Ok one for those remaining PL supporters - how bad does it have to get before he should be sacked? Serious question. I'm interested.
Give him time. He is learning as are the players. It's not his fault that our players only converted 3 of the two dozen chances  his tactics created and the fact that these overpaid twats can't mark a player properly in the penalty area.

I don't know aftab, I thought his tactics were very poor tonight.  It was pretty clear that we were causing them problems out wide, yet he elected to play without any wide players after they scored and it was so congested in the middle.  I do agree that the players are also letting him down, but when you persist with players who constantly make the same mistakes (how many goals has Benteke cost us from corners now?) then you have to take some of the blame as well.

And Lambert clearly isn't learning.

Transfer funds will make no difference .I'm not saying he's a bad manager but he is an awful fit for us. It's like every game we play we aim to achieve the worst scenario possible. I'm fucking sick of it,something's got to change

If only Lambert had managed Small Heath. What an easy decision it would have been for most of you. My view is that Lerner must go, however that may happen.

So, if we conclude that he has done enough (or not done enough) to get sacked, the question is....... who do you want to replace him?

Is there a manager out there, waiting to be approached? I don't think there is any alternative solution available. So sacking him will get us what?

I have tried to be positive about the way he has tried to rebuild the side and going forward with the options we have, there is plenty of encouragement. However, the defending has been woeful since day one and his inability to address it will send us down.

I think if we lose to Newcastle, he will be gone.

Lambert was the Manager that I wanted I have to say, thought that he would be ideal for us at this moment in time. I`ve not wanted him out, but changed my mind tonight. He cannot motivate this team and there is no game plan at all apart from crab football. There is the Lerner factor admittedly, but purely manager basis, he should be sacked in the morning.
