Harry has to be accountable for bad form

[andyw362]

Is it possible to say this without being called knee jerker, ungrateful, fickle etc?

Is Harry so untouchable he alludes criticism from the fans?

Yes the booing was unnecessary, and he has done a brilliant job up to now. But surely he has to be accountable when things go wrong too?

Last night on TV when questioned about recent form, Harry said @well they (Spurs) never done that well in the past anyway, always been around mid table"?

What sort of attitude is that? Is that he is gonna say after every under par performance? It OK because we never beat that lot anyway?

HR loves the plaudits, well he can take the other side too. He had all summer to look for a King replacement, and a striker and couldnt come up with an answer. What should have been a season where we cracked on, is now in danger of falling apart before it starts.

Harry is accountable for the bad form in the league - he is the manager, gets paid a fair whack for being so and to get the best out of our players.

We've also had some pretty shit referees in there as well - in all four games I can think of decisions which went against us that more often than not you'd expect a competent referee to give in our favour.

An yes, you can say that without being called a knee jerker, fickle etc.

I don't think Harry should be fully accountable for our recent league results. in fairness, i think it's a combination of a series of unfortunates.

I agree with MattyP that we have been the victim of some seriously shit refereeing in recent matches although I am not normally one to complain as I believe this kind of thing generally balances out over the course of a season (unless your Manure of course).

I also think our injury list has been really unfortunate. With key players missing we have had to rely on various combos at the back where consistency and understanding between your central defenders is crucial.

Then there is the question of luck as well. Last night we were all over Sunderland and should have been well in front by half time if it wasn't for a fine goalkeeping display. On another day and all that.....

The players also need to take their share of the blame. Need I mention any further than the first match against Young Boys??

Of course, Harry should also shoulder some blame as well. I can't say that I agree with some of his player selections of late or some of his substitutions. As for the striker problem, well everybody knew we needed a decent bloody striker during the summer. I'm not going to blame Harry on this one simply because I don't know what went on behind closed doors during the transfer window. But, suffice to say, if we had a top notch striker from day one with service provided from VDV and Bale, I honestly believe we would be top 3 by now.

There's enough threads already brimming with Knees discussing all these things. Locked.
