Waiting until we can’t qualify, or even reacting after we don’t, is madness. At this point, Mike Bassett would have more chance of getting us in the top 5. Top 5, jesus.

Only to another press conference tomorrow sadly.

Really can’t see him inspiring us to even draw against Villa, Chelsea, Mancs, Ev. Even the likes of Brentford, Palace and Fulham are scaring me at this point. No change in the dug out and we’re relying on others being s*** to make top 5. Need someone, anyone, to hopefully new manager bounce us into next years CL.

I think Hugo will be fine when he has to fight for his place, and has someone coaching him properly. I don’t think it’s entirely his fault he thinks he’s made it, given the start he had and the adulation he received. A coach and mentor convincing him to spend more time on the training ground, than refining poses and expressions infront of a mirror, until he’s actually achieved something, is all he probably needs.

He’d be able make those passes from earlier in the season, if even one player was brave enough to make the kind runs they were in August and September. Also having Isak making the movement we saw all too briefly against West Ham and Spurs, before the clumsy oaf van Der Ven smashed his leg. The manager must be at fault here for either instructions or lack of confidence in making incisive runs for him to pick out. Why the hell spend all that money, and not set a team up to play to his strengths. Exactly this. I couldn’t believe Isak and Wirtz passing each other on the touchline, when they are exactly what each other, and we, need. Just highlights how bad the manager is.

His touch, control, and passing were outstanding. Taking him off when bringing on our biggest goal threat, and desperately in need of a goal, was just nuts.

100% agree, was just thinking the same. It’s ok reinvigorating the squad with younger players, but experience is vital.

I think if it was PSR, it would be a loan with obligation to buy.
