Only wetwipes clap after a result like that. They're professional athletes not children. They need a bit of abuse to remind them there's a minimum expectation every time they put on the shirt, which none of them met today.

*Edit* abuse as in being shown a bit of anger and being told bluntly it's not good enough. Not being sworn or insulted at.
Cheers for the edit and making it clear what you meant.

We are all really wound up right now..

It's weird the things you get angry about - I was absolutely apoplectic after the capitulation at Leicester, but today was just so bad... I mean, people around me were just laughing at the end. Gallows humour, I guess.
Indeed. I’ve been nearly killed and left very badly hurt by a random stranger and yet felt no anger towards them. Yet leaving Selhurst after 5-0 thrashing…and don’t get me started on Bill Archer. I don’t think I’ve ever hated someone with such anger before or since. To a level you look back on everything else in life and realise you were just a little grumpy by comparison :) Football…bloody hell as Sir Alex famously said!

He can f*** off not coming over. What a ****. Think it is SO POOR. Just really don’t warm to him.
I get the feeling the players may not warm to him either. He does come across a bit as a cool, detached and emotionless German. Maybe not so much of an issue in Bundesliga 2.

That is only because our fanbase is only capable of coming up with one song a season, tbf. We didn't even manage a song for Pascal Gross in 6 seasons!

It's not as if he's been getting dogs abuse despite most home games being shite, getting mullered by Palace, and now our second biggest defeat ever
Some of the tutting was quite loud.

I suppose why I started this thread was because at the end of that game, I wanted to see something, anything, that this wouldn't happen next week. We will beat Chelsea and all that. We are a team etc.

I got the opposite feeling at the end today. I felt like the players want him sacked and he couldn't give a shit.

Man city away tickets can f*** right off.

His post match interviews are dire he acts disinterested, arrogant and detached and often gives one word answers and takes the piss out of the pundit. It is not a good look. I simply cannot see how he inspires a dressing room and at 31 played only lower league football and managed a second division german league side. Cannot see the likes of dunk or other senior pros we have are that much bothered with him and it is starting to show

He generally doesn’t come over to celebrate either. He said in an interview the moment between the fans and players is special between them, and not a moment for the head coach.
Please don’t bring facts into this, there’s pitchforks need wielding

it was an absolute disgrace that he didn’t come over. he should be setting the example, not the players. and yet most of them came over, and our manager clearly thought he was above that. the result was bad enough itself, but that’s what’s really taken me to the fence. unacceptable.
Should have gone to specsavers
