We had one shot before the red card. They had 10 at that stage.
We had 40.3% possession at that stage.
We never looked like getting anything out of the game at any point.

This week has royally fudged him
Losing son
Losing Bergwein when he was looking like a player (yep people will still say he is crap but we missed him)
Losing the argies
Losing Sanchez
The losing dier
And having most of the squad away until 48 hours ago
It’s bonkers IMO
Indeed. And that was before the issues around the international break. Not just losing players both from injury and the Covid situation but not being able to work with players and it’s a constant that after an international break teams are slower. Palace didn’t have this issue as most of their players were training all week. Final nail in the coffin was getting Manager of the month award
We don’t have that good a squad, we were always going to have bumps in the road like this - nothing to get dramatic about…..

He was bringing on Gil at that point wasn’t he

I’m going to cut him some slack At least till Christmas

Arthur Rowe
Before the penalty was awarded I thought it was looking like another 1-0 win for us.
Agreed, transitional season. He's brought us some shape in the first 3 games, and quicker than most would have hoped. Next thing is some bravery and some front-foot football

Have too
The over reaction is always big after a game like that
No credit in the bank either

I have no faith in him, have been very concerned even before today but he deserves the season in my opinion at a minimum. We've appointed him so he needs a fair crack of the whip.
And I've been spectacularly wrong about literally all of our managers since Christian Gross so the fact I don't rate him should make him a bullet proof success.

I’m still stunned anyone expected anything before that game
Lost half a team - check
Manager of the month hoodoo - check
Daft kick off time after internationals- check
then look at the game… lost Dier after 6 mins form a mistake by Hugo
Lose Tanganga when arguably they could have lost zaha before hand
I mean the football gods were absolutely dumping on us this week

I don't like the 4-3-3 formation and the defensive way we play. I don't like his selections. I don't like the fact there are some worrying noises coming out of the camp (and I don't believe it's Ck66). I don't like his in game management.
I do understand he had a massive amount dumped on him today and he does need to start somewhere with giving us a solid base. The loss today doesn't even bother me that much because everything was stacked against us. But the manner of the performance was really poor. And it had been coming. We've been unconvincing in the Wolves and Watford games. I can see a bit of a hiding next week against the Chavs.
Lose that and the game after becomes huge... its the NLD I think.

David Ginola
His style is a little ponderous so I’m not too sure it’s going to fit my ideals of football.
I see our friend Mr P had another good result, I do like that man’s style of play his team shows.

Not sure where the '1' was coming from. Our XG was 0.1. Today we probably gave the most pathetic attacking performance in PL history. 0-0 was the very best we were going to do in that game and that would've been smash and grab.

Mark Falco
I don’t like 4-3-3 myself
But we have had a few managers now wanting to go that way
The noises out of the camp are just that IMO. Noise with no substance or source
And today was exactly as I expected except for the red card
People need to look back and see even under Poch we struggled post internationals. Most sides do. Chelsea are being outplayed by Villa right now. They are the favs for the league too

Potter is on his way at the end of the season, just do not know whether it is to us or Arsenal.

Luka Modric
Chelsea are 2-0 up and looking a million times more of an attacking threat than we did today against a worse team than the one they are facing. I have been impressed with Villa though, I think they may well finish above us this season.

I'm genuinely not pinning my view on today. The wolves and Watford games were a bit of a worry. I was very encouraged by City to be fair but when I put the four games together, I'm seeing a side that will struggle to challenge for top 6 in my view.
The guy deserves time to see what he can do. It's very early days so please don't take my skepticism as me thinking he should be fired or anything. My feeling at the moment is that he will fail and fail hard. But having appointed him he deserves time to do that or prove that people like me have no idea what we're talking about.

I'm with you here. I think it will be a long season (and I don't mean long as in that we'll go far in all of the Cups). Nuno deserves time but I don't see us doing any better than last year's 7th place finish and I think we could even drop a place or two from there.
