I was on a call the first 20 - saw the OG. Given that it should have been 1-0 in the first 1' I very much will take it.

Damn, their keeper is having an incredible game. If not for him, this game is easily 4-0 or 5-0.

Richy almost score within 40 seconds of the game

That what I meant about 1’. How unlucky of him. 
 

Also this was solid. 
 

 

I don't know what Son plans for his future.  Maybe he wants to go back to Korea and just live, maybe he wants to be a coach, or he wants to live in LA? Who knows but if there is anyway to give him a permanent roll in this club then do it.

Vicario and his little weak passes from goal piss me off. Kick the ball away!

We really put the mid in midfield. We haven't had a competent midfield since Eriksen and Dembele. We have a collection of squad players with no real standout. 
 

The link up play is non-existent and they're turnover prone.

That would have been a great make up play by Gray. Too bad it was saved.

Well that's unlucky, a pass that turned into an undefendable shot.

Only guy in the midfield who can pass is Simons.

I don't know if Frank makes it to the FA Cup matches next month. This team has checked out. He's lost the room. There were rumors of this two weeks ago, but today it looks real. 
 

We've offered nothing going forward, and even less on defense. 

He’s ass 

Mid table coach. Mid table results

And the cycle continues.  New manager, new hope and then completely inconsistent play

New coach, but with what team? Outside of a few guys, I don’t think any of these guys are his players, that he thinks “I have my guy!!”

This team needs a build for an identity. I don’t think this team is built for Frank’s identity for the team. It was barely built for Ange’s identity, if you could call his plan that.

Am I happy with these results? No. But firing him now does ZERO. And just kicks a can down the road another year or two.

Until we commit to a full top to bottom reshaping of this team, the whole organization is committing to being a mid-table team.

I agree, and I'm definitely not advocating for him to be replaced, but I do think the club will get rid of him before he can get his guys in. We're 2-3 transfer periods from having any real players, and that's only if we back Frank and get our 1st choice of targets and not settle for someone at the deadline just to be getting someone. I think we've done that a lot recently. If you want Gibbs White and Eze, get them! Don't settle for Simons at the last minute.

The real question is how is this new group going to run the team? And how do they see Frank in this plan?

Don’t get me wrong, if Levy was in charge, yeah we’re talking about the next guy already. But he’s out and we don’t know how the organization is being run. 

This was a levy hire?

they might let it ride for the season. But if the new group is serious, They sell the new build to the guy they want. 

maybe a pep disciple or an old name for a last hoorah

Frank was hired June 12th. Vinai Venkatesham was appointed in April and "joined" the team in June. You would think he would have had some hand in the hiring of Frank, but you never know. 

Vinai did not want Frank.

He was against the hire from the start.

 

But Levy had ownership, leverage, and final say — so it didn’t really matter what Vinai thought. Levy hired who he wanted, not who the football side wanted.

 

Fast forward:

• Miss out on Eze

• Miss out on Gibbs-White

• Squad doesn’t fit the manager

• No clear identity

 

Levy gets himself fired.

 

Now Vinai’s sitting there like:

 

“I told you Frank was a bad idea.”

 

So now it’s Vinai’s turn. No more half-measures. No more settling. No more deadline panic buys.

 

New manager.

His guy.

His system.

His players.

 

Ball finally rolls on football terms instead of Levy terms.
 

 

—- I made this up with the help of c gpt 

Stories coming out that we are entertaining offers for Brennan Johnson with Crystal Palace interested. 
 

Also, rumors from Romano that we're in on Semenyo. 
 

Crazy period starts in two weeks! 

We play better with 10. 
 

cuz we don’t have to play the Thomas Wank way

I noticed that too. Also Liverpool fall over a lot

Well it seemed inevitable but that's shit from Romero

After the Richarlison goal, I predict Spurs will be tied up only to blow it late in stoppage

Simons is the caliber of player you get when you're incompetent enough to blow the Eze and Gibbs-White transfers. 
 

Fucking awful. 

As much as I'm in the "we can't keep firing managers and have to give them a chance esp with injuries".  I can't imagine Frank is going to survive this position in the table.  Esp with this being a Levy hire
