Oh no! All of our problems havent been solved in the 72 hours since we sacked the manager.
Well why not?

yeah for 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1 whatever....we still lost.....something fundamentally wrong with the team at the moment....no motivation and can you blame them?
Name them mate. I remember the 7-1 against Newcastle from around 15 years ago, Chelsea battered us a few times, city hit us for five in Harry's last season, but I cant think of a spell where we've been battered so much within 1 season let alone 16 matches
Tongue in cheek. Thought it was obvious.
If we keep making the same mistake of sacking our manager after a bad run of games as soon as the going gets a bit tough, and in doing so setting ourselves back another five years...only to then go and do the same thing again, and again and again, there's only so long I can remain interested and enthusiastic about it all. We get a good young manager in and we make the same fucking mistakes and get rid because the fans think we have some divine right to win everything before us and if not they'll boo and howl until he's gone. Well enough now, who we gonna get in and why will it be any different. Glenn fucking Hoddle? Again? Haven't we already tried and sacked him? Who's the next mug? If we can't learn from our own mistakes we should at least try and learn from other people's. But no, sack the fucking manager instead. You carry on 'supporting' mate, until we sack the next bloke crazy enough to have a go. It's the fans and their immediate expectancy that's the major underlying problem. I'm not one of them, I wanted AVB to be given a good chance and let him have the job long term to actually build something. Don't give me that shit.Om dog - The levels of hysteria in here are frankly laughable.What are you going to do, threaten to bitch endlessly if we don't win and withdraw your valuable f-in wisdom and support for the team - grow a pair!

and yet conjured up the energy to post a reply! Lmao!Oh leave it out FFS. I can't even be bothered to detail the stupidity of that opening post.
You are an arsehole. Completely missed the point.You can follow him at his new club. And we wont have to watch.
everyone is happy.
I've said the same myself elsewhere, it was a bright start but got scrappy. I am not a fan of the formation, the personnel or think we should be playing this way long term... but I cant agree with people saying it was the formation and a consequence of 'lottery football' that is why we lost tonight... It wasn't end to end, they barely had a sniff until the started pumping long balls forward and we defended disgustingly. That's where all their chances came from (not counting the injury time stuff). Individual errors cost us. We could have been playing 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 (and we did concede after bringing on the extra midfielder), whatever, it wouldn't have mattered a jot if you defend like that.
Perhaps it's okay to play 4-4-2 at short notice against an under strength West Ham, but i really hope it isn't the long term plan or else we've just set ourselves back another five years. The whole youth setup is geared towards producing players to fit in to a 4-3-3 system, if we regress back to 4-2-2 in the long run we may as well bring bloody Mike Bassett in.
You are an arsehole. Completely missed the point.
These are the same reasons/excuses that some of us were making after other games. Our goal came from a break from their pressure. I don't care about the formation so much as long as we look vaguely coherent and work hard, press coherently etc. After a first 20 minute hurrah that game degenerated into a lottery and got worse as the game went on.
Sigurdsson in a CM2 was as stupid as anything AVB has done, as was leaving Defoe on the pitch or Lennon.
Didn't Levy sack Graham a few days before we played the scum in an FA Cup semi-final? Or am I thinking of someone else?
Our mistake is not sacking good managers, its continuously employing crap ones.
