Agree you can't lose 5 games before new year and expect to be in a title race it's ludicrous to think that we are, we are in many ways the new arsenal a team that is happy to be top four but lacks the final parts to actually challenge for a title.
It certainly didn't help. Plus Tripps gave the ball away to start the third goal that ended the game. Our fullbacks used to elevate our game, those two simply can't do that.
Yep. That might change - we should soon have much better revenue, and may get a takeover- but that's where we are right now. Time to focus on the cups
He is arrogant and it will stop him getting to the very top. When he gets criticism in press conferences he basically says he does not care about the opinion of other people including the fans.
I don't think we were well beaten we actually kept going against City and Pool - The other three are more galling because we had control of all three and he had the chance to put them away.
Fair points, and things I agree with. Hope his exterior comments today, is not what he believes inside.
His last 20 minutes comments. In agreement with the poster, I agree on his stubbornness to persist with Tripps & Davis. KWP has not played, so fresh. He gets MOM again, and dropped. Could not see Fergie doing that for starters.
I agree poch can be stubborn af, but wrong game for KWP.
We've also won 75% of our matches. So lets look at the glass from both directions.
Pool's key players, Mane, VVD, Salah, Firminho either had no, or minimal, World Cup involvement after a grueling season. They've also had good fortune in avoiding injuries this season, which is also probably linked to having rested players. We've had injuries across the squad, especially in midfield and defence, pesky international call ups with Son, all interfering with our momentum.
I have never been a Tripps fan. I can make do with Davis (if I have to-not!), but to play 2 snails in your wide areas in any game is a disaster. Remember the days of Walker & Rose. That is what we need. So I would of persevered with KWP, after last week
The issue with Davies has a lot to do with Rose I think. Davies would probably be fine as a back up if he has to play one out of every 3 or 4 games but due to Roses injury issues it seems to be the opposite.
Had Aurier and Rose in my line-up for today, so I get where ya coming from.
Not sure we were well beaten by City. Lamela missed a sitter and we were unlucky not to come away with a point. We dominated the game against Watford and they just hit us with two set piece goals.
