rodders0223 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Still cannot believe he was waxing lyrical about a 0-0 draw with Sheffield whilst we are in the relegation zone and with out fixture list. Not even Bruce would have done that, and now looks at us.Mings, Jack, AEG just strolling about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 VillaChris, what's your thoughts on Nakamba 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) Chance of a fresh start, 3 months to replan. We've got worse. I hate the old "lost the players" but I wonder if they are confused by things. They look lost. I fear Terry will take over though.

Christ are you still spouting this spin? You do know we are 19th with 8 games to go? To get out on top in a relegation fight, history shows us you have to get unexpected results. 2 points from a possible 45 against top 10 teams. 2 points. I presume Smith has the same loser mentality as you, that’s why we are in this mess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care how we win at this point. Yep Big Sam. I am this desperate. Big Sam would be o.k bet if we went down. Took over West Ham in very similar circumstances when they finished bottom in 2011, got them straight back up and established them in the league for next three years.

holteend1982 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Im still baffled as to why he changed Davis for samatta when the midfield were proper struggling, could have easily got nakamba in to help out and maybe give us a bit more possession or even just the fresh legs. Replaces an isolated lone striker with another one and expects what to change? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quazzie goat Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Utterly gutless. Yes Chelsea are better than us, but nobody wanted it and that system/shape was laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV82 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 He’s shown zero tactical know-how and absolutely no sign of mixing things up. We look poorly drilled and have no desire. Shit all round after 4 months of preparation. Pathetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I defend him because from day 1 I said 17th would be a massive achievement. And this squad is clearly not Premier league quality. I don't think Smith is doing a great job and some of his decisions deserve criticism. But the idea that this squad should be doing much better is nonsense. We beat Leicester in the cup, proof we can do better, there's just no motivation, an with Smith up in the stands he is hardly capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
