad issues, but the coaching has been diabolical. Whoever inevitably replaces him in the near future will have them playing better than this bullshit in game 1. We might not win games off the bat, but this coward ball is inexcusable.
 
Instead of having a go at our fans, the prick should have said the players should be embarrassed that they, and our fans have to put up with those fucking opposition chants.
 
Clearly feeling the pressure and getting prickly in his interview. Is the job too big for him?
Genuinely not sure he's up to it...
Attacking football has been woeful. Even with our shite forwards should be showing more.
Defensively too we look a mess.
 
Frank won't survive.

It's not impossible but already highly unlikely.

No sense of harmony,style or belief and by this time next week it night be over.

Just not working out, and we can't have or afford another 5 months of this.
 
Frank has a delicate balance to strike. He is 100% right to defend his players in public, but it is his job to fix the mental errors in private. I'm sure he knows that. He can't let the players feel sorry for themselves. In a perfect world you get fan support no matter what the scoreboard says, but we're not in that world. I think Frank is the right guy for the job and we've got some young players who are going to be really good, but the players should understand they can't go missing for parts of games and expect it not to be noticed.
 
We have two managers in a row who have crazy dog shit tactics.
Ange played a reckless high line - and thought it didn't matter that your attacking players were not good at attacking.

Frank -
Thinks you shouldn't ever shoot from outside the box.
You should only score from set pieces, including a long throws from anywhere.
Or just lumping crosses into the box
No though balls aloud.

Frank is an anti football manager .
He will never be good enough - and should never have been appointed.
 
Grow up.

I want the best for the club but also I am talking about the direction of travel.

I hope Frank can pull it round but not at the expense of the club's season.

Not difficult to comprehend that it's not
working out and defeat to Fulham might just signal that time is running out.

Mate you've spent the last 3 match days playing down expectations to hitherto unknown abyss depths and warning vaguely yet ominously of "agendas" from those who expect victory against the likes of Fulham.

Now you've turned. Like you were always going to. Just own it. Say "I was wrong to smear others as agenda driven malcontents because it was always obvious I would join their ranks the moment it appeared I might be wrong"

Just another sacky sack. Nothing to be ashamed of. You are in the majority after all. It's what we do
 
So if we lose to Nucastle, Brentford and Forest would that make YOU turn ?
It's highly likely and then we play Slavia Prague !

Just like I was with the previous manager (and all managers really) I don't think we should sack the manager unless we are in real threat of relegation and/or the dressing room has been lost.

I did warn all of you that Postecoglou was most likely overachieving with this squad. I'm being proved more right with every match day BUT I still think it's possible Frank can also get something from these rather mediocre players. So unless he loses the dressing room and/or we are in real threat of relegation- no I won't turn.


Edit: btw I don't mind OTHER people turning. They are most likely 💯 correct. It's the hypocrisy I find a bit grating. But that's human I guess

Rich of you say grow up, when you were calling me a shit fan, not 2 weeks ago for wanting him out.
 
The 22 defeats were not acceptable and Ange was sacked for it.

However it's also not acceptable when fans downplay winning that trophy. This is a club that literally wins fuck all and when we finally manage to do it the manager doesn't get the appreciation for taking us to glory in that particular competition

THe 22 defeats last season have got nothing to do with what's happening now. Liverpool won the league last season, spent 440 mill in the summer, and look what's happening to them this season.
Liverpool's season will take a turn just before Christmas, because they are playing us.
