You may not like reading it, but it is all true, and is getting serious. It should be discussed!

This is the Keith Andrews thread - your opinion (not "all true" fyi) on referees can be discussed elsewhere. Thanks

I hope KA picks the most attacking team he can today...and the players chosen do what he asks of them.... for me that's all we can ask of either...
play up Brentford....as someone once said.

Why are we a position to expect more?

I don't expect anything one way or the other, and by the way I'm not the one crowing about being in a European place barely 20% of the way through the season

“And because we’re not good enough…”

Take a long hard look at yourself, we are the 4th highest scorers in what is an extremely competitive league … in the real world, what do you want, what do you expect???

Not good enough at passing through the press. Specifically. And we’re not great at it, but not many are. But if we want to play this way, we need to get better at it, as teams are just going to press us like hull, Sunderland, and Leeds second half.

I think we’re bloody brilliant all in… but we’re allowed to say where we don’t think we’re good, not just where we’re good.

And as this is a KA problem, this is exactly where it belongs. I have faith he’s going to get it right. But as of yet, we’re not there.

Reading some of the comments on this thread and previous manager threads I struggle to see why we can’t play scintillating football at all times and beat most of the opposition comprehensively as managing a group of footballers and working out tactics has got to be the simplest job in the world !!!!

* Champions League places when you remove Man City.

Man City won't be decided for years. So many appeals and hoops yet.

Interesting debate where I see both sides.

I believe over an extensive number of games (28?) we are averaging just over a point a game?

I suspect the ‘down feeling’ has been amplified by the ‘Champagne Football’ we were treated to at the start of the season (where we were scarily good and very pleasant on the eye) that has fallen away in recent weeks.

The biggest positive for sure we sit sixth in the league.

I reckon I could do a decent job as an analyst or tactician. But to put it all together like KA, or like TF did… nah man, these guys are insanely good at what they do.

Ok, but the post I replied to had nothing to do with our manager, who is the subject of this thread.

Yes, I have already had my bolo king!

He changed the game today, completely earned his money. I honestly didn't know what the answer was when we were 1-0 up in the 2nd half.... it felt like we were inevitably going to concede but he made the changes and we go 2 up.

He 100% knows we need to be better to hold a position like 6th in the league but we will be. Brighton will be a huge test for him.
