We had one shot against Palace.

We chucked away 5 points this week.

Again though, who better is gonna replace him?
Also we were good in the West Ham game, just a few individual mistakes that cost us the goals.
His record gives him some time imo.
What are people expecting, we massively overachieved when we got top 4. We’ve still got a top 8 squad rather than one challenging for top 4 I think.

And yet none of them could manage a u7 squad themselves.

It’s been dead this season, have you watched any of our games?

Fuck knows I’m annoyed this weeks really pissed me off. The West Ham game was fucking shit. Held out against Palace and it’s another fucking shitty time to concede.

6 months ago you thought he was an impeccable coach.

Now…im not saying you’re fickle but that’s quite a change of opinion in a very short space of time.

State of the game though isn’t it. Fans want results and because teams change managers so frequently it seems acceptable to go along with it. Bet there’s a few west ham fans who’d have moyes back right now

Pep even said that if he hadn’t been so successful already, he’d be worried about his job right now. That’s how fickle football is.

Pep Guardiola believes he has avoided the sack at Manchester City after five consecutive losses and a draw because eight years of success there have given him a ā€œmarginā€.

I’ve watched most of the games and yeah we’ve not been amazing. Especially with finding goals but I’d still be stoked at being in this position if it was a few years ago.
I’d be gutted if we don’t get further in the cup though…

That was another insane decision, Moyes won them a cup! hahah

A lot of those players were fantastic under Moyes and the team was really cohesive. Think they’re going to struggle without him unless they splash on a better squad. Moyes might be boring as fuck but he’ll build a solid team and with the right players get goals on the break. It’s literally the way West Ham beat you guys last week, playing Moyes-ball with his squad.

Anyway, back to Villa, we could lose every match from now until next season before I start questioning Emery. We’ve had some amazing times recently and we can be shit again for a bit of balance. Such is life

Yup, we can’t spend any money because of PSR, it’s November and we have looked dead all season.

Yer I’m happy in that sense, but we had to sell Minteh (no RW bought) all our CBs are fucked, didn’t buy a CB in the summer, then Anderson gone and spent 20mil on that Greek keeper it’s all bollocks.

It’s better than Ashley but it’s just weird this year. Doesn’t seem right

Yeah was gutting to lose them, I think the whole transfer debacle in summer didn’t help. We shouldn’t have held out Guehi and been left with no one.

Ah I see and that makes a guy who was a great coach 6 months ago be a bad coach now. Makes sense :+1:

Sounds familiar!

Ah mate your boring, anything I say about a manger you just jump on.

If it’s England, Newcastle whatever. I can have my opinion thanks

Yup! Are you missing Diaby and Luiz do you think?

Diaby 100%. Particularly bc Bailey is so out of form this season.

Tielemans has slotted into Luiz’s role nicely.
