Any group of players are capable of not getting relegated from the PL. The buck stops with Smith. He hasnt created any kind of "niche" for us. We cant defend, we cant score, dont show fight, rubbish subs, changes (if they come) never work. He's been exposed badly this season. 100% spot on been saying that months ago reading all this crap there not his players etc it may be the case,but any manager atleast minimum should have his team organised not over the place, defending worse then school boys still going on even last week against Liverpool, poor tactically and as you say we look like not up for the fight been like that for months to that was the last straw.Should have gone before that Chelsea game before shutdown owners to slow to move.

An utterly ridiculous situation, shows that above the manager they are also very naive. The plan for coming back up needs to be much better than the one to stay up. Scouting and recruitment has been a disaster and heads need to roll for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lampard has a name so he might be able to bring in players that way. We had Terry thou so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point was you suggested that had we appointed Lampard he’d have been even worse in the transfer market which I don’t see how you can come to that conclusion.

ozvilla28 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) There not his signings or his players is a weake exuse for me.Question needs to be asked why Smith cannot atleast do the bare minimum as a manager with this squad ,organisation instead of being all over the place, defending been a issue all season worse then schools boys,how many system changes,poor tactically why is there lack of fight and desperation been happening for months the list goes on.Now these a things any manager should be accountable to no matter the players his failed in all of them.
