I know Solanke isn’t rated by most and maybe rightly so, but we are a much better side when he’s on the field. Spence hasn’t really done anything wrong but I think we’re a little too narrow on his side
He is weak as piss mate, he doesn't occupy or bully his CH one bit... For me you're either rapid as fuck or a lump who'll do damage and cause havoc... Both need to be able to finish...

He isn't fast and is weak as fuck and couldn't finish his fucking dinner...

For me, we were absolutely robbed for him... Yep, that's not his fault but we're yet again flogging a dead horse because we got bent over on the fee...

Fuck this club.

I said Burnley would give us a bigger test than Dortmund and here it is. We're fucking shite. Our keeper wouldn't get into a championship side, our midfield are jogging, and as for our front line ???
Just goes to show how much Kane and Sonny carried this club on their back for far too long.

Look I don't think sacking Frank will make a fucking jot of difference...

But something must change right fucking now... That CEO's statement isn't worth wiping the piss off the end of my dick with...

If they were committed to change they'd go shit or bust this transfer window and actually back the manager with serious players... And they don't want to do that because they don't think he's the right man for the job and they don't want to spend the transfer fees or wages...

Frank needs to win the 3-2 or he should be replaced

2-2 against a team without a league win in nearly 5 months.

So... Who has told Cutti to play upfront...

If that is Frank then yep... FRANK CAN FUCK OFF... That's Sunday fucking league shit...

If it's not Frank then the ill discipline tells me he needs to go this evening because he has no control over this side and they're not doing what he wants...

If it is Romero then it's embarrassing that we have to rely on Romero doing what the manager should be doing by changing the formation...

I mean, if it is Frank's move, then just play him upfront and keep going long... We've got 2/3 CBs available to play in defence why play with 3...?

It looks like a mature hour at this club every fucking week...

That's the thing. We're at the point where it makes basically no difference whether we sack him or not.

Very limited players. Here I am talking about being better with Solanke, and I think we are, but you're right to say he's not a great PL striker.

Danso played the ball into touch under no pressure four times today. Vicario is a decent shot stopper but not very good with his feet, and in the modern game, as Dave said, that makes him a Championship-quality keeper.

One of our CMs has been out of the playing squad for extended period under two managers and, now that he's back out of necessity, will probably be online huffing paint or whatever he does in the next week or so. Odobert and especially Xavi are very good creative players, but they need something to go right, or they lose confidence quickly. I love Spence, Udogie and Porro, but all three get caught ball-watching far too often (I think that's probably another reason the club are interested in Robertson.)

I'm a youth coach, and if I was in charge of this team I'd start one of Van de Ven or Romero up top without even thinking.

Maybe Frank could get more out of these players, but I think we have a very low ceiling. I'm hoping with the Gallagher transfer the powers that be are trying to make marginal gains now before bringing in some real quality later, whoever the manager is, but obviously there's no reason to trust that they'll do that.

City, United, Newcastle and Arsenal up in the next four league games.

Lose all four, which is highly likely at the moment, and we're well and truly in a relegation fight - there'll only be 11 games left of the season at that point.

Sure, I get that it probably won't make a difference at the moment but if you're bringing someone in, even as an interim, who can light a fire under them for the stereotypical "new manager bounce" then who knows ?

If you're sticking with the guy who is happy with a draw against a team that hasn't won in 5 months and waits until the 77th minute to make any changes, then you deserve to go down.

I imagine he'll be in charge for the CL game though as I suspect that his compensation package will be affected based on our progress. When we go out, they might not necessarily have to pay him so much.

If we beat Frankfurt, who are already eliminated, we’ll finish 4th or 5th in the CL group. As it stands we’d probably be favored against whoever we played in the knockout round.

Honestly at this point a year ago we were in more or less the same situation (with EL instead of CL.) But the vibes are bad, and vibes matter. If they do sack him they need to bring somebody in who they really think can change the atmosphere, kind of like Celtic did, albeit in a very different situation, with O’Neill. Appointing Heitinga as interim for example would be pointless to me.

Anyway, the club are in a very difficult position of their own making, and who seriously thinks they’ll make the right decision?

Even if we dug up Sir Bill's bones & placed them on the bench, in any order, he'd do better than Frank.
