Would much rather clear out these so called "good for the squad" players who shit the bed under every manager

I don't want him here for next season but that performance is not on him. Pathetic absolutely gutless from them and we shouldn't be surprised as they have let us down so often.
He still plays the crap 3-4-3 and chose to leave Danjuma on bench, who scored in last round.

Also why was Moura playing? He’s gone and he’s been crap for years anyways.

Just go now.
I know people will say Stellini was in charge but it’s contes tactics and philosophy and signings and it’s not good enough there is no real glimmer of hope it’s just turgid and boring.

What a fucking absolute waste of our time ever since we sacked poch my god.

At least it’s not as bad as Jose losing to a manager in prison ?
At least that had some comedy in it - this was just embarrassing. Their manager didn't even need to be skulking around the stadium like the Phantom of the fucking Opera sending instructions; any sunday league team would've beaten us tonight.

I would much rather get rid of our sub standard players and also bring in an attacking manager. I would prioritise the manger as you can make that change overnight. I literally cannot wait until we revert to attacking football.

The result was bad but the performance should be enough to sack him. What the fuck is this astute tactician coaching exactly? Sit back, win the ball and hoof it forward. Rinse and repeat.

Just get them gone now. They’re a disgrace to football.

Yeah I can appreciate the football has not been fun particularly when we had it so good under Poch. I just don't have any hope with this squad regardless.

Moura was probably the one player who can hold his head up after his performance. Shocking to say but he was probably our best player alongside Porro

I don't think you will want to see this lot play any style of football...

We don't have the technical players needed to play any kind of possession-based attacking football. And with Kane and Son, we don't have the legs up front to play an aggressive pressing style.

I hate him, I hate 5 at the back I hate this obsession with wing backs, I HATE THE 3 Centre backs and 2 midfielders that are so so easy to work out his tactics are dreadful, he’s been out coached by a championship manager ?
Saying you hate him personally is a little much…

He still plays head down with no end product though. Just fancy on the eyes is all. Love his enthusiasm and application but he's still not good enough.

I have absolutely no interest in him signing a new deal and want a change in the summer. We get the odd result and performance against Palace/City for example and then immediately revert to type, it must be 1 in 5 games I enjoy.

This isn’t a knee jerk reaction from today as this is what we’re consistently seeing under him.

Add Chelsea and then Sheff Utd to this predictable cycle under this management team.

We’re clearly stuck with it for the rest of season, get used to it if you haven’t already.

We won’t finish 4th, we’ll fuck that up when it matters as well.

I reckon Levy will stick with him until 4th is not looking possible/likely. But he's not doing himself any favours by not insisting on a first team starting this game and making progress in the cup. Playing a whole game in front of Sheffield United's reserves with this formation is so tiresome to watch. The players deserve most of the blame, but the manager deserve a fair share too for allowing yet another lackadaisical performance in a season completely riddled with them. He hasn't been able to get any sort of run going this season and it's not good enough from someone supposedly in the elite end of his field and paid accordingly.
