Weird comment.

Weird because I’m saying something that is in fact true.
Emerys signings have been pretty hit and miss . Duran was done by Lange before he arrived , so probably Rogers is his best signing ?

I blame the owners. 

Mings bought in the championship by Smith
Konsa bought by smith when we went up
Mcginn bought by Bruce in the championship
Cash bought by Smith when we went up.
Watkins bought by Smith when we went up.

Five players who are more or less still certain starters today and we are relying on Mings being the second coming.

Martinez bought by Smith. Digne and Kamara bought by Gerrard. Duran identified by Lange pre-Emery. The business since then has mostly poor.

Weird comment.

Weird because I’m saying something that is in fact true.  Emery is not Dynamo.  He got a tune out of players that are average premier league players and continues to do his very best but it’s not working any more because allegedly said players cannot allow their minds to be blown by lengthy tactical team talks.
So you want Emery out? Fuck me what an over reaction.

So near and yet so far. Disappointing but not the end of the world. Put it right next weekend and it will be Onwards & Upwards!

Sadly, we keep saying 'put it right' but the same shit defending keeps rearing it's head. That's four terrible goals given away in the last two games.

I reckon with that defence, we looking at 7th -10th with about 55 points this year

Well it only works if you assume players are the max of what they will be at an early part of their career. Pretty much all you cite have gone on to be excellent players, so actually it just illustrates scouting was pretty good. They’re not average PL players, particularly McGinn, Watkins, Konsa, and probably Mings.

Time for Uri to start giving out rollickings to players, performance isn't what we expect

Shit result. Annoying that when teams have a real go with pace and drive we struggle.

I thought we did ok and both teams nullified each other. They went for it after going behind and we were left exposed too many times.

It's so frustrating.

I hate it, absolutely hate it when this happens. It’s going to be a miserable week till Saturday.
You think us playing Man City is going to put a smile back on your face?
Yes there is that but at least we get a chance to put it right.

Thought we controlled the game well after our goal, no fancy football and stupid passing, truthfully expecting Watkins to cause forest a few problems but didn't really notice it

This is word for word what I would have written.
So disappointed by what unfolded after we took the lead.

Read what I have said and tell me how you deduce I want the manager out.  I want the manager to be able to compete with the Nottingham Forests of this world who go out and spunk £43m on Gibbs-White whilst we are paying £5m for Ross Barkley for example.

No idea why Buendia isn't getting time , got to be better than Cash in midfield
Trust me.
Buendia is not the answer to our problems
