You were a wanker though, so I'm obviously going to give you a hard time. Just a bit of banter my guy.

He was, showed flashes, but has regressed terribly. Still think Frank ball has a lot to do with it. But yes, I was clinging to hope there was still a player there. Alas, I fear it was folly. I'm not going throw a tantrum about him though.

You said that about Bentancur in the summer (after a disastrous season) and doubled down a quarter of the way through this season where you were informing everyone how much more he offers to Palhinha. Frank wasn't even the manager last season and he was still God awful ffs.

At least I have the decency to admit when I'm wrong and not spout utter nonsense.
 
Just sack him.

This is nothing to do with him. It’s about the club and standards they expect. Chavs et al wouldn’t dream of entertaining this sort of football.

No point getting angry with Frank. Club needs to show some bollocks.

in a weird way we might actually do better against the better sides with what we have available. but against these sides we need to force the football, we struggle due to not having any good footballers, you take maddison and even to a lesser extent kulu out, and we are one braindead side. i still think frank is batting well below par with what he has.

todays setup was all wrong yet again. why are we wasting bodys out wide when we dont have any competent wide players? stick 2 up front and pack the midfield out, try something different ffs as this shit is never working with the shit we have, its as simple as that.

I think a lot of that is fair, though I can also understand why he thought our flank play would buzz more after the dortmund performance.

Think most expected that.

Burnley worked hard and blocked deep and mid and pressed effectively at the right times to disrupt our build-up and were hanging on counters to hurt us.

And cunt Dubravka had his usual worldie against us.

Would have liked to see us compact the midfield and flood it and control it more build through it without leaving the gaps we did.

Work the game more.

Anyway, City now the crunch game for him.

Do or die.

He still offers more than Palinha, who is absolutely dreadful. And Bentancur had a few good games towards the end of last season.

I just said I was mistaken sweetheart. Take a seat, breathe in through your nose, hold it for 5 seconds, and out through your mouth. Do that a few times and you'l feel better 🙂
 
Three of our last six were very winnable fixtures. A new manager could’ve got them to settle things down. Now, our next half dozen are a nightmare. New manager or not, we are going to struggle to get anything.

Had our chance to change things and didn’t take it. Now going to reap what we sowed.

He’s already dead
 
That’s one of the worst pieces of game management I’ve ever seen.

For over 15 minutes he watched as the momentum changed. He watched as an encouraged Parker brought on his subs. It was only after the 2nd goal he reacted.

Hes pound for pound, the worst gaffer we’ve ever had in the prem era.
 
"Surely if we don't win the next one, then they've got to do something"

Spurs procede to drop points in the next league game

"Okay.. But seriously now. It's not funny anymore.. The next one's an absolute must win"

"Honestly, I just can't see him surviving unless he beats Plymouth"
 
The players need to hear and see something different by Monday morning.

Frank can't change the narrative and we aren't facing ourselves anytime soon.

It's done surely. It is an experiment that has failed.

It's just tortuous.
