Indy 3,300 Posted December 26, 2021 Not only are we looking worse but we see two decent performances by Sorensen and he’s benched! Not impressed at all so far! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,764 Posted December 26, 2021 No, not happy at all. I thought the appointment was a good one but we have gone nowhere other than backwards. Shame really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,717 Posted December 26, 2021 Not his squad, not his players and he's missing his best. But yes Sorensen should be playing and Gilmour should not can't argue there 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bradwell canary 109 Posted December 26, 2021 What else can we expect. Who could manage those rubbish players bought….I assume by Webber Seems to me that the wrong person was sacked! Farke paid the price. painful watching that awful display today. Let’s face it, the Champs is our rightful place in the football pyramid. stiil never mind we are still self funding that’s the only think that matters. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted December 26, 2021 Might need some surgery to remove that baseball bat Arsenal rammed us up the Ar-se with. Probably some gravel used as lube as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 4,060 Posted December 26, 2021 Was Sorenson benched? Not listed on the BBC lineup, that said we just had 8 subs. Ridiculous if he was available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petriix 2,835 Posted December 26, 2021 I've seen nothing from Smith since the second half against Southampton to show that he can get more than Farke could out of this squad. He initially looked like he could at least organise the defence, but that has gone out of the window. We look amateur. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jambomo 215 Posted December 26, 2021 Smith is still a good deal better than Farke. Farke was getting these kind of results with the majority of the team fit and available. Smith is playing games with half of the first team players missing. You simply can’t ignore these circumstances. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When we had more players available we were playing better football. Even games that were a bit disappointing, such a Newcastle for example - I don’t think we would have gotten a point there under Farke, as there wouldn’t have been an equaliser.

No but we were massively critical of DF in his first season and he proved he could handle the Championship. I would be happy with that if Smith can do that VW. I really cannot see how we will be good enough to be in the EPL under Delia. No disrespect her but its becoming a trend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
