Im just not sure but im leaning towards out. I dont think theres any chance of him going though.

I'm almost certain what will happen though is we'll spunk one hundred odd million in the summer on older players on big contracts and then be looking for another new manager around November.
I think this is the most likely thing to happen - but hopefully not
100% this is going to happen

I think he did ok today.  I think he went with the mindset that he was determinded not to lose, and we didnt.

We played pretty rubbish - but I think he just decided there is no way were losing that - and as such I guess that a positive

I do still have a load of concerns - as every player has regressed under him - even his mate Phil. 

I dont know if we would be able to get anyone better in now - as from an outside perspective I think we look a bit of a mess if he goes, so I can't see us getting Eleven Hag

Short of throwing all our money at Poch I think our only option is to back him and hope somewhere in there we find a top manager

It all just a bit underwhelming - it seems like he doesnt have faith in many of the players, and many of the players dont have faith in him. 

Our Grealish upgrade looks more likely to go then stay, and all our signings from last summer dont seem to feature in our future.

I think we wont find it easy to reshape the squad as I think we have a worse hand than we did last season

Given where we were at the end of last season this is hugely disapointing - and looks like we have managed to do a villa and blow it just when we seemed to be getting things right

I think this will be a real test of the mettle of our owners - as I think they will be writing off 100s of millons over the next couple of years and there is a very good chance we wont be any further forward

You know what - I'm out of patience. Seen enough to know this isn't going to work.

Poor tactics, poor team selections, poor man-management (*telling the players' they're shite and they're going to be replaced in the summer).

Don't give this chancer a penny - Get rid before the summer window.

The team are devoid of EVERYTHING resembling a coherent football team. Gerrard Out.
Spot on

The Gerrard apologists will be out in force again. But it’s inexcusable that after 22 games, that’s what he’s developed. OUT now

All about opinions I suppose but I think it’s massively over the top to react like that. We drew away - what an utter disgrace….

Spurs have not registered a shot on target since April 9th. Since they stuck 4 past us.

Every player has regressed under him? Not sure about that. A lot of players were having poor seasons anyway (Watkins, Ings, Konsa, Doug, and McGinn). There are players who have clearly moved forward in Cash and Marv. I also think Ramsey has continued his upward trend.

In fairness they only managed about four shots against us!

Yeah thats fair on Cash and Ramsey - but I would expect him to get more out of the players that he has as we know they are better than they have been playing.

Also before today's game we hadn't registered a single shot on target since April 9th. It's no wonder we aren't winning games.

We played pretty rubbish ...
... you doing okay to this point.
We weren't rubbish. We did okay but failed to make the most of the chances that fell to us: our play in the final third was poor.

Ok rubbish is harsh - but we didnt play well - and the first half in particularly was weak, we kept giving the ball away and the playing it around at the back was looking pretty hab-hazard at points

I would say overall they were the better side in the match and they didnt play great either

The game plan was clearly to not lose, and we didnt so thats something

Ok fair enough.  Surely its customary to at least do one of those winky faces for those of us who are hard of thinking
