O'Leary was right
« on: February 27, 2023, 12:07:52 PM »
We are fickle.A lot of fans wanted Watkins,Mings and McGinn out.They are solid performers now.
Apologies ,the headline was Evening Mail style clickbait.But  we are a pretty decent side.19 points from 11 games under Emery.Call that 38 from 22 and we'd be 7th,3 points behind Fulham with 3 games in hand.It's not just new manager bounce,Danks handed 9th place Brentford a hammering and we recently lost unluckily 3 in a row.
We don't need major summer changes.A pacy wide goalscorer and Guendozi or similar (Maddison ?) would get us more goals and we would concede fewer by keeping possession better.Add Diego Carlos and we can really compete.

Yeah, it's up there.

'O'Leary was shite' would be better.

It's no more fickle than any other club plus were not all one single monolithic group that thinks the same way, there are different voices giving those opinions

Fickle or not, some of us want more than "solid performers".  Connor Hourihane is a "solid performer"

There was absolute no point in starting this thread. If he wanted to express this opinion, which i pretty much completely disagree with and i'm sure many others will, he could have just re-worded it a bit and put it in the summer transfer window thread.

Apart both being midfielders, how on earth are Guendouzi and Maddison similar players?

We are fickle. Every set of fans on the planet are. We are no more, or less, fickle than any of the others. But thanks to that pug nosed twat we are labeled as some of the worst for it, by the media, and even some of our own fans.

I dont disagree with his overall point but I'm not sure a new thread was needed.

O'Leary didn't understand the meaning of the word 'fickle' and nor does anybody who parrots him.

It is almost as tediously misused as 'scapegoat'.
