Funny, I think quite a lot of the fan base did agree, but many didn't like the fact he was stating it in public and especially after a poor run of form and without taking any responsibilities himself. Fans are a funny sort, we'll make all sorts of arguments and debates on here with a large range of opinions, but go outside the fan base and fans instinctively defend their tribe even if they otherwise disagree. The desire to protect the herd is very strong.
On the contrary, Arse lost Saliba to injury in the EL, that is a huge part of their drop in form.
A player can get injured in any game regardless of what competition it is. But yeah for sure Saliba has been missed by them.
That was their gamble to play him
Well yeah, therefore playing a load of EL games means you are almost certain to lose a few players, that is my point.
I think you write the cup off and gamble on it
OK so he was sacked for telling home truths about the owners of the club then…. Either way it has clearly fcuked our season.
That never quite works for us. We never have enough depth to play a decent quality mixed side. It's always guys who haven't played in eons and there is usually a reason why that is. If we pick a youth side they probably get knocked out in embarrassing fashion unless that year we happen to have an exceptional crop of players all coming through at the time.
I’d be happy then getting knocked out but getting the experience
Our fans probably supported it in truth because watching us was making their eyes bleed.
And also throwing the entire team under the bus, you don't come back from that regardless of the owner comments.
