He’s made mistakes before with managers. Of course no one wants him out.
Do you think we started with correct 11 then?

As an Albion fan I hated the result. Hence the posts to get the wrong person out of the club. If you want to keep accepting inadequacies for this club that’s up to you

What would be an acceptable finish ?
Weird call to drop Minteh and to play Gruda.
The home form and performances are absolutely unacceptable, that's undeniable. I have seen some improvements in some areas in some games, but certainly not with playing teams like that at home- every game has played out the same way, except sometimes we've got a point, sometimes we haven't. I'll leave it at that.
None of our players were worth above a 5/10 today, so it's not as if a claim can be made that it's all on the manager, but he certainly has some learning to do and tweaks to make if we're going to challenge for anything next season.

This is bang on. More than happy to give his a chance at the start of the season but it’s proving obvious he’s out of his depth
We were last season and more players bought in since. So are you saying Fabian just isn't good enough? I feel he is too young and as an Albion fan I don't want an apprentice as manager. Happy for the youth system else where in the club, but not the main man.

It seems that his age means people give him more leeway but he's not some rookie manager, it's been his job for close to a decade!

he got a lot wrong today, after getting a lot right on the previous two games. it happens. what’s most concerning isn’t anything fab-specific, but rather why the home form has taken an absolute nosedive in the last 18 months. the entire ground repeatedly doing its best morgue impression might have something to do with it.

The problem is that most people will be going to home games primarily. And we’re generally poor at home.
Today was abysmal. It’s another home performance to add to the list to show the guy has no plan, no ability to positively change the game (I’ve no idea what he was trying to achieve with any of his subs), and isn’t getting the best out of the talent we have. We’re utterly soulless to watch.
Honestly, I just don’t enjoy going to home games and watching our team play when they’re managed by this guy.

Acceptable to who?
Absolutely clueless coaching today but we were almost perfect at Man U. He’s just got to be given time to find his feet.
Shame that’s massively at odds with our European ambitions.

You can't have the 3,000 telling the 30,000 how good we are every week. I'm not screaming for a change, but the questions around our home form are entirely legitimate. The biggest problem I had with today was the predictability of it.
We’re a 10th/11th squad.
Teams with our home record and lacking the ability to break down all sorts of opposition tactics, don’t make Europe.
We tasted it once with a world class centre midfield. We’re miles away from the quality of that incredible team. We’re punching at the right level just now.
Sorry but with the squad we have we should be. The depth in midfield and attacking positions is the best we have ever had.
De Zerbi would have this squad top five.

Definitely feels like a rerun of the Potter years.
It's tricky because he's not really doing badly enough to warrant the sack but we know from recent experience that a change of coach can make a huge positive difference.

If you are an Albion fan you would know that we haven't beaten Everton at home since August 2021. It's what we do against them at home. Remember the 1-5?

I always felt like Potter had an idea about what he wanted to achieve in different scenarios in a game. I don’t have that feel with this guy.
I’ve been called out for calling him tactically inept before, but I really do think he is.
He must be doing something totally different, and incredible, away from home to be getting the praise he is from some quarters.

You said 'Tony won't f*** about. You don't spend the money he has and accept finishing 9th'
I'm just asking what you think an acceptable finish would be. Your quote suggests you feel Tony has a point, if indeed he would be of such a view.
