If we can't get anything from this..

We have a horrible run after the break. Then again haven't done well with this run!

[Vesper 29,281]

If we do not win this, Maresca needs to be sacked the next day.

Not the answer, look at Man Utd… ppl wanted their manager so badly before we got maresca and he’s making united look worse than ten hag, manager isn’t the problem when your players are shit

True. There's no quality manager waiting in the wings.

The rest of this season has been thrown to the dogs. The club has seen to it, with their dealings this transfer window.

No way this club makes top 4 now.

We win here and Brighton takes something at home from Bournemouth tonight we are back in top4. And tomorrow Nottingham, City and Newcastle can all easily lose points. 

Also we can start saying top5 because English teams are on top in coefficient this season in European competitions. And based on what's left zero chance two countries overtake EPL.

Exactly. All we'd do is bring another average manager but the group of players and issues won't go away! If can sort that out ...

We'll make this harder then it needs to be. Some interesting goal keeping again no doubt. Question is which one to play they're both as bad as each other!

[gdlk 273]

Ofc its the manager! Just look how Flick overchanged Barcelona also with young squad like ours..

What does United's problems have to do with us?     Amorim hasn't brought in any key signings yet, the only player they've gone for is Dorgu at LB/RB. 

The one thing that I like about Amorim is the fact that he is ruthless.  Just look at the Rashford situation, he could have easily brought him back into the side to play one of their attacking roles but once he was frozen out, that was it.    Compare that to us, we tried to kick Chalobah out of the club and then as soon as January came around, we are begging him to come back and play at CB as we have no-one else available 😆

 

Also, How is it that we replace Poch with Maresca and we haven't really improved at all, it's still "Palmer and hope for the best"

This wouldn't surprise me at all.  

Southampton's manager will have 1 instruction "Mark Palmer for 90 minutes and watch them pass the ball around for no reason"

[Special Juan 27,587]

By the way, if Maresca drops Jorgensen tonight for his error against Villa and brings back in Sanchez after his 40 errors this season it will tell you exactly where Maresca's head is
