Of course it's his fault, he makes the players pass the ball to the opposition when there's a great opportunity to pass to a team mate and he makes our players miss chance after chance when attempting to score and worst of all he even makes our defenders make awful mistakes that allow the opposition to score goals I really think he should be sacked this instant and sent to jail for life, I'm not kidding.

I think you must be new to football, or at least how it works.

Players don’t get sacked for poor performances, managers do.

In any form of people management and there is underperformance by a team member that’s on them. If it’s consistent under performance and not address by the manager that’s on them. Basic stuff. Some players are passed it but he plays them. Yes players must take some ownership.

Also it’s just a message board with differing opinions. Why are you always so dramatic.

This is the bottom line. The problem I have with the Roy Out stuff is that there are no coherent / consistent arguments about what he is doing wrong other than blase statements and cliches about game plans and subs and then talking up average or poor players who he isn't picking.

With regard the players I think they are largely an honest (there are exceptions IMO Benteke, PVA, Sakho) group of fairly average players who have done well for the club but there is a lack of quality and guile in the final third. As others have pointed out you also can't carry that many players who are on the way down at the same time particularly when they were one paced to start with. I do think his continual selection of Luka may bite him.

I think things are very stale and results / performances worrying so get why some want a change but also remember the mess the likes of Eddie Howe got into last season.

Agree wholeheartedly except I do think we have enough quality and guile in the final third, it's the middle third that's the problem: mainly slow, predictable and not wholly comfortable in possession

it's hard to put replies on here sometimes, anyway further to my last post it wud be nice to see Andros stay wideand put crosses in for Benteke a bit more, I don't want to get get in to telling Roy what to do but Harry Redknapp pointed this out, he's been off form but why our wingers can't be instructed not to cut inside so much but to get a few crosses in for him to attack is ammo for the anti-Roy brigade (I say we should definitely keep Roy till the summer btw, and blx to Eddie Howe: Pearson, Bilic or Dyche thank you).
