Christoph Stiepermann 1,135 Posted September 25, 2021 Yes, we don't have the right players to play in this league. no change of manager/tactics or a couple of signings in Jan will change that. We'd probably survive and do quite well in La Liga or the Bundesliga but we're not a Premier League side, we're just too small and slow and we play a style of football that only works if you're the better side. Our whole approach to this season has been ridiculous, unbelievably stupid and naive. The club had a whole season to see what you need to compete at this level and we went into his season with no defensive midfielder and in key defensive positions we signed relatively small, ball playing defenders. I know it's only 6 games in but we don't have the players, it's as simple as that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingston Yellow 220 Posted September 25, 2021 Our problems are so much deeper seated than the manager though. Let’s take a moment to remember our previous Prem campaigns. All failures, bar Lambert’s assault. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Green Army 237 Posted September 25, 2021 Not yet but Farke has some big decisions to make. 1, Drop Pukki and play Sargent up top. 2, Decide on a formation and stick to it. Today, especially second half was better. 3, Dimi and Tzolis must play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenfoggo 247 Posted September 25, 2021 We are now a complete joke. 6 games. 6 defeats. Nil points. 2 goals for. 16 goals against. Worst Premiership total points is Derby, we look set to win that record. sad to see our Club turned into such a mess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

City 2nd 191 Posted September 25, 2021 Any signing authorised by Webber will be young talent, with a view to selling on at a very very inflated price. That’s what the NCFC ‘project’ is all about! There is the problem. Experienced players are what’s required, but that does not fit the NCFC criteria. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baracouda 47 Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) I think 25-30 points and you have a chance of staying up. We will finish above Newcastle and Burnley. There is 4 teams without a win this season 😂 Edited September 25, 2021 by Baracouda 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted September 25, 2021 We’re still just 1 good result away from being back amongst it. It’s a long season and we’re less than 1/6th of the way through. I don’t think staying up from this position would be a ‘miracle’ given how many games there are left to play. Of course it’s hard to see that happening right now, but that can start to change in just a single moment. Slightly better performance today, if we can map another similar improvement against Burnley then we’ll have a good chance of a result. Can’t keep making such stinking individual errors though.

Maybe, but you can't change the whole squad, you can't bring any new players in until it's too late, the current squad is unlikely to improve sufficiently so realistically unless you just accept it for what it is and are prepared to put up with this sh*te until May, the only way forward is to sack Farke in the hope that somebody more street wise & more inspirational can motivate the players we are stuck with. Therefore, he has to go. Edited September 25, 2021 by Making Plans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badger 2,405 Posted September 25, 2021 It's very disappointing and concerning, but giving up on the season already shows a complete lack of fight and determination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Therefore, he has to go. I don’t disagree with you. But it’s a shame that a decent coach is going to be the one that takes the fall. Webber looks massively overrated (McNally had him on toast) and the consistent figures are the owners. Who are long past their sell by date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted September 25, 2021 Just now, kenfoggo said: Blind optimism overcoming reality. We are a huge distance away from any kind of results in this league. HUGE! No we are not a ‘huge distance away from any kind of result’. We would’ve drew the game today if it wasn’t for Kabak’s silly swipe at the ball and McLean’s error. Those kind of mistakes should be relatively straight forward to cut out (you would think though we do keep bloody doing it!!). However I’d be much much more concerned if we got absolutely battered all game, but as it happened both teams offered absolutely **** all. The game had 0-0 written all over it, and that would’ve been just fine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
