ROTG Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 1 hour ago, Ham said: That's disappointing as we were the better team and got done twice from deflected saves. Mudryk and Palmer were mostly decent. Disasi and Badiashile dealt with everything but again, we were unlucky with where those deflections ended up. I was more pissed off last week because we lost every 50-50. Better this week. Keep the faith Ham, only another 4-6 games before the game changers are available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Fowler Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 At some point playing a bit better isn’t the point. We’re winning less than under Potter - Poch now has the worst PL record of any of our managers in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d like to think the Board have learned that the one area you can’t skimp on is the central striker position. Problem is which top class striker is going to want to come here with no CL qualification again? That’s why it was bloody daft to risk everything on Jackson and Broja. That preseason false dawn really screwed us over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RDCW Posted December 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, Alex said: Really you too Mr Williams, you're also of the #PochOut opinion?! I have admittedly turned over to La Rochelle Leinster after we went a goal behind. Yes, sadly Pochettino seems unable to get a tune out of this group of players and indeed appears to be presiding over a process of continuous decline. He has made our good players worse and is self evidently incapable of motivating the squad to produce a coherent performance. Whilst many of them are green none of them are bad players; it does seem as though they either can't comprehend his instructions, won't carry them out, or that they aren't the right instructions to make the players an effective unit. Obviously it is not all his fault, but we will not improve under him. For what it's worth I would sack the football board : their squandering of Clearlake's money is an outrage. Boehly and Eghbali of course have to go. The prospect of relegation is very real. Edited December 10, 2023 by RDCW 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's so bad at every facet of coaching anyone and I mean anyone would be an upgrade. I cannot think of one area where we have improved, the defence doesn't defend better the midfield are clueless and the attack can't score or make goals. There isn't a "big name" manager who'd touch us after this horror of a season and I honestly expect this clown to push us hard towards relegation. I don't think we'll go down because there are a few sides who are currently in a worse position although that can change. We don't need a rocket scientist who wants to redesign the wheel we need someone who can coach footballers into a philosophy that they believe in. In a "getable" market I think the Fulham manager would improve us and has an idea in his head of how to coach a side although you could really pick a name out of a hat and come up a winner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShedMiddle Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Thought we looked better today and should be winning. People talk about a striker but, it's not just a striker it's creators. We don't have any apart from Palmer. Mudryk, I thought would be a player to put the team on the back foot. However, he's our biggest weakness on the counter because the other team target him to turn the ball over. Think I've finally lost faith. I was actually amazed when he managed to pull the ball back twice today rather than running it off or giving it to them. Another thing that annoys me are the petulant tackles we make in the opposition half when there is no need. Stops all momentum, but, we do it over and over again. Positives today.. Badiashille - has always looked good to be fair. The other positive is that we actually tried to win the ball back after losing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudryk looks poor because whenever he plays he's got no support overlapping or overloading the defence, he has to do it on his own. No other manager would use him like this he literally been thrown to the wolves by a coward. Not saying Mudryk is the answer or a wonderful player but he's been set up for a fall. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh. Opposing teams know the trick is to score against us first then they can defend comfortably as we don’t have any clinical forwards for them to worry about.
