I don't think they're both win. Bare minimum we need to win one of the next three. Six or seven points would be acceptable. Nine and we will be wondering what all the panic was about.

I can't believe there are calls for his sacking.

In which case, you'll be glad to learn that there aren't.

I can't believe there are calls for his sacking. 5 games. Three years ago we had two league wins going into mid November and we finished 7th. I'm sure he'll turn it round.

Isn’t this more of an argument to change?

That's right, what people are saying is he has to turn this around and quickly, that's his job.

Yeah, no-one is (apart from the bluenose).

Difference between when he came in and now are that his idead aren't fresh, there isn't the big lift just from Gerrard being binned, and most importantly, us looking shit wasn't on him. I really hope he sorts this out, can't be doing with starting over yet afuckingain.

I've seen plenty of our lot on social media saying get rid. I bet there are one or two on here as well.

Obviously you take what you can get, but I think a win at all seems distant, simply because I can't see what we would do to make it happen. Even the goal tonight had the whiff of fortune. More seasoned watchers of other teams might disagree but not only have we scored a league goal, we probably haven't even turned in a 7/10 game yet.

I don't know who we'd even turn to. Emery is an elite coach and will be one if and when he leaves Villa. Who would we bring in who would do what Emery is so clearly experienced in doing?

Also, losing is very very addictive and hard to shake off, I agree its to early to talk about him leaving the club, on the other hand he has to do something to change this, you can't just carry on losing games forever.

Who's the Vallecano coach?

emery is elite we're won't get another one of his calibre. The board need to find a way to give him what he wants. If he wants Paquetta get him, find a way.

One of the things I always felt about our time under Sir Brian Little, was that he cared too much.
We started under him like a train, and blew everything and everyone away with brilliant, attacking fast flowing football.
Is started to turn badly for him when he became a lot more conservative, the team started plaything with restraint and were more afraid to lose, than to try and win
I always put that down to Little loving the club so much, so desperately not wanting to lose, that we became boring and tedious.

I fear that Unai is going the same way. This feels very similar,
