We've beaten Forest & Wolves and that makes him a top Manager !! C'mon !! His team selection & substitutions are very uninspiring so far & the team has deteriorated under his stewardship.

I thought the guidance now was that if a player is falling and they’re arm between their body and the floor then it’s not an unnatural position. Cause they are a massive London club they will get the rub of the green and the officials get away with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, people are yelling that Wardy should start in the WC/We have a great no.1 now, becoz he plays fine for 2 matches and did well in 1 match, and ignore the first 9 matches where he was as poor as Roberto in West Ham. 🤣🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper cringe that.

Ricey Posted 25 October 2022 Share Posted 25 October 2022 Emery going to Villa hopefully puts to bed the clamour for people like Dyche and Benetiz coming here, for the reasons that they would be the only people interested and the only people capable of turning around a heavily underperforming team. Villa, Wolves, Bournemouth and Southampton (if it's to be believed that they are on the hunt for their next manager) haven't stooped that low and neither should we. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be a minimum 3 game ban if not more. Yet if somebody make a genuinely fair attempt at a ball and accidentally catches a player who comes off with a bad injury, then they'll get a red. Did that really get looked at by people with VAR and not have a red given?? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did that really get looked at by people with VAR and not have a red given?? I don't even recall it being looked at by VAR! It's actually worse if it did get looked at and then still decided it wasn't a red. And perhaps equally worse if it wasn't even prompted to be looked at. They've based it solely on Scamacca's reaction, or lack of. Not how it should be because that in itself just prompts players to go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's trying to get his legs ahead of Scamacca to block the ball rather than trying to directly tackle the ball at Scamacca's feet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koke Posted 25 October 2022 Share Posted 25 October 2022 I didn't know this but Wolves have scored 5 league goals in 12 games. WTF is that?? We are bad but we've scored 21 goals in 12 league games. Of all the teams near the bottom, they must be near certain for relegation. Unless they appoint a good manager soon to rectify this. @The Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
