Yes between Trez and Ghazi i can't catch my breath, We should of brought better quality Wingers in.

Could go with a 4-4-2 diamond and ditch the wingers

Players tired from their mid season break?

He will say they should have had a red card for the foul on AEG and blame VAR

The main reason I think Smith should stay is that we cannot continue the manager / rebuild merry go-round. Not sure that is a good enough reason on this showing.

Are we confident he will bring us back up? He did it last season, admirably, not so sure he would do it again.

Stuck with him now after that contract extension

Just now, supermon said:

I didn't mean we have only 3 shots week in and week out, it's the shots on goals. Was merely referencing today's stats

I think it’s something like 116 shots faced since going to a back 3 against Burnley

Somehow he keeps on sticking with it

Totally Clueless

Deano going mental on the sideline

He’d be better off just going home tbh

So, are we all looking forward to the cup final

Chez Adams doesn't have a PL goal yet.

Get that money on.

That would really round off the afternoon

Based on the game at VP I would beg to differ... 

The difference is Bruces newcastle are somehow getting points from performances like this 

Bruce’s Newcastle have not once performed this badly

Attacking wise they may struggle but there defending is rarely this **** embarrassing

THINGS THAT ARE MORE FUN THAN WATCHING VILLA...

I'll start - having such bad diarrhoea you have to sit on the toilet until you get pins and needles in your legs.

Next!

Leaving you car parked on a single yellow line, waking up late and finding you have a £70 fine

Classic VAR in the Burnley game

Equaliser ruled out and pen at the other end 

Just now, PieFacE said:

Agreed. Time to change it up. Not working at all. 

Been saying that for weeks now

Nothing will happen

Just now, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said:

e literally can't have a good day, Southampton have a gameplan and it's working.

Ah, a good old gameplan 

If only we had one, I literally have no idea what we are actually trying to do here

Just now, AndyM3000 said:

Get Baston on for a CB and start going long. This passing possession isn't work with this system and without McGinn.

The direct approach works for Burnley

Up to 8th

Smith will never change though

League one footballer and a league one coach

Way out of his depth

We are just not good enough as a team to be in the PL. Gotta face facts, relegation is very likely. We don’t improve, we make same errors, we make numerous individual errors. 

Gutted to say it but I cannot see us staying up at all. 

It’s how badly we play that’s the worst bit

Norwich are bottom but are much better to watch

They lack quality but at least they seem to know what they are doing

No changes. Ok then

We’re you expecting anything else? 
 

He won’t change until it’s two or three

I'm still convinced that the reason we concede more goals and allow more shots than just about anybody isn't to do with how well or badly we defend, it's to do with how often - and that's all down to how badly we keep the ball and how much of our football we play on the edge of our own box.

 

The players are limited, better suited to counter attack direct football like we had under MON

The way Smith plays reminds of when Lambert went all weird at the end of his tenure and decided passing it about was a good idea

Just now, hippo said:

Yet another poor half from Konsa - looks like £11m down the pan - looks barley championship quality based on his last few games.

He has never looked that good

13 shots on goal to 0

Awful

No changes at half time as per usual 

Cue 2-0 Southampton and then the first change

Cue 3-0 Southampton and then the second change

Cue Smith moaning about VAR after the game saying the challenge on AEG should be a red card

Putting my tin hat on here, whilst we are obviously playing cack, at times we played some great stuff against spurs in the first half, and that was one game ago. 
 

We need to make some changes here, and Soton are right up for it, but we spanked Spurs at times. We can still get something out of this.
 

 

Reina was still our MOTM by a long way that day

The doubters been saying this all season, plays to open and can't defend, he won't change. An I will defend Terry, in saying Smith cannot be listening, don't think terry will be with us next season.

I’d put Terry in charge for the rest of this season

Cant be any worse than Smith

He may even have a different idea

At this point, I wonder if Purslow and co are wondering what the **** they were thinking giving Smith a five **** year extension in November.

Smart move lads.

That more was **** ridiculous

Straight out of the Lerner/Xia stupidity playbook

The owners need to take a long hard look at themselves

1 minute ago, foreveryoung said:

Smith is not a bad coach and we win some good games. But this game yet again is proof he is not the man for us. The inconsistancy of this team is killing us.

Smith is a bad coach, seems to think defending isn’t important 

His Walsall and Brentford teams were crap at defending too

I’m hoping to watch this, I’m assume something like 2am start?

Ring walk at about 4am

Probably looking at about 4:40am by the time they have pissed about getting in the ring
