Pack it in with the insults lad, no need.

Edit: There is nothing wrong with a bit of passion of course, I also understand that as a season ticket holder of over 20 years you are probably far more passionate about this than I am, but at the end of the day I am not going to start spitting my dummy out with the manager this early in the season, especially as he improved us in his first season and got us back into europe at the first time of asking.

I appreciate there are massive concerns about how the team are performing and the emphasis this season was to try and bridge the gap on the teams above us, which at this moment in time looks unlikely, but is till possible over the course of a full season.
Mate you can't go round calling people bedwetters all summer and saying 'wah wah wah' as if anyone concerned about our complete mess of a situation is a spoilt kid and then take your bat home when you get called a sanctimonious bore.

I'm fed up of people just saying 'you need to be patient' as if we haven't been. We've been saying we're not that far away for about 15 years now, we've seen quality players and highly rated kids come and go, always with people saying 'just wait, it'll all come good', only it never does. Some of us could see this coming a mile off but posters like yourself kept saying it would all be fine and people were just moaning. Well it isn't fine is it? We haven't scored for over 300 minutes of football, and have conceded 8 in the same time. But nevermind eh, there'll be jam tomorrow.
 
why do they deserve to keep their places? defensive midfielders that dont protect the back 4

My position would be that when ran with those 3 last year we seemed dynamic, with Davies looking to get ahead of the forward players and creating space, Gueye chasing everything down andMorhs having more space to dictate play.

I hope he doesn't fall into the Martinez stubbornness of sticking with the 2 when it's clearly not working
 

Good assessment. Although not sure I would play all of Gueye, Schneiderlin and Davies in the midfield. I'd go with 2 of them and since Gueye is our best he would be in, and Davies should be given a chance from the start. Schneiderlin needs to be dropped for a few games.

I could live with that
 
If he wasn't Moshiri's beloved big name he would've been sacked by now. The problem is that without being able to sell anybody til January, we don't have the money to do it.

Maybe Moshiri is actually giving his manager a bit of time to get stuff right off the back of progress last season rather than knee jerking after a few bad results to good opposition most of which away from home.

It's worth remembering we're the only team to have even halted City let alone nearly beat them. There's been some good stuff in amongst the garbage. We need to reassess at the end of the season. Unless we go close to going down I can't see any rational argument for firing him.
 

If he plays 4-2-3-1, we need at least one of the players in the 3 behind to be a quick winger who is going to stay wide and give us that width and pace on the counter.

If he plays 4-3-3, the 3 up top need to be strikers and the width has to come from the full backs, so play Kenny.

If he plays 3-5-2/3-4-3, play Kenny, play Holgate and play Rooney as a striker and tell him to stick up top and not think he's Pirlo.
 
If we lose to United by 2/3 clear goals with another toothless performance,I think we'll find out a bit more about our new owner.
