Uncle Fred 526 Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Having spent some money this season i had a glimmer of hope that we may be competitive I have just got back from the game and to be frank we are no better than the last time we were in the premier league, In fact we seem to have spunked a load of cash on a load of modern day Naismith’s Not since the Fulham game where we were relegated have I seen a more disheartening performance There is absolutely no hope of us staying up this season and Webber must hide his head in shame Edited August 21, 2021 by Uncle Fred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,569 Posted August 21, 2021 We haven't started yet. Once we do get going, we will see much more good front play. Advice to the op - the match has finished and gone - get over it as soon as you can and look forward to better things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uncle Fred 526 Posted August 21, 2021 I have been watching football for over 40 years there is absolutely no possibility of this squad staying in the league it’s simply not possible they are way way off the pace 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Jedi 592 Posted August 21, 2021 I know it is still early days, however it is slightly concerning that we don’t seem at this point to be any better than we were last time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are right LDC, we can look forward to better things as it’s very difficult to imagine we could be worse than yesterday’s appalling effort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Fred 526 Posted August 22, 2021 After 2 games we have set a new club record worst start in terms it points and goal difference in club history that is how bad we are, there is no hiding this one absolutely terrible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,827 Posted August 22, 2021 It appears to me that a lot of posters saw these first two games as free hits so i must assume that the corresponding return fixtures later in the season will be regarded in the same manner and that is before we face Chelsea the European Champions..That surely means we are having only a 32 game season in which to muster enough points to survive ?

What did you think was going to happen when he left? What an odd thing to say. Hmm let me think, oh yes that’s the guy we sold for £30 million right? We’ve since spent around £50 million. So yes, actually, I did expect an improvement. Especially as we have more experience now from before - both the manager and some of the players. We knew defence last year was an issue and therefore we improved that during the Championship. Losing Emi doesn’t explain our lack of being able to play simple passes to each other! Losing Emi doesn’t explain our inability to defend. Can’t believe you are singling me out for being concerned, when you only need to read the articles on the main Pinkun page to see that experienced journalists are also expressing concerns. Weird… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weird… To help it is worth noting we were playing a team who have just spent 3 times what we got for Emi on one player. Every single one of their team is worth a great deal of money, but hey-ho we lost. Man City and Chelsea are not typical teams, that’s why they contested the Champions League final.
