You are probably correct in your observations. In my case I was commenting on what I got from the game. Having said that I do believe that there will be very few managers anywhere who will be able to get more out of our group of players than Roy. With different players it might be different but since we only have what we have I doubt we could do anything significantly better than we have at the moment. COYP

I don’t think it’s the isolated performance/result Gerry, as with the SUFC game last week, its the overall (worsening) situation week in week out.

One win in the last twelve games, losing at home to Derby County in the Cup, a really poor performance at home to BHA, no shots on target and zero corners at home to Southampton, a pathetic and frustrating transfer window, another defeat at home to Sheffield Utd, zero attacking threat in any game of late, the oldest EPL starting eleven, dire football to watch, the non existent new main stand and slowly but surely slipping towards the relegation zone with little to suggest we are likely to arrest the slide.

As ardent supporters and followers of this club we want them to do well...but there isn’t exactly a lot to get excited about just now so I can forgive and fully understand people being somewhat downbeat about our current predicament.

It's very simple to me. Roy isn't getting everything right but then I read from his detractors that we'd be alright if he played Max Meyer as a number 10 and that it's Roy's fault Benteke cant score from three yards. The Cherry on the cake is that Riedewald and Meyer in midfield would turn us into an attacking force.

What a laugh.

no i dont...if we lose, it pissed me off, but i dont go all knee-jerk in my reactions and hate on the world for 48 hours afterwards, weve lost enough in my 30 years supporting the club to expect it every other week over a season.

i just dont understand how people go from one extreme to a other in their views over a period of 2 hours.

This is all very philosophical, but yes I was there today and I thought we were well beaten and apart from the spell in the second half after we scored we played some awful football.
The squad just isn’t good enough. I am sure if we had better players we would do better. It’s as simple as that.
