Oh, give over. Fans were fed up with the style - or lack of style - of football which had no shape  no direction, no semblance of a plan. 

Wagner hasn't been much better results wise to he honest, but at least he has a bit of passion. 

"Bit of passion". What does that even mean ffs? Just so many empty words. But at least he claps the fans, eh?

You talk about Farke not having enough time after over four years, and then Smith should have beautiful ticky tacky football in half a season. 0/10 for consistency there.

Passion is clear in everything Wagner does. He cares and shows it. I never really got that feeling with Smith. Sorry, but that is how it appeared to me. Imo Smith should have taken a break after Villa to recharge his batteries. 

Farke had just taken us to a record breaking season and had ten games of the most difficult circumstances possible - covid disrupted preseason, injuries, no prep with Kabak and Normann, loss of Buendia and Skipp, weakness at the time of Sargent and Tzolis - and almost the most difficult starting fixtures imaginable. 

We were just coming out of that phase of the season - we even got the elusive win that might have kick started the season. And we sacked Farke....for nothing.

I will say it again,  what did you think farke should of done in those 4 and a half seasons you keep going on about. What were you expecting him to build a strong team to compete? Because that's where the clubs model wasn't any good , that's why most fans don't care , they know the model doesn't work if you want to stay in the prem. In the 4 and a half years he had to sell virtually every player him and his coaching team improved , you don't build a team selling all your best players.

You must have missed the camera panning in on him when we equalised yesterday then!? If that was 'passion', I wonder what he's like when he 's downbeat!!

That's called fear. Yes, we'd equalised, but he knew what was coming......

He showed zero passion on Sunday when we scored, so yet again you are talking bollox!

Have you actually seen him during matches? He is normally totally involved and full of reaction. The guy was so tense on Sunday - it was a  huge occasion for him, playing Liverpool and against his best friend - and he knew that despite us scoring that it was going to be a tough afternoon.

Nah, he was just p*ssed off that the bet he had on Liverpool keeping a clean sheet had just gone down the swanee…

More crap from you! Does it ever end? He should be 100% dedicated to Norwich during that game but he wasn’t! Dress it up however you like the guy was passionless!

What is it about Germans that you seem to love so much? Maybe it’s their sausage? 🤣🤣🤣

What on earth makes you makes you think he wasn't 100% dedicated to Norwich on Sunday?  Yes, it was his best mate, but it was still against Liverpool, arguably the best club in the country at the moment. If you were in charge, you might be a little tense too! To me he was holding it together more than anything else.

Yet again you don’t get it do you! He’s employed by Norwich so **** who we are playing he should be all in irrespective of his best mate or not! You just don’t understand simple things do you, holding it together? Yet more tripe from you! 
 

So if Liam Gibbs scored a play off final winner against the Binboys and didn’t celebrate you’d be happy with that wouldn’t you?

I don't think you understand human nature if you can't see that playing a team like Liverpool might make him very tense, even when we score. The fact that his best mate is also the manager is an add on to that, not the main story, but I think you knew I meant that and are just goading me, so fill your boots.....

Oh for goodness sake, you are the one who doesn’t understand it at all. Just excuse after excuse with you isn’t it? If you work for a company buy harbour desires to go somewhere else and don’t show 100% commitment you wouldn’t last long. It’s called real life ffs. How do you explain that his assistant Pelach was overjoyed then? What message do you think it sent to the players too? It’s really simple, show your desire to be here or go!

You show no understanding of the pressure a football manager is under - and no understanding of body language either. No understanding of me for that matter. There's a message there.

Please explain his body language again for both goals?  I don't understand it either,  nothing you are saying really makes sense, he's meant to be our motivator and leader.

Sometimes there are situations in life where people bottle tension up so much that they can't let it out. Simple as that really.

Normally, he celebrates goals as much as any passionate fan, but this match was something different - against the top club in the country and even if we scored one or two, he knew we were still going to be up against it - hence the lack of outward celebrating. 

People can view it how they like, but that was my take on it.

Really? I’ve done a body language course actually, have you? And it shows that he was not totally focused on the job in hand. So please don’t tell me something you know absolutely nothing about, and you don’t know anything about football management either, again I have a coaching qualification so yet again you are wrong. When you are qualified to lecture me on body language or even football management, I also have a degree in management too, then I might listen, but until then I will treat what you say on the subject the way it deserves.

In view of your ranting about your observation during the game at Anfield, calm down, calm down!

Why would he be bottling tension up? It was a cup game we were totally meant to lose , a total free hit , go out and enjoy it. Most games this season have been been important to him. It really doesn't make sense. When we equalised he should of virtually been on the pitch. I expect Maidstone manager didn't have the same reaction at Ipswich.

We all act differently under different circumstances and I don't think we should be judging the way managers react to goals at a football match. To me he was clearly deeply involved in that match and keeping his emotions in check and there's nothing wrong with that imo.
