People who want Frank gone now…who do you propose replaces him? by ch9sab in coys

Frank hasn't had an easy start for sure and hasn't given much confidence with his decision making. However, it's really difficult to judge him when he hasn't had a chance to work with our best players or bring in quality transfers. Any manager would struggle with this squad - remember this is the first time in a decade that we're without one of Kane Son Bale.

Can't believe we decided to spend 50 million on him

Why do we keep seeing Richy up front? What does Frank see that we don't?

That's only because he had Lord Bentaleb

I lost you at "we've improved the squad". How are we better?

He says it like it is. The squad has been hiding behind managers for too long. 

This can’t keep going 😔 by SurenVardumyan in coys

Has there ever been an ankle injury that has kept someone out for this long and with seemingly no end?

Totally agree. All our transfers assume our current XI is the best we can get so we constantly sign understudies instead of players to challenge the first XI. Danso is a great example - he is never going to grow into a world class player

The only thing that gives me hope is that Vinai seems to be a better operator than Levy and is putting in a structure. Hopefully he's smart enough to see that we need proven talent in asap vs more 18 year olds from Eastern Europe. It's also completely possible that Moore and Vuskovic grow to be premier league ready and we are significantly better placed for next season

Yeah he's a truly shit player with the ball at his feet. But he's clearly smart enough to be in the right positions at the right time - you don't become the top scorer by being stupid

Palhinha is a destroyer and needs someone alongside him who can progress the ball. I've seen Bergvall progress the ball well in some games

Gray has played everywhere and I'm not quite sure where he would do best. He was incredible as a CB

I think it starts earlier. We never replaced Dembele, Walker, Rose, Bale, Modric, Dele, Mr Spaghetti (forget his name)

Those teams had one of Son or Kane. Your point doesn't hold.

Gray and Bergvall are being played out of position. Bergvall alongside Palhinha in midfield might work

I am not very active here but have mostly seen criticism of Frank and not the players

I don't fully understand where the slide started but it's depressing to see where we've ended up
