What's happening on the pitch is absolute rubbish. Nothing to analyse. 6 months of no identity and rubbish performances under Frank where its gone from worse to worse.
There is no hate towards you. My bum, admittedly is getting raw from the fence sitting, but, alas, the hopium is pleasant enough. I have nothing to smite you with, other than hope, but we're going to HOPEFULLY do something in this second part of the season to spite you with........
Always says we work hard on it! Not sure what! He then admits we don’t create enough chances! No shit Sherlock! Every man and his dog knows that and it is his job to rectify how max attacking options with players available. He knows Richi can’t trap a bag of cement yet we continue to pump long balls up to him. We then lose the ball and give the oppo easy ball.
What style are we talking about as even with the players we have he has not tried to implement any type of pass and move football.
Sunderland fought tooth and nail v city got a draw. They ran their legs off. Just imagine them doing them same with our cm of bent and Paul. We will get overrun. Just imagine if 7 of our players that Frank has had available this season went to afcon. Everyone here abd Frank would be coming out excuses and more excuses.
Top 8 with the money spent already, feel good factor and confidence boost of winning a trophy, a so called technical and more organised coach should achieve better than that! Otherwise what was the point. Also finish 8 with a few new players in Jan ok but we need to see a real improvement in our play.
We should be using WB abd Scarlett more. Even recall some of the players out on loan just to give us options.
Maybe as we know, our attacking options aren't good enough to pull off what Frank wants so he prioritises defence.
That is what I said from the start. Frank should have used this season to integrate some of our academy players. Include them in match day squads and be brave enough to give them minutes. He has shown no bravery as he sent them all on loan. Further if was to get a free hit this season then he should have been bedding in a football philosophy and style ready for when he gets players back and more new additions. His done of the above apart play it safe trying eke out points to save his job. He talked about taking risks when he started well his taken zilch.
Agreed.
How much we spend is totally irrelevant
Without Tim, there was no Pochettino era. He would have lasted a season tops.
I say that on the basis that Poch relied not only on the players Tim proved were first-team capable, but he also put a few years of hard-graft into their development. I think we were a bit spoilt or blinded then in terms of what he was actually doing for the club.
I'd agree with anyone that calls him a twat, and it's probably what I was doing on here 12 years ago, and it was fully justified because he was saluting adebayor, managing the side from the stands, and generally just being a fucking weirdo whilst acting like the village idiot in from of the microphones.
This must be the cringiest moment
