It's a bit more than that when people are calling for the manager to go because we've had a penalty turned down by VAR. 

Yeah but I’m saying they’re probably calling for him to go based on many factors not just that. He clearly isn’t the man to take us forward now and I think even he accepts that.

Anyone would think that away to Arsenal was going to be easy. These are a very good side. 

Yeah, we have so many kneejerk reactionaries on here don't we.

 

I mean it's only one game and we're only 2 games into the season.

Why don't you buy out his contract then?

We could try crowdfunding.

[Larry_LCFC]

Brendan has to go. It may not be entirely his fault but negative, possession football will never work this group of players.

 

We have seen more than enough now. He's had his chance.

Still that willy puller Tielemans wont get his move based on this, stick the tosser in the youth teams unless he signs an extension.

No thanks, I don't want the overrated bag of spanners staying any longer, unless we make him the shoe shine boy. Probably wouldn't be any better at that tho

[bigboy]

I’ve just turned on, has Rogers gone yet?

[chapero82]

We are going down so enjoy it while it lasts

Lucky not to have conceded four in the first half.

Not sure what would define badly 

Ward has kept us in it

We're just not in this game. They are so much quicker and more inventive with the ball. We've had our moments, and we have looked decent in bits, but they've just shut us down. It's almost unfair, a mismatch.

[LcFc_Smiv]

Continue to show too much respect to these big teams, only way we stood a chance was to go toe to toe with these and get in their faces. Instead we just continue to play it safe.

And how I've missed those flat back fives at home to Stoke and Hull City. 

Bristol City second from bottom of the Championship at the start of the day.

They are a massive club that can continually buy expensive players and pay twice what we can. What exactly is there to think on?

 

Anyone actually kidding themselves that we were above them in the long term had a problem. They were deluded. 

One of the issues around here, people genuinely talking about ‘replacing’ them in the ‘Big 6’ a couple of years ago. I suspect it’s why the criticism now goes beyond criticism and looks as unhinged as Everton fans always do

It's a difficult one because I don't think we have played that bad.

Jesus has scored a brilliant 1st goal and bad defensive effort to concede the 2nd, I think soyunchu would of got rid of.

 

People won't like it but we can't and won't be able to compete unless the owners pump money into the club.

Everton are worse in FFp than us and spending big cash. Villa the same.

 

Owners need to dig deep but tbh I think they wouldn't mind us going down for the parachute payments 

Can't really believe I'm reading this.

Except when his favourite players are out and he was forced to play Nacho and Mendy.

His treatment of Iheanacho is nothing short of disgraceful. If we are playing 3 at the back then why not play him up top with Vardy. Vardy and Maddison absolutely anonymous in this formation currently.

Turgid, three at the back and a defensive midfielder.

 

Timmy not in the game at all, and Justin is our only player making anything happen.

 

We deserve to be 2 down and could have been worse.

The greasy haired Pep wannabe has spent 400m in two seasons!!..

Anyone can buy a decent team with that kind of money!!..

Modern day football is just so fvcked up its not true!!

I'm fast going off the whole thing.

And yes the other one is shite as well

“I put it on I take it off”

On the plus side, Southampton is dreck.  At home we might nick a point off them.

I don't think so. This Arsenal side will batter many a team. Credit where it's due, they're a good side.

[Mickyblueeyes]

We’ll come out second half. All guns blazing. Miss a chance or two. Fall short at the back and concede a third. 3-0, game over. Games with Brendan. 

[Mark]

Attack is the best form of defence. You can't with a back five and four central midfielders, so Arsenal are free to pile forwards as they have. The game was done at 2pm.

And we're certainly doing our best to make them look even better 

[thegaffa]

I will never understand why teams play 3 cb’s against 1 striker.

 

if your playing against 1 striker with 3 cb’s, your either going to get over run in midfield or out wide, or both.

That’s what angers me the most….does anyone else remember when our players always looked fitter, faster than most other clubs?
