Or the simple fact he's the most under qualified manager we have appointed in my 50 years following the club. Ridiculous appointment.

I was about to post something similar,
After seeing Spuds performance against Arsenal and saying Frank has let the supporters down with a showing that lack luster against their most hated rival I get to witness Maresca handing the points to Leeds...do these manager even think about the historic rivalry in these games let alone the importance of backing up a good performance with at least a steady one?

And they called Ranieri the tinkerman🫣

Enough is enough. The inconsistency is killing our season. For those of us of a certain age tonight meant a lot. Losing to this bunch of bin lickers is never acceptable, and i am also furious, never spent so much time shouting at my TV as I have tonight.
We will never challenge while we have these players in our squad
Badiashile - looks like a lost bouncer on a football pitch.
Tosin - Wasn't he free from Fulham? We were robbed..
Gusto - Must have incriminating photo's of Boehly.
Sanchez - Great teams have great keepers - he is bang average and awful with his feet.
Controversially, also Trev Chalobah - he is good but not World Class, and thats just not going to ever cut the mustard.
Also need to really consider Maresca's position. I have no idea why one week we play exciting attacking football and the next dire possession based sh*te that we simply cannot do with the aforementioned dunces at the back.
Reece James has to play unless he's dead. Simply the only bloke that knows how to help his team mates on the pitch.
Rant over.

Right from the kick off you could see the team were off the pace and weren't taking Leeds seriously enough. If you have proper leaders on the pitch who recognise what is happening you can change that and face up to the challenge. Of course the real preparation is meant to happen in the changing room and at Cobham but it doesn't seem to be happening.
We weren't creating enough in the first half and Garnacho should have started. Maresca should have recognised this and changed tactics after 10mins. He got it wrong tonight. We could have done with James on the pitch but I understand why his minutes are being managed. We missed Caicedo terribly and I don't think Santos is a midfield terrier.
It's easy to critisize but we have to recognise the squad is young and needs to develop. We also have fragile players in James, Lavia and Fofana. We also have a disciplinary problem and frequently miss quality players. All of these issues are impacting our ability to challenge. If we had Lavia and Fofana readily available tonight it would have been different.
We're not ready to challenge yet.

Can't find any info anywhere?
And a search in the game thread just had me chasing "OneTommyLangley"s posts every, f****** where..

On the third goal watch Colwill - he gifts the ball away after a slight contact, falls over, and the ref, rightly, says play on. But his sense of entitlement is so strong, he just saunters back to the box and is our closest player to preventing the finish. If he'd made half an effort, rather than sulking, he'd have easily been in a better position to challenge Minteh.
Oh and I forgot a team lacking leaders, starts with Reece James on the bench? Explain that one please Maresca?

I don't post often, and I like to think I don't knee jerk.. but that was an awful performance. The players do not appear to have any idea about what the manager wants other than "possession is everything". It clearly is not. 70%+ possession but no shots on target is clear evidence EM's philosophy is struggling and he is in deep trouble.
We had a good look at Brighton only 7 days ago and learned nothing, on the contrary we went backwards. I don't entirely blame him tho. Our owners need to have a rethink about everything, Everyone fan knows we have needed a proper striker since they took over. They haven't even got close to sorting this out. Not asking for the effing world - but when opportunities to buy are open we buy mid's ffs. Or even worse, teen potential (yeah we just signed a 16 yr old striker from Kazakhstan - I effing kid you not..). We needed to go hard hard on buying Liam Delap - he's young, English, and scared the s*** out of our defence, but we did f all again. I didn't think Yanks could get any dumber after their election, but our owners just continue to make me look like a Chump. They are the worlds mental retards.
From being European Champions in 2021 to being a squad and team i'd happily swap with Bournemouth is about as damning as it gets.

No way lavia is not playing. He was the best player against City.

Works for Mudryk

🤣🤣🤣. 
All these clowns had to do was keep Poch for another season and keep momentum going but not we are smarter than everyone else and we know football.

This once great football club is now f**ked. No more  a venue to go to every week, meet friends, drink some beer, talk about football, talk about transfers and who we could sign. Now just a soul less bland venue, run by bland soul less money making w**kers. The news now is f**king corporate money speak and even more mind numbingly stats, 50 plus years following this club and now FUC KED

The way I read it is Conor wants to stay, he's CFC thru and thru. The owners want rid as they need the 100% profit for their business situ. So they offer him a contract, which when compared to the 7-8 year contracts handed out to all last season, feels and most likely is, a bit cheap. This is non-negotiable. We are between a rock and a hard place. I honestly do not believe Conor would do anything to damage the club (ie let his contract run out), but he rightfully resents the way this is being handled. He is young, an England International, and honestly one of our best performers last season. If he stays, in all likelihood, he'll outstay the current manager, who has done nothing but make me fearful for the season. The real problem here is the septic's running the club. I was duped by them early doors, but now think they are treating our club like a stock market game. Buying young prospects in the hope that they become valuable assets, rather than proven players that actually bring us trophies. Bloody yanks..

Mckenna or Maresca would be incredibly naive/stupid of the club. They tried the young manager approach before with Potter. Look how that turned out. Tbh I don't understand how our club can be saddled with the payoff debt given our current financial situation. The owners are intent on running the club into the ground and any dissent is removed. Yes men need only apply... Makes me laugh that we got rid of Abramovich due to his links to a dictator and in his place we now have a proper dictatorship. 

The Athletic? It's all opinion and hearsay. Also I prefer Gallagher to either Caicedo or Enzo, most of us do I suspect. Removing Poch was the WRONG decision - the players are allegedly very upset by his removal. If they hated the over-training, primitive tactics and rushed returns, there has been no word of it. Joke piece by the Pathletic.
