As much as I think he got it wrong yesterday I still don’t think we should sack him. The players need to learn that they can’t just down tools and get what they want. We have been through to many managers with these players and it’s the same old story. We need to start flushing out the bad eggs, get a few new players inn and move forward. Things will get better.

I agree in principle but a deliberately belligerent manager isn't the one to stop searching on, especially when we aren't getting the results and playing negatively to boot

You said 'if we can get through' the next couple, so you inferred it. Your argument was it'll be grand when we have a decent run.
2 of those were pens so lets be realistic, for Dom's sake.
'a good chunk'? What's that? How many points do you expect from those games? It matters because we are well into the 2nd half of the season then and how many points we have v relegation rivals(not European rivals btw) will matter a lot
What would it take for you to say RB is not doing a good job? I'm curious because I had a cut off point when I decided he is not worth getting any more of a chance...2 man midfield against the most creative midfield in Europe did it for me...since then not impressed either, last night was an utter shambles. What would it take for you?

I've admitted when I thought he made mistakes. I thought he would go with a 3 man midfield against Liverpool for example.

Personally I don't think we have the team capable of playing a 4231 tactic and think we need to revert to his Newcastle tactic of 541 with wing backs.

Against Palace. I thought we doing OK until we switched to a 4141 and thought that wouldn't end well.

I don't think he's invincible, but at the same time, individual mistakes have cost us quite a lot this season. The main culprit seems to be Coleman, as soon as we can replace him the better. Holgate and Delph are dog [Poor language removed] too.

If we can get in a destroyer to sit in front of our defence, a replacement for Coleman and another winger, it will improve us considerably.

Who says we're going to lose against Chelsea and Leicester. We beat Arsenal and drew against Spurs and Utd.

Digne has been poor for over a season now. Even fans of other clubs say the same.

I would expect a good chunk of those matches to be wins.

DCL scored 3 goals before getting injured. Its clear that losing our best striker is affecting us.

How would you know?

You only started watching us this year and I doubt you even do.
