I think you need to look at the entire playing staff - they need to be sacked, all of them. Then let a manager build a team with actual footballers in it.

Current lot is our worst ever. They've been doing this for 3 and a bit years now, without question I hate the majority of them more than I did the 2005 lot.

What a truly pathetic team this is, honestly. I've had 3 and a bit seasons having to endure Romeu, JWP, Redmond, Cedric, Stephens et co try and contribute to a football match. The spine of this team is the worst in the league, there are probably better in the NPC and L1 to be honest. This team will go down as our most unlikable ever, without question. Purple patches from Redmond and Hoj apart, they have been part of this team for too long and haven’t helped. No point in talking about the game as it's yet another defeat at home. I'm bored of it all.

Why did she insist Gao took us over? Even though the PL tried to hard to block it. It was because he was the one offering the most $$$, not his own money I'll add, loads of financed loans, but still the most $$ and it benefited her. Not us, her. She's let us all down.

I don't think he's helping himself, but you still need to look closer to the set of players we have. They are an horrific bunch; I dislike them all. Worst 'team' I think we've ever had. As much as he's tinkering, it's probably to see if he can mould some crystal out of this collective group of ****. It won't happen though, as they're all **** and are an embarrassment to PL football.

He was absolutley diabolical today, so I'm not surprised he ran way - probably in shame. He's always been pretty **** tbf.

I think the opinion comes from the fact that since Davis has been influencing the coaching, we have become undeniably ****. He had no prior coaching experience and just slipped into that roll as he was one of the lads. Not denying that he's obviously good to have around the place and is well respected by fans and people at the club, but he has no coaching pedigree - especially not at the top level.

Losing 0-9 just tells me that our squad isn't good enough for this level, that's been the case for the last couple of years really. Relegation is inevenitable without serious, serious, serious investment and movement in this squad - that won't happen, so relegation it is.

Need to get him signed up on a new deal ASAP then, he'll be a regular for us next year.

They could field 6 players and we'd still lose.

To give us any chance, we need a CB (probably two), two midfielders, and a couple of full backs. Get shot of Hoj, get the money in for JWP, get rid of Vesterguard and Bertrand. That's a start. Will that happen though? Nah, we've heard it all before. We wanted a CB in the summer and ended up with a loan quickie job. We simply will not pay the money that is required to get the standard of player we need; thus we will continue to fall further behind. Look at the mid-table clubs in this league - Everton, West Ham, Watford, Wolves etc - paying upwards of £30m for players. We don't even seem to be prepared to go there, so nothing will change if that remains the case. Even Bournemouth have a higher transfer record than us, it's not right.

We're ready to step in when one of the big 4 has a bad season apparently. One of the big 4 in L1?

How could anyone still keep Gunn? He just shipped 9 ****ing goals, he needs to get the **** out of this side for the foreseable. McCarthy didn't ever do anything wrong if we're honest. But apart from that, we're still forced to select **** as that's all we have.

I think he's pretty average, had a couple of good games and has some decentish ability, but he looses his head too quickly and that's seemingly in his makeup. Loan him out to L1 or something, see how he gets on. Shoudln't be in the PL right now.

What went wrong? Shameful recruitment first and foremost. On both players and management. We've sold a lot, generated a lot, but we have also spent that back out again in the main (at least the first year after Koeman). But the way the VVD money was wasted is nothing short of a criminal offence. Let's be honest. Lemina, Boufal, Carrillo, Vesterguard, Hoj, Ings, Armstrong, Bedenerak, Gabbiadini, Pied, Hoedt, Elyounoussi, Gunn. Jury still out on Adams and Mousa. Redmond is ok, but he’s not a world beater. But that's pretty much every signing (bug money, big wages) under the watch of Ross Wilson, and every one of those have offered us a fat zero in most cases. Given that they were replacements for Morgan, VVD, Tadic, Pelle, Mane etc – is it any surprise we’ve struggled? It's just a disaster and I don't know what we do to get out of this.

I imagine he's another one on stupid wages, so we're stuck with just loaning him out for the next few years. I really hope karma bites that stupid scottish midget up the arse soon.

I think Yoshida is a player who has shown heart, leadership and has some character about him - which is what 90% of the rest lack. The main problem with Yoshida is his ability, he's pretty rubbish if we're honest. He went from being a pretty decentish backup CB for us to being one we call out for on a regular basis, that in it's self speaks volumes about the continuous downgrading of our squad.

The first thing they should send out is a ****ing refund.

Yeah, I'm going to ignore this one I think.

If I'm honest, I think it's getting to the stage where it NEEDS to happen. We need some sort of 'flush', although given the amazing work done by our recruitment team re: contracts, that's probably impossible too.

You deserve something! I think you're mad! They didn't deserve any support in that 2nd half, so many left at HT (including myself). Never done that before, but sometimes you just need to make a stand and stop accepting utter ****e.

Exactly this, I hope most people can see this. But it's obviously the quick and easy call to say change a manager. But there is so so so much more wrong here. A broken club.

Urgh.

It's not so much the quality, there is certainly individual quality in the group – but it's the characters in the group. Their personalities, their attitudes, their psych setup - they're all as bad as each other. Not strong enough, not focused enough, too meek, not leaders and unfortunately proven losers. Sooner rather than later the curtain is coming down, we're just delaying the inevitable to be honest. I'd get rid of at least 9 of them and just invest again, well i say invest...not that we will.

Let's be honest, is there anyone who can make JWP or Hoj a leader? or make Vesterguard a defender? I doubt it. So, as has been the case for the last 3-4 years - we can keep changing the manager, and we will see a rinse/repeat process because it's the same ****ing group of loosers.
