The performances so far this season haven't been a patch on last years. No where near good enough. Poor against Leicester, poor end to Arsenal, poor against Chelsea, disgraceful tonight. What are the chances of us winning against the [Poor language removed]?

No chance whatsoever mate.

Mike Walker mkII is a fair assessment at this point.
 
we will see how good he is the next few games. needs to stop the constant bs after we get beat, and sit down and get a plan b , we have been [Poor language removed] even pre season, the euro game being the odd on out and even there they had more chances than we did, everybody has the current tactics sussed so lets see him change them.
havnt lost faith in him yet , but seems to be over thinking things at the the moment and being a bit to clever and its not coming off.

I agree about calling for his job part but there is a lot of blame to be placed at him.

Obviously not closing down a player 2 minutes after a previous player has just smashed one at your keeper from 25 yards out and made him pull out a great save isn't directly his fault, but indirectly it is as it's his tactics and philosophy.

Obviously you can't blame him directly for a player going mental are trying a diving header 9 yards out in the direction the ball was going but this clown has looked abysmal since the start of pre-season, so therefore he should see that he's past it and leave him out.

Then there is the Hibbert situation which I can't be bothered typing about.

Distin needs to be dropped, it's becoming quite clear. He was out of the side for 2 games and we conceded 1 goal with Jags and Stones at centre back. Typically with us, Coleman then gets injured and Stones is moved out wide and it's all gone wrong again.

Distin isn't a bad player though which is what annoys me about our fans. Players go through a loss of form. In Distin's case, maybe his playing days are nearing an end, but he isn't terrible all of a sudden. All you hear is McGeady this, Lukaku that about how they're awful players when they're blatantly not.

Things will turn around and when Coleman and Baines are back, and Martinez works out our best centre back pairing, we will be back to our best again.

People also underestimate the amount of games we have coming up. We've had 3 games in 5 days. Did people expect a full strength team out there tonight? He did that in an important one last week against Wolfsburg, and it paid off. I actually think he got it wrong on Sunday. These things happen. He isn't perfect, but he's the man to take us forward. He showed it last season and will do so again this.

Then all the tits will be back to worshipping him again.

God, I'd rage-forgot Palace..
 
Are we seriously this arrogant? Like we are entitled to always play well, entitled to have players that always play well, that never have a loss of form or confidence?

Sweet Jesus it's embarrassing.
