They opened us up far too often to have confidence in the set up imo.
And we can hardly get the ball into a threatening spot aside from set plays.

It's okay Guardiola will fix that when we get him in next year.
Ah crap you probably dislike him based on goals from corners or something.
SAF out of retirement then?

This. Up to the point of the breakaway goal, they had not troubled Pickford, and looked incapable of doing so with how we set up. Committing players up for the corner proved to be our undoing, and even then, we were grossly unfortunate that the header hit the post and came out, rather than being a few more inches inside the post and going in.
As someone else has noted on the forum, had we been offered 3 points before the Arsenal and RS games, we would have jumped all over it. It was just one game last night. The real tests come in the next five games, with three at home, and one away fixture at Forest which we should look to win.
All is nowhere near lost yet...

"I don't think Sean Dyche is a good manager."
"Unreasonable you mate you'd probably complain about everyone."
I guess you're going back on ignore. There's no point in having a discussion with people who earnestly think Dyche is anything like the only or best option.
There isn't a manager out there that could come in and do any better, you can't just rely on different tactical approaches or good cv's. This squad is broken not just technically but mentally.
The players don't even believe in themselves let alone there teammates and you can see it plain as day.
The players see the team sheet just like us, nothing there to give you real belief.
Like I mentioned before on a different thread, just look at coady's error yesterday for where our players are mentally.
No manager can change that overnight..
You're not having discussions, you're posting hypotheticals and giving no alternatives and want the manager sacked after his 2nd (SECOND) game with literally no option to come in - how that's in any way shape or form reasonable is beyond any semblance of logic.
Never said I do - he's the option we currently have/need with the absolutely atrocious squad. Sacking him after 2 games to bring literally no one in will generally do wonders, guaranteed.
But it's okay, as *insert foreign name here* will definitely be playing attractive 4-3-3 football with swift movement, as presented by all of our players who haven't done that under any of our last 8 managers.

We've hired a lot of bad managers in a row. Only Silva wasn't and we panicked with him.
It’s only two games if you are living in the real, observable universe.
I’ve no time for anyone making their mind up on a new manager after two games. It's laughable.
Yeah i'm not saying it was great and we were unlucky overall, just that we were literally inches away from taking the lead in front of fans at Anfield for the first time in 21 years, a week after beating the league leaders. The plan was to stay in the game and try to nick one, and it very, very nearly worked. As I said, we will obviously need to show more than that in the long run, but for the 2 games he's had so far I think it would be very churlish to suggest he should have set up differently when it's worked in one game and was close to working in the other.
Btw:
Guy at Rennes ain't switching to fight relegation with no options to change anything.
Guy at Reims ain't switching to fight relegation with no options to change anything.
Knutsen ain't switching to fight relegation with no options to change anything; also he's in Europe with Bodo you lunatic lol
Glasner, after winning the EL with Frankfurt last year, BELIEVE IT OR NOT is 1000000000% NOT SWITCHING to fight relegation with no options to change anything.
Union is legitimately worrying if you think he's switching from a good job/team/season to fight relegation with no options to change anything.
You're just insane lol
Conceding torpedoed our fragile confidence.
Everything that followed their opener was because of that goal and what it did to us, them and the crowd.

OK then go to options 6, 7, 8 etc. Dyche should have been option 571.
We didn't - different times than the current ones and we let him go when we should have, for a change.
He was and is a top man but was pretty much at the right job in the wrong time to achieve success, as we now know. It also led to the actual only good hire we had but he left as soon as an actual good opportunity arose, which is honestly understandable, even if it hurts. Man saw the crapshoot behind the scenes and left to win trophies.

Thinking Carlo was a better manager for us than Silva is everything wrong with this club. You can't fix it until you understand where you are and what your problems are. This shows we fundamentally don't.We didn't - different times than the current ones and we let him go when we should have, for a change.

All of those options who haven't even sniffed European, let alone English football, and put them in to fight relegation. Uh, yeah, solid.
Or do you mean the rest of The List, where managers of already established teams/squads will jump ship to come to us with 0 days of the transfer season? Worked well for Marsch, Jones etc. etc.
