Look at the results. The sheer amount of luck to win those games is astounding. The team can’t play a full 90 minutes or anywhere close to a high standard. They’re being bailed by the fact that the league is so open this year
Just so I’ve got this straight - all the wins are down to luck, and all the dropped points are down to our manager?

Called for Hughton to go for someone to take the next step and everybody laughed…what happened?

Called for Potter to go when the play became stale and everybody laughed… what happened?

Called for De Zerbi to go when you could see the attitude appearing and everybody laughed… what happened?

I’ll see you all again on here in the near future when everyone starts to see…
I agree you your point in the OP and I don’t really think it’s an over reaction like most do
If you look our results we have been very lucky with some wins
Not sure he will be give the Ruud Gullit but your prediction could be spot on

Get rid now Tony. Too inexperienced. Got so lucky in multiple games that we’ve won already this year and is now being found out when the luck runs out. Not ruthless enough, get rid now before the slide gets even worse.
You would have been one of the Man U fans who wanted Ferguson sacked after the first two seasons. Some people always want the manager sacked. Perhaps you could be director of football at Watford as they view football in the same way as you?

Is Fab turning into a Hyppia lookalike ?

Something along the lines of us finally clicking and going on an incredible run of results, scoring loads of goals, which was only ended when Chelsea poached most of the coaching team.

Not to say that I’m not bloody annoyed with the manner of the result today.

Not fab out but things need to be sorted out. We can't keep chucking away leads like this!
Doesn't that make the players the issue ? I mean, they had it in the bag with ten minutes left. Not sure how it's the managers fault. He didn't say 'now let them in for a shot'

Calling for the sacking of a manager and then claiming "you were right all along" when it eventually happens is the football fan equivalent of a psychic rattling through a list of names until someone in the audience goes "Oh yeah Dave...I knew a Dave once".
Especially when Potter was never sacked and finished on a high!

Yes. Hurzeler was absolutely in no way responsible for setting up a team that looked completely comfortable in getting the scoreline to 2-nil in the first place. But entirely at blame for the defence switching off at 2-0 and Igor having a brain fart at 2-1.

Every club in the top 13 has a better manager than us. Glasner is also better than Hurzelar imo. They would all have got more points than Hurzelar. He doesn't convince me that he has the gravitas to achieve anything special. Hope I'm wrong.

Today was appalling from Igor.
I think you are wrong - but I respect your right to have that opinion.

I’d say we appointed one for the future rather than moment. Always risky, but then so are established names. I think we’ll see FH become a better manager in next few seasons rather than expect him to be now. The downside of that is always if he does become better sooner then others will nick him. Therefore appointing someone with potential rather than proven is always a double edged sword. Ain’t that football throughout though?

I agree to an extent, but I do think that subbing another defender on and messing around with you back line at any stage of the game is asking for trouble when you’re holding a lead.

Let’s hope he learns quickly. I do still think that it will eventually click.

The one thing I don't understand is why we went big in the transfer market at the same time as appointing an inexperienced manager.

Either is fine in isolation. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for giving a young and unproven player or manager a chance and time to improve. But why then spend £200m, which suggests we are after instant results?
