FdB has not to my knowledge said so but the Evening Standard report he will switch to 4 at the back and play 4 3 3 against Burnley. I believe this will be a compromise FdB has reached during talks with Parish. It makes sense. Our defence is comfortable with 4 at the back. Its beginning to look like he has been given a reprieve in that no sacking before Burnely. If the team performs well (and gets points) then it could be the turning point we all need. If the team performs well but loses, he still,might get a couple of gams to turn things around. If the performance is as bad as the Swansea one, get rid. But the real challenge for FdB is to get the team to perform well,at home. Big Sam managed to improve home performances and that is what FdB has to do.

And one big difference: Pardew at least had points on the board, we barely were in the relegation zone under him. Now we have played 2 teams favorite for relegation at home, and were beaten in messy, disjointed, disheartening displays.

Parish didn't give a s*** when Pardew couldn't win a football match. Why is FDB not being given the same amount of time?

Good that's what's needed and our two best players fit again.

Totally agree. Maybe, just maybe FDB was not Parish's choice. Whatever I would like to see him getting a bit more support (FDB I mean) Well if he didn't hire him, how can he fire him?

The only people that said he might / would get sacked before the Burnley game were the media who traditionally write that sort of rubbish about every club languishing at the bottom plus the huge number of knee jerkers on here. He can't be given a reprieve if his job wasn't under threat in the first place

Conte got of to an awful start at Chelsea and folks were questioning his abilities but he was savvy enough to change things after a few games. There's no shame in it. I'd like to think FDB will do the same and everyone can untwist their knickers and pull them up.

Agreed Conte did it the other way Chelsea started with a 4 then he dropped Ivanovic went to a 3 and the rest is history.

Why sack him a couple of days before the next game? Nonsense.

This time last season we'd got one point on the board courtesy of Dann's injury time equaliser after we spent the last 15 mins of the game against Bournemouth pumping balls at his head. We then had a three game winning run with Benteke in the side. Don't think de Boer will be gone before Sunday but the manner of the defeats at home against the might of Swansea and Huddersfield and body language of the players has been on a completely different level to anything we saw even during Pardew's worst moments IMO.

Not such a different start & we had already had over 6 months of dross the previous season (FA cup aside). There was far less anger then. Edited by Nobbybm (07 Sep 2017 8.20am)

We saw it at the end of Pardew's reign and the beginning on Sam's. Remember the 0-4 drubbing to a truly awful Sunderland team?
