Exactly why I can’t get my head around the Dorgu signing or the negative approach on Monday. As the personnel improves he’ll need to be far less risk averse if he’s going to have any chance of succeeding at Utd.

I just think it tends to be inherently negative as a set-up and considering how much the robbing bastards charge me for a season ticket I’d quite like to be entertained once in a while!

Totally agree on a lack of appetite for change and there’s hopefully going to be a significant up turn once we sort the midfield out. However, I still think it’s fair to be concerned about where we’re going under him given the performance. Never been a fan of a back 3/5 which may cloud my thoughts.

Cracking results but I think it also fair to find it concerning that we didn’t create a single decent opportunity from open play. Especially on the back of that shitshow on Monday.
You’re clearly convinced and I’m not, each to their own. Wish i was because I can’t be arsed with another change.

Not certain by any stretch but I’ve also seen next to nothing over the past 12 months to be certain that it’s going to work out (hope I’m wrong obviously). As for today, it’s a brilliant result won by two moments of brilliance against a side that were blowing out of their arses second half.

You could also argue we were lucky to only be 1 down 🤷♂️ Some of the decision making by the Palace forwards was dreadful.

It absolutely was dross in that first half! Great reaction second half but I also think it OK to question how sustainable any of this is. I REALLY hope I’m wrong and sorting that midfield will make a huge difference but I’m not convinced by him or the system.

Totally agree on the team still being a mess but I don’t think it justifies some of the dross he/they continue to serve up.
Anyway, more importantly…

Always going to be 3 to 4 windows before we can challenge but it really shouldn’t still be this bad and I doubt he’ll get the time he needs if we miss out on Europe again.

The personnel is far from ideal (obviously) but if he doesn’t make changes to compensate he won’t be here long enough to build the team he wants.

Not sure how much bigger the sample size has to get before it’s clear we’re going nowhere.

He has a point about the media and how the constant negativity creates an almost impossible environment for players to thrive. Feels a bit rich though coming from a bloke who has spent the past 11 months blaming all of his own deficiencies on those same players.

Yeah, having 5 defenders and being incredibly dull to watch would be little easier to swallow if we’re weren’t shipping crap goals and chances constantly.
