He's only ever managed it with a team that contained Grealish, Mings and McGinn. Never even looked like coming close before.
Post when we're losing,You only post when we're losing!
Ha! This place would be extremely quiet if we only posted when we'd won.
Trez has been woeful all season, he’s just a headless chicken.
Quote from: ChicagoLion on February 24, 2020, 11:55:54 AMI expected the team to compete, I expected to see a midfield, I expected the manager to identify problems and try and solve them. I expected us to have more points. I expected us to at least be able to compete against the might of Southampton and fucking Bournemouth.We have competed in most games. Our midfield has been surprisingly lacklustre, I'd agree, not helped by losing McGinn; it's overall just been too inconsistent.How many more points did you expect us to have?We've had some shit performances, but I expected us to lose games against teams like Southampton, Burnley and Bournemouth. It's the nature of the league. We just should have hung on in a couple more games.
