His opinions he gives to the media are totally different to what he gives to the players.
He’s been a rock and a hard place at the minute in how he treats the players imo.
If he goes out and criticises the players to the media then there’s a chance they might stop playing for him.
They still are unlike what some believe.
From the outside though that’s exactly what it looks like it needs.
I thought we put some effort in today but unfortunately our lack of creativity and our stupid mistakes is costing us the 3 points we need to play our way out of this current shitshow.
We need fresh creative players and players with energy.
Echeverri and Bobb coming back would be a start and then getting a few more in the door in January, as well as a few out the door.

Not asking him to criticise the players.
Saying we played well is bollocks and fools no one.

We’re going to finish a flattering 14th at this rate.

Let’s hope we beat ALL the charges cos on current form any point deduction could see us relegated.

I actually thought we did ok in the first half. We were a little more direct with our passing than we have been of late, Kovacic tried a few over the top balls to Haalaand some of which came off, some didn't. The movement was ok and for the most part we controlled the game.

The goal we conceded was poor, he had acres of space and eons of time in which to get his shot away.

The second half reverted to type, Savinho did well to get the penalty but it wasn't well taken by Haaland. I think even I could have saved it. After that we struggled and didn't really create anything. Thankfully Everton were as poor as us, they really should have made more of that 4 on 2 in the last few minutes.

As a team we just look shattered and devoid of inspiration and confidence. It's hard to see how we can improve, I don't think it is down to a lack of effort on the players part, it is just a step too far for many of them now. They have given us great service though.

When you see a 36 year old RB in Seamus Coleman the last thing you expect is to see Doku playing inside. Genuinely unbelievable.

Doku was playing?

 

[Tuearts right boot]

We’re going to finish a flattering 14th at this rate.

and as long as those other shits finish 15th, I'll be happy.

 

[Bluesince1979]

And replace him with who?

False 9. It won us a league. At the moment haaland is a waste of a shirt
How much of that is down to him and down to his service i think is debatable (the service is appalling/ his effort is appalling)

 

[Axel Freed]

So what? has he been a success?

I’d say 3 league titles , an FA cup and a European Cup in 3 seasons make him a success yep

But obviously if you’re a moron who laps up all the press negativity about him and can only remember the last few months then you might disagree.

 

[madloaf]

No other manager has done in the pl what he has for us…

Nothing lasts forever sadly.

Some people seem to think this is a slight blip. Mancini, Pellegrini, Hughes never oversaw a sequence of results like this. It is Ballesque.

I’m sure some stato will put me straight but this run has echoes of the start of 95-96 season, after a home draw on the first day of the season against Spuds, we then lost eight in a row followed by a draw against Leeds, then another defeat against the dips followed by our first win at home to Bolton.

and as long as those other shits finish 15th, I'll be happy.

Will you ? Really?
