He will turn it around. I have faith in him.

Their opinions about anything related to the club change from match to match. One of the most reactionary groups of supporters I've ever seen.
Feels like we get a different team every 3 games ...
Nice to see his mum joining the forum.
A big TFC welcome to you Mrs Frank. You raised a lovely boy.
We only won one of our first 4 games.
We threw a few batterings in between plenty of dire results. 1-1 away to Leicester, lost to Newcastle and Arse without ever threatening them, lost to Brighton, Palace and Ipswich.
All by game week 11.
We just continued the useless fcuking shite we'd rolled out since Christmas 2023.
Found out at PL level absolutely ages before then.
The occasional whooping of teams really did nothing to hide it IMO. There were just some, select teams/games where the 1 game plan we had, worked.
I am firmly in the out camp so I know I am biased but all of his press conferences are just so uninspiring and small time. He hasn't got aura and force of personality to manage a top 8 team.
He's Brentfords version of Graham Potter, will do well in one of those brilliantly run clubs that have lower expectations but take them outside of that and all their faults are magnified.

I kind of agree except, if he sees Vicario as his number one by a distance he has to back him publicly. Even if is doesn’t fully believe it. Damned if you do, damned if you dont
Theres always the context point, quotes from pressers are often very different in context to the sounbites...
That said, on tbe face of it - looks like thepressure is getting to him imo, not a good look when the managers starts on last season results...
From memory of seeing Poch’s, it looked like Ange’s 23/24 but obviously for a longer period until things tailed off in his last season.
I’m not really a XG person but I like looking at the long term evidence as you can see the precise moments it went wrong in all examples. For Poch it changed the day v Burnley away when we lost and Mike Dean said something to wind him up.
A large percentage of our fans revel in the negativity. They love it. It’s like those that get excited about a funeral.
That comment feels similar to the comment about "who is Eze?" or however it was worded. In the sense that it could only really backfire.
Negativity bias
Changed way before that in that season, we were losing the xg battle all season, even the matches we were winning earlier in the season and if you recall we were scraping results and being bailed out by individual brilliance, our performers got worse and worse as our players got tired and suffered burn out.
I think at one stage we were 2 3 plint behind Liverpool in Feb but our xg had us firmly mid table.
We got slapped in all the games bar one last year, but scored a few goals.This has got a tonking without any goals for us written all over it. Then he will look an even bigger prick.
He's still here then?
I'm sorry there's never enough context to explain this away. It normalised losing and I hate the repeated attempts to explain this away.
It was disgusting.
They don't usually get it wrong.
