I cannot, with any single fibre of my being, fathom how some people think bringing back Harry fucking Redknapp is a good idea.

I think Lamela looks ok, certainly nowhere near wot I seen from him in Italy and Bobby looks completely fucked off as none seems capable of threading a through ball. Its the slow balls that's killing us, its soo noticeable we get on the break and were going forward then the player stops and turns and looks so fucking disjointed, WHY!?
I don't think Lamela looks good at all, both of them can't cope with the pace in our league. I agree completely the pace is too slow.

Those calling for Redknapp to return really do need to keep off the class A drugs.

Its down to the next performance for me, not result.

Just my opinion and I was very pro AVB but I've been pushed to the limit now. This thread isn't knee jerk either, nothing is changing, I mean nothing. So dull to watch its unbelievable, and AVB is flat out refusing to address the problem. Either he's too stubborn, can't see it or can't change it.

If we don't see a big improvement in terms of playing some decent football my patience will have completely gone.

This isn't just a bad run of results, its an exceptionally worrying run/trend of dry, unimaginative football that has been prevalent all season. A few lucky penalties have disguised the fact.

I really do commend him for making us more solid, but I didn't want it to come at the expense of everything good we're capable of doing on the ball.

Lets be honest, we're paying to watch some painfully dull football at the moment. The biggest concern for me is that AVB either isn't recognising the problems or is simply refusing to adjust and adapt due to stubbornness.
Good post. I could handle some heavy losses along the way if I could see what AVB's plan was, where we were heading, but at the moment there is no clue as to what that is. I'm not saying AVB out, but I think the clock has started to tick unless we see some signs of change.

Played excellent football under Harry. He knew what we needed to improve the squad. Wasn't given the money to prove it.
Until teams came to the Lane to shut up shop (something they do to us every week now irrespective of the team) then we were treated to such memorable home games as Norwich, Stoke, Wigan, Blackpool and Wolves (and they were with Bale, Modric and VDV so not really much excuse)
But it sure was exciting losing/drawing at home to those sides.

Having watched a lot of Soldado at Valencia, he will do just fine in the EPL if we start creating chances.

Lamela I am worried about. Hoping it's confidence but it seems like the pace/strength of players in EPL as opposed to Serie A was a big step up for him and he can't adjust. Not able to beat players 1v1 at all.

Like bringing in AVB was a good idea?

I do agree with you, his day has come and gone. However we shouldn't have sacked him.

I have noted that it's common to say what a bad manager he was, and how bad the players were that he bought. Fucking amazing how we ever got fourth place and a quarter final in CL. Not only was Harry a winning manager for us. He was extremely entertaining.

Anyway it's wrong to even think about him coming back, and we have to look forward as this clown isn't going to last.

This thread is hilarious, not sure what is more ridiculous... AVB out, or Harry back? Probably just about Harry back

Although I am concerned now, the lack of fight and urgency all season is now starting to be a big worry

Really rate Laudrup, hasn't put a foot wong at Swansea, plays good football, and likes buying and supporting young players. Would love him.

If AVB lasts to the end of the season though, but is then sacked, then I'd love Pochettino as well. Those 2 would be my first choices tbh.

West Ham, Newcastle, Fulham, Wigan, what is the difference.

so who comes in? realistically?
Avb is a young manager that has done really well, and he's in a tough moment, you prefer get rid and restart (?)
What has he done well? I guarantee that I could do much better with the resources he has
