Thank god Pep's future is not in the hands of people on this forum. At this rate, he will be crucified and burned if given the chance!!

1 win in 12 is relegation form. This is bad

Ortega apart its been disgraceful

I think its amusing people seriously think this years squad could win the league if we had another manager.

I'm not sure that's what he's getting at.

It could be more organised for starters

I think you're a reactionary, and you want him to be a reactionary. It's like the early parts of his career with us when people were saying he needed to get Big Sam in as a defensive coach. His "stubbornness" wins titles, more titles than any manager in the history of the game, and this is what the stubbornness looks like when playing with a depleted, tired squad. If you want 6 in 8 then this, what is happening right now, is a potential outcome in one of the 2.

His system works with the right players who give it their all, we’re clearly not in that situation now. If we carry on like this we’ll be in a relegation battle & out of the CL & FA Cup, so we’ll be hanging on to play in the Mickey Mouse World Cup thingy.
We are in a lot trouble here and we either back Pep with the right players to make it work or we change managers to play a different style because Pep isn’t gonna change because he clearly doesn’t know how to.

I really want Walker out of our club now - don't care what he has done years ago - players need a leader to lead. He is taking this team down like a Titanic anchor. It sickens me that he still takes the armband when he's on. Pep needs to get tough and send a message by sacking this liability.

I'm struggling to understand when Pep tried something different against an in form Forest side and we won then since has not done that. I have no idea what to think right now.

For those wanting many signings - players will be watching this and know something is seriously wrong. It's gone from players (Julien etc) thinking they would not get game time to do we want to join a sinking ship.

Bewildering this stuff.

The ref has been the least of our worries can’t believe people pinning it on him

Blaming the ref is a handy excuse.
