It's simply on Frank to be presiding over better than what we are seeing.

All these narratives about the squad not being great are bullsh!t. Who said we had a great squad? We have the quality if players not to he losing to Fulham and Bournemouth on our home turf. The one thing the squad does lack is a leader or a player who inspires. That is without doubt.

What we are seeing, less against the best teams but more generally will lead us nowhere. After yesterday that is sadky clear.

This is not about blame as opposed to what is the best solution. I think that may be forced on the owners by next weekend, unless Santa delivers an early surprise present to us on Tuesday and Newcastle take pity - no chance in other words.

And then on the weekend the Brentford will want to show Frank they have moved on.

You're still absolving Levy and ENIC of any blame of course?

I’m not having the squad is utter shite either. You look at most teams in the league and ours is better so that argument doesn’t work for me.

We got to a point last season where losing games, an awful lot of them, was just explained away and accepted. Yes we won a trophy but losing was a habit and was becoming expected week in week out so I refuse to buy this winners mentality thing.

Do you think we are getting better or getting worse in recent weeks? Do you think that Frank is making progress with this team? Do you realise that, at the same stage last season, we were in 7th place with 20 points and a goal difference of +14?

Do you think that some people here, to use your words, are now at a point where this season, "...losing games, an awful lot of them...' is "..just explained away and accepted..."? It sure feels that way.

Why you watching his pockets for?

Right is right and wrong is wrong. Is it alright to randomly call a billionaire a "fucking pussy" because of his wealth and nothing else?

It's counter productive to start booing a player after a mistake. You think booing will get him to a good mental state for the rest of the game?

Because some of these people who Frank said are not real fans spend a lot of fucking money to watch their team play football , they have probably had stick all week from the gooners at work after last Sundays display, and I think a lot of the fans have just had enough , personally I wouldn’t boo a player myself however I’m not going to call someone “not a real fan” because they are frustrated with watching us.

Firstly, I didn't boo Vicario, or the team at HT or even at FT; I never (OK hardly ever) do. I was there to the bitter end and just shrugged and walked off as usual this season to start my miserable 90 minute journey home.

But for Frank to call those thousands that did boo Vicario "not real fans" is completely unacceptable; I'm not sure I like it, and I'm sure it didn't help his confidence, but I understand it and believe they had every right to express their dissatisfaction in that way. These would have been mostly season ticket holders, hard working people who turn up week in, week out to support this bunch of over paid and badly coached young millionaires. I'm an ST holder, so yesterday cost me about £260 (two Cat B tickets, F&B, parking, fuel); how people with young families and mortgages can afford to pay that 19 times a season is beyond me.

Yesterday's performance was terrible, but not unexpected (in fact it's exactly what I expected), and Vicario's cock-up was the straw that broke the camel's back. It could have been anyone, but it was him. If he or Frank don't like it, then tough.

For me yesterday was the turning point. I think he's lost the players and now he's thrown thousands of fans under the bus. And to think I'll be back there on Saturday. It's madness.

Out. Now.

No, I see no progress this season. No I don't think Frank is working as well as I hoped or expected.

But that's irrelevant when talking about Anges winners mentality

The definition of a fan is fanatic
The definition of a supporter is to support

You're not doing any of these by singling out a player for a mistake so by definition Frank is 100% correct and well within his right to call it out.

It really isn't. Ange set his teams up, badly most of the time, to win. We won the Europa. Frank sets his teams up, badly most of the time, to try not to lose.

I respect your opinion. I just don't share it.

I read somewhere that Frank was allowed to bring a shitload of his backroom staff with him.
Another pathetic decision that just makes the inevitable more complicated and more costly.

And now Brentford look a lot better , I was told and led to believe the only reason they stayed in the league for so long was all down to Frank …… starting to think I was sold a lie

Nuno is a good coach. Got treated like shit by the fans here because of the way he played so got no time. To some it's crazy as I thought it was to carry on supporting the previous manager. Imo the squad needs ripping up and starting again.

Anyone else struggling to understand what Nuno Espirito do Santo has to do with Ice Cube? :D
