Smells *slightly* off, this thread.

TBH, the only goal from westham is quite lucky. I dont think they are good at this moment.

And Villa are worse and we're the only team they've beaten this season

This Forest team aren’t getting relegated btw

They will be or at least will come damn close to it.

Unfortunately we are in the relegation zone after 4 games ? being optimistic and naive at start of season , as always, a team of our "status" should have taken 9 to 10 points as Chelsea would have been only 1 to expect to take points off us ?

Unfortunately only 2 points on board, the few positives again out numbered by all the negatives ?

Have 100% faith in Lampard to sort stuff out but anything is possible with the muppet of board we have ?

Mid table mediocrity is a positive season at present ?

….and sorting out the old contracts and hopefully FFP millstone

Maybe when posting in future it would be a good idea to marshal your thoughts first and then post them in a logical sequence.

Franks got me so confused, cant think straight let alone write straight.Best get uncle Harry up to Liverpool quick.Explain to Frank what you gotta do to win points.

Alliteration please

So more chop and change is wanted I see. So rinse and repeat until we have a manager win the opening 6 or 7 fixtures in a row. The state of some of you.

The board was slow to act on aging players yet again and it hurt us yet again. Always likely to go down given the past couple seasons and lack of good recruitment. Need stability in my opinion

 

[grandjoeblue]

If we get 2 or 3 good signings in we can stay up. Bad results today but there are still a few other bad sides in the league.

Recruiting a dedicated defensive coach would help

Clements and Cole are the dedicated defensive coaches

 

[Toffeepot]

It's just the needing to win 10 games at Goodison stuff if the away form dosen't improve a fair bit so not sure just accepting home draws with newly promoted teams is o.k in that situation.

Fourth game of last season was a 3-1 home win over Burnley so that was a pretty critical result in the end even though it was very early last season.

yea and we lost away to burnley and brentford last season
It's 4 games in, way too soon to be freaking out

Re defence

We've conceded five in four. Only five other teams have conceded less.

it was positive before a ball was kicked too. Mid table is progress. Transitional period too

Bournemouth and Forest. I think they'll go straight back down.

We just need another one. Villa will probably pull the rip cord on Gerrard and employ Brodgers. S'ton might go, though, if they keep hold of Hasenhuttl.

Fulham are led by Marco Silva
