Is the season f*cked?

[VIALLI 9]

Nobody wants Rafa here and Torres is rotten. Roberto could have sold Torres in January and got in a couple of quality strikers. But no, we are stuck with these plums for atleast the rest of the season. Has Roman gone to far? Aaaaaaaahhhh!!!

[Funkyflashman 187]

Knee-jerk to say the least. Yeah it wasn't good, but we moved up in the table. No need for this.

[Ollie 4,400]

Yes.

Next question.

[Amblève. 4,995]

Too early to say, no?

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

3rd in the league with a new team and a new manager after only 14 games? Technically still in Europe and both domestic cups? Chance to win the Club World Cup in December?

Yeah, might as well give up now.

How long we gonna give Torres then? Yes he was magic in Barca last season but thats about it. As for Rafa need I say anything.

Correct. I think Roman has utterly lost the plot. What happens when the Happy Hammers turn us over on Saturday? Rafa out after three games? fingers crossed. Maybe Avram is being tapped up behind the waiters back as we speak.

My only hope is that we don't embarrass ourselves in the CWC. The whole world will be watching so we need to give a good account of ourselves.

Oh I don't endorse Torres. I'm absolutely not a fan of his, I'm just saying that it's not f****d yet. We're still alright in the League and got some trophies still to play for so I'm not giving up hope now. Far from it.

[Corner 456]

No, not at all.

If we finish in the top four this season and the team has made a lot of progress in understanding each other, then it's a good season for me.

[Ollie 4,400]

The fact is, we were doing brilliantly and yet another October to November transition has fuckled us. This same spell was why we finished 6th last season and we wont be fluking any Champions Leagues this season to paper over the cracks. After the Tottenham win i genuinely 100% thought we could win the league. 5 weeks on, we out of it and have sacked our manager winning 0 league games since.

The tempo has gone, the passion has gone and the premiership has gone.

[SeB 1,281]

The massive concern is about match fitness, we can't even play 50mn a game... That was decent vs City & tonight for 50mn and then we dropped completely, even tonight with some organisation

We need rotation players but there's about 6 weeks until we can get ones...

I knew the season was fucked as it started to be fair, that's not even a knee jerk reaction. That's just a sad observation.

[didierforever 7,349]

we are gonna win the cwc(maybe) but nothin more. yes, the season is fucked.

[Ollie 4,400]

Our players are tired and lagging after 12 or so league games. Pathetic bunch of pansy cunts. The woulda died in the 70's and 80's.

[dumps 284]

Of course this season is fucked because the fans are unhappy. Because we are unhappy with recent events, we can't really give 100% blame to the club... its partyl us. its a horrible cycle. The fans are important, imagine being on that pitch hearing boos and having no support, as a player, that does not motivate you - you might say these are professionals, and its their job, but no matter who or what you are, if you are getting a negative reception and negative reinforcement... nobody performs well.

We need to support the club. yes we arent happy with some of the choices the owner has made (and i agree) but we should back what has been done becuase theres nothign else we can do.. if you dont agree with whats gone on, like most (including me) then just suck it up, and support the team. If we get behind the team, our confidence will increase. we will not get results if we arent there to cheer them.

OR we can carry on crying, have a shit season, and hope Roman is a little more rational with his decisions... but we all know he'll just do what he want, he's not changed since day one.

So i say lets do our part and quit moaning. whats done is done, lets move on and win some fucking games.

[Ramzi 233]

This is why i stay away from the forum after a disappointing result

[-Kaplan- 410]

The season is 1/3rd of the way through. -.-"

Why do people feel the need to over-exaggerate after the coach has only had 6 days in charge? It was worse under AVB, so just relax.

It depends what you mean. We were never going to win the league or the CL but we could finish top-4, get into the next round of the CL and maybe win one of the cups. I think the fast start gave people unrealistic expectations. We didn't the proper depth or balance in the squad from day one.
