Warning sign for me was bayern in pre-season then Bournemouth at home. That was over 6 months ago.

I’m no genius, but it was fairly obvious to me it would be a car crash.

Signing Palhinha was strike 1.

Bournemouth at home was strike 2

Chelsea at home was what made me think it would be a god awful season
 
Of course injuries play a large part this.

But a team of prime Barca players who were not coached properly on working on movement off the ball, and stood like statues waiting for a pass to their feet rather than find space, they would look like relegation fodder.

So many problems elsewhere as well, but Frank has to carry the can for this.
 

He played that card early on in his time here and it was a tone setter.

Yes. We finished around these places last year.. And that was rightly considered so awful, unacceptable and unforgiveable that the manager who won a major European trophy got the sack.

If being in these sort of places wasn't something that was considered unforgiveable, Frank would never have been given this job, so he cannot use it as some kind of bar that he only just needs to match.
 
I had high hopes when Frank was appointed. I imagine he did too. I feel sorry for the bloke. It's all gone completely titsup and it doesn't seem to be retrievable.

Unfortunately and tragically, our club's rotten at the core. We need to be bought out by an entity with money to burn - changing the manager may help, marginally, but only for a short time - or it may not help at all.

There's going to be more pain.
 

He looks like a broken man.

And he done it to himself. How the fuck can you set a team up with a player who has been shit at LB (Djed) all season. And leaves out Souza who had a promising game against ManU... Coz of this he plays Gray as RB, like FFS!

Plays Gallagher on the right, when we could have had Gray and Gallagher in the middle, of a 4-2-3-1, with Tel, Xavi, Odobert, Solanke up front.

Its not rocket science to put a balanced side out with attacking intent, despite our injuries. Absolutely fecking clueless, as stubborn and incompetent as Ange.

Levy has fucked this club, from the point of not backing Poch for three windows, he fucked it... The bald fucking clown...

And keep in mind that we would've been in a relegation battle last year had the three promoted teams all not been historically bad. This season is what happens when one or two of them are actually competent.
 
There’s no longer any downside in replacing him. There is only the same or an improvement.

No excuse for him to still be in position on the morning. It doesn’t matter who you bring in. It can’t be worse.

Please for everyone’s sake Vinai, do the decent thing. Put the poor soul out of his misery.
 
If you lot actually watched the game and not just the scoreline, you’d see Thomas absolutely schooled Howe tonight. Newcastle’s goals were total flukes, whereas our tactical structure was elite for 90 minutes. It’s hard to execute world-class football when we’ve still got half the first team like Maddison and Porro out.
Theres no need to panic over a 2-1 blip. We have to stick with Thomas because he's quite simply the best manager out there and a world-class master tactician. Remember, we’re still in the Champions League Last 16 above PSG and Real. Once the injuries clear, that top four spot is a guarantee. The "Frank Out" brigade are just showing their lack of football knowledge; we have a genius in the dugout.
 
It's criminal to let this useless cunt lose game after game and pretend that it's somehow going to end up OK.

Will someone at the club suddenly wake up to the situation when it's pointed out to them that we need to get 5 points from our last game to stay up ?
