As soon as I saw the lineup, I changed my score prediction from a 2-1 win to a 3-1 defeat. Wish I hadn't been so positive about our prospects...
 


Absolutely smashed to pieces. I hoped Fab was learning but it appears he simply isn't! We look relegation fodder today although we're not in any trouble of that, we've been shown the difference between a team with a set playing style and bloody good coach to our playing style(whatever it is) and a young manager (not rookie), as he's been coaching for many years, looking out of depth.

I'm probably alone in this, but I don't think this is all on the manager. Losing your whole midfield within 24 hours of the match, players making incomprehensible mistakes, players not taking their chances and playing a top team coming off the back of a drubbing
All fair points. It's not this match in isolation though is it? Been regressing for months.

Still at least we get to read people arguing about who was better between Gpott and Robbie D'Zee.

So there is that to look forward to. We might even get a FAB in/out poll to embarrass us further. So every cloud eh?

The might Antwerp are at home to Mechelen after our disappointing draw against Gent (I think the manager was distracted and made substitutions too late).

I'm genuinely fascinated by what we do in training?

It's clearly not defensive work/organisation. It can't be attacking as despite having numerous quality attacking players we have absolutely no cohesion. It can't be tactical because we don't have any. so what the actual f*** do we do?

I'm not in the FH out camp but if for whatever reason this time tomorrow he was no longer our manager the only sadness I'd feel would be the waste of the potential of this season. The players haven't improved individually and the team has got worse. As a team this might be the worst we've been in the premier league.

That's a pretty damning indictment and the only thing stopping me being FH out is the need for time and the fact that it'll be harder to laugh at Palace and all their knee jerk manager sackings.

f***ing abysmal.
