I will maintain that Frank needs an experienced number 2, we can't afford to have the Manager and the assistant Manager to be inexperienced. 

I appreciate what Jody has done for the youth team but we need to add some experience to our coaching team.

Strap in, get your PPE on, this half is going to be Dangerously interesting, low flying Toxic sh*t expected, from all directions......

I’ve just put my safety goggles on, had to blackout the lenses for the second half. Now where are my ear defenders?

Probably the worst take so far, our form is because of Pulisic? Be quiet you melon. 

So when there's no Jorginho, Havertz and Christensen on the pitch to blame... They go Pulisic? Ahahahahahahahahaa

These dirty old brexiter fans are sick in the head

Yeah but Sarri lost 6-0 to City so Frank is doing a LOT better (or am I speaking too soon?!!)

I have no doubt City is scoring more. It will be an absolute spanking come the final whistle.

Jesus, they are taking the piss now.

Wrong game to bring Ziyech back. Clearly not fit - get CHO and Gilmour on at H-T and try and salvage a bit of pride.

It does not matter who we bring in as a sub. The whole system does not work. We do not play as a team, we have no understanding and anticipation between players, no trained-out combinations, no plan, no vision. We currently play as if players have just met each other for the first time for a quick fun kick about in the park.

Who do we even bring in if Lampard goes? There is nobody of top quality to bring in. I believe it's also a mentality problem with the players. Lampard needs to realise that those players can't all be as good as he was. His mentality is not the mentality that is shared with a lot of the players he coaches unfortunately.

Cut that bullsh*t, the only player they're missing that improves them is Aguero and he's been missing for ages. They are better all over the pitch both with and without the ball, they are clinical with their passing and shooting and that is all against a team in poor form and totally devoid of confidence.

Edison, a fit Laporte, Zinchenko’s 1st start this season, Foden isn’t a starter. That is at least 4 players.

Alan shearer just called it "this is the type of performance that gets the manager the sack"

It is  because players are not showing anything for the manager.

Just now, IndianaBlue85 said:

Kyle Walker? Ederson? Jesus? Really 

Ok then, Ederson as well, not that he matters with how sh*t our players are playing. Cancelo is better than Walker and Jesus has never been consistantly in their team. The fact you are ignoring is that their team out there is better than ours. The "city have X players out with covid" is a bullsh*t narrative.

Interested to hear how you think we should be setup? 

Because outside of James at RB i don't think this is far off our best starting 11.

Maybe Havertz for Kovacic but he's been sh*te so far.

I'm not the manager, coach or whatever. 

We don't see them train, the tactic debreif and so on. 

If a manager can't get a group of players like we have set up to play better than we have been then he's not a very good manager. The level of performance we have been putting in since Leeds has been shambolic and quite frankly embarassing at times. 

Mourinho didn't get away with, Conte didn't get away with it, Sarri didn't get away with it and neither should Frank. 

We need a change or days like today become the norm. 

Can't wait for Lampard to just casually bring in Havertz now to play in a random spot. This 4-3-3 with Kante "protecting the backline" isn't working at all.

It is easier to be trashed by a good side rather than some mediocre team. 

How can every one of our players be off form?  Who's having a decent game ? 

12 minutes ago, jack h said:

So again, what exactly are you expecting of him?

A f**king reaction!!!  This is exactly what I've said all along, he's does nothing tactically to change the game whether it be formation or taking players off; at 2-0 he should have done something to stop the bleeding and he's done nothing except watch City exploit the midfield and defence time and time again...they should be at least 5 up if the truth be known. 

Might be time to try out Gilmour and Kante as the two holding midfielders and Havertz in a number 10 role in front of them. It's obviously NOT working as it is currently.

4 minutes ago, IliyaKrostin said:

Maybe a proper time to put Havertz as our attacking midfielder when Werner is playing 9.

Honestly we have nothing to lose at 3-0, might as well give him and Gilmour a go.

Is it really going to make a difference making 3 subs? I doesn’t feel like anyone in particular is having a bad game. They all are. 

1 minute ago, Slojo said:

Got to disagree, if we keep playing like this and keep losing games he has to go. We can always get a caretaker in to salvage the season, it's worked before with Grant, Rafa, Hiddink (part 1) and Di Matteo and those seasons ended well. I would rather that than see us play like absolute pish from here on out and finish about 16th with the way this sh*te is going. 

What is ended well? I don't think we get champs league with a caretaker. 

The board will be able to show any incoming manager, we will give you the players. We will give you the time. 

I'd rather we finish 14th at the end of the year and lampard is sacked, than we sack him tomorrow and a caretaker gets us to 6th. Genuinely.

I expect Roman got Poch's number or even Rafa's number tucked away somewhere...

But it's not though is it, this was a better opportunity than any to take advantage of a City side that had to revert to a different style of play due to having missing players. We haven't won against any top side this season, it's now or never. We are a bunch of f**king bottelrs that can turn up when we need to and once again it shows.

It is a team game. Disjointed team and no one looks good. I think only Mount was semi-decent. 

Anyway I see no changes here. 

Maybe Frank gave them a good speech.

Ok so yes they are missing KEY players and I just see people making more and more excuses for Frank when any other time they would’ve blamed the manager. So the narrative isn’t bullsh*t its just the fact our team is awful right now. 

3 minutes ago, IndianaBlue85 said:

no I see a manager who hasn’t adjusted his game plans and hasn’t adapted to this big of a job yet. It was too early for Frank here but you blaming Pulisic is hilarious because he’s been much better than Mount or any of your English players but you just want to start something because Pulisic is American. That’s fine I’ve been a chelsea fan 27 years so I didn’t cheer for them because he signed here but to say he’s awful, is well just laughable and stupid. 

So point me in the direction of when he’s had a good game ? Don’t tell me last season as I’ll end up laughing at you again . From the midfield to the forwards we are way to lightweight and small . Pulisic is just not cut out for the premier league . But for some very strange reason the media keep blowing his trumpet . I have been saying for weeks how he keeps being caught with the ball doing the exact same thing over and over again . Your excuse that it’s because he’s American is the same excuse we could have about mount ? Mount was the best midfielder for us that half but he’s too lightweight and his midfield partners are too . Our midfield is dreadful and zouma at the back would struggle to get into a championship team . If you are going g to play a 3 man midfield you need energy and strength we have the energy but not he strength . Billy gilmour won’t help with that .  

No subs at HT? What are you waiting for Frank?

Poch is at PSG. Rafa would not be a good option.
