Lukaku hasn't scored for a while has he? Good timing.
How can you expect anything else other than a standard Utd win. I used to be positive, but this team has just killed me.
We still lost, still didn't score. So I don't see how any progress was made.
If this was on the back of what you'd just call a slightly sticky spell, then yeah...no problem, it was better for sure. But this is 3 years of exactly the same. It's like rinse and repeat every match day.
I don't know if I can feel for them anymore though to be honest. This is just a recurring theme now, never score, get 'unlucky', and lose. 3 seasons.
5 wins out of what, 48 games? Yeah, these players are just losers. Ingrained losers.
But even a short-term move could be hugely damaging to the positive repuation he's built up. He'd be better off staying up there and then jumping on the merry-go-round in the summer. He'd have better options than us then.
Given the money we'd also have to pay Hughes, you're right - we're only going to either stick, or if we sack it will only be a case of bringing in a freebie or someone from within. That's how I see it.
What is better in that scenario...? This is why the shouts for a change of manager may not actually give people what they want.
He'd be absolutely crazy to move. He's got a decent side at Celtic, more silverware on the way this year, good reputation.
Potentially he'd end up in the Championship. We'd be career suicide for anyone right now, and anyone decent will know it.
I don't quite understand what's up with him. I watched him for Basel and he looked a threat, not quick, but good movement and a good touch. He looks like a pub player for us. I'm willing to give him a chance in a more confident side, as surely there has to be something there.....he looked good for years with Basel in the top level of european comp...
No one is saying that it will be easy and it will all be achieved within the first year, there could well be a few years of dossing around down there before we can shed them and start again. The fact remains that a relegation for us is brewing, I'm personally keen for it to happen sooner rather than later so that 'process' can start. The more we stagger over the line at this level the more damage it is doing long-term, as we will never get the cull we require.
