Saint Matty 76

Without wanting to have this thread stray into completely pointless territory, what are you on about? He inherited our best ever Premier League finish, had us 17 points worse off and playing absolutely god-awful football after 5-6 years of our best. He's also been protested out of the two clubs who took him on after us. The terrible decision making we've gone through in the past few years has absolutely no reflection on the fact that it was correct to sack Puel. Suggesting our fans "deserve" this because we're impatient and unreasonable is laughable, given our current predicament.

There's no way people on here are still defending Puel right? Fucking hell. 😅

We paid that money for Larios for fuck sake

What a club.

Fair point! Still think it’s us, Bournemouth, Forest, Everton, Wolves and Leeds myself.

Everton and Bournemouth both losing early.

Remember this one from last year. 2:43, 3:42 and 5:42 for the goals. 1st and 3rd in particular.

Looks like there's legs to this one. Much rather us take this approach with a player who's been regularly scoring goals and is in his peak years with the predicament we're in.

This is silly though. We play Forest H, Everton A & Villa H in January. If we haven't brought anyone in to have an impact in those three massive games then they've already fucked up.

If there's even a glimmer of a chance that Ings would come here, in particular on a loan deal with a fee, then we have to throw everything at it.

Was there anything more predictable than "we'll be proactive and aggressive" switching up to it likely being a "quiet one" once the window actually opened? Embarrassing.

Getting 0 points from this game is absolutely ridiculous, but not particularly surprising. Down we go.

I think Haaland would be in the system we've played for the majority here.

Perraud for Edozie isn't particularly inspiring.

Not starting Armstrong is more baffling every time he comes on.

He owed us one of those!

Always felt myself to be one of the more positive lot but there's no way this team stay up. Horrible system and a horrible group of players. Sitting back and letting Fulham have 71% possession over you? Hope I'm proven wrong but this is disgusting.

Elyounoussi having a decent game but how has he not slipped in Aribo there? Fuck sake

No doubt.

Did anyone think for a second Che would finish that? Haha

Aribo and Elyounoussi have both played CM, it'll be one of them next to JWP.

What a funny team. If we're playing a midfield pivot of JWP and Elyounoussi then we truly deserve to be relegated.

Especially after Bednarek's comments as he left. Bloke will get a terrible reception should he unfortunately ever make the pitch.

You'd think that all but confirms we're 5atb for the long-term.

He did indeed, on a nice give and go. He definitely looks like one of those Championship strikers who are more suited to the step up. Think Everton and Wolves are pretty heavily linked right now though.
