It makes absolutely no sense right now unless things became dire. At this point, I serious hope those at the top are still bickering with one another, so an investor with some clue about the game comes in. Plus bring in who?! There are so many issues at the club atm and the manager is just a small part of it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who isn't a novice would help. I personally don't see there being that many issues unless I'm blind to it. If we signed a top quality CB, CF, and kept Petrovic in the summer, we might have actually been a competitive side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,442 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 1 hour ago, Mhsc said: Sacking Maresca would do absolutely nothing. Start by looking at the players who are letting the team down so badly - and the even worse players who sit behind them who come in to replace them when they get injured, or finally dropped. Ask yourself who bought those players, ask yourself who hired those people, and who created the strategy for the club. There is a clear line of accountability and responsibility there. Maresca has for sure made mistakes but overall he is the only leader at the club that I trust at all other than Joe Shields. I fear they've pulled him the rug out from under him with this transfer window. There was an opportunity to back up an inexperienced manager with some decent quality squad reinforcements, and they bailed. If this club doesn't make the CL spots this season., they could be doing away with him come season end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,941 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 3 hours ago, Reddish-Blue said: Not sure who else he was supposed to bring on? There were only two choices, Madueke or George as we had no striker on the bench and Felix ran off to Milan. Anyway, feel like the bigger concern for the rest of the season is actually in midfield as there's no rotation available for Caicedo or Enzo. That’s the point… £1.5billion spent and your only options are Madueke and George!!! insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 6 hours ago, Fulham Broadway said: Thought the same. At the start we fly out the blocks, second half is so pedestrian, complete opposite of how we were under lampard, Potter, where the first half was always slow. Tonight, with 10 minutes to go it was as if we were 3 up, sideways passing, no urgency, no leaders - that falls squarely at the owners, manager, club set up. WTF is Maresca telling them, it firmly lies at his feet, he’s not an EPL manager, I fucking detest the man. Fulham Broadway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is we've had managers with experience and still been poor. Just end up going round and round in circles. Not saying he's the answer but while teams have a chance to build on their squad with the managers vision we're off hiring again. We don't have leadership on the pitch anymore which is a huge issue. No one to take charge or have that presence. Or players that seem to care all that or least look like they care. Yep and probably won't this summer...just messy. Brighton deserved that win esp as we didn't even score really they did for us.. Edited February 9 by Laylabelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton deserved that win esp as we didn't even score really they did for us.. The issue is this board. They want full control, and that was exactly why Tuchel was sacked, and since then, they've appointed "Yes" men. At this point, Enzo is no different despite initial impressions. That goes for your second point, too. Our team is built to develop talent, not challenge (feeder club mentality). On a side note about Brighton's win, do people forget we destroyed the same team at the Bridge last time we played? Brighton didn't do anything special; we just offered nothing after scoring and made mistakes that gave them the win. If this was a PL game, their winner is probably chalked off for Lamptey's handball. Fulham Broadway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Too much negativity around here. We are top4 and favorites to win European trophy. That was goal for this season, no? Although Maresca said this is goal for next season and we are ahead of schedule. Who cares about Fa Cup? Liverpool lost against last Championship team.

The season isn't over. As @DDA said, there are serious issues with how the club are being run, so the negativity going around is understandable. Saturday's result just added more fuel to the fire.
