Also, why did we sign Sorloth? Signed under Roy but maybe he has no say in transfers then? The whole situation is odd. We need signings in January that Hodgson wants and who are first team material. |

That may be true, but I think Exiled's point is (and Id probably agree) that telling your subs via the media that they're basically unuseable isn't the best way to instill confidence in a side thats treading water above the relegation zone.

Now that the omnishambles of our recruitment policy over recent years is biting us on the bum, is he not allowed to deflect at least some of the mountain of crap that has been poured on him by pointing out, in the mildest of ways, what 90% of the contributors to these boards know to be true? |

I just think in the position we were in at HT nothing ventured nothing gained.

He's been paid a bucket-load to manage. His job is to get the best out of the squad as his disposal not to do a PR job on himself (if thats what you're suggesting) and 'deflect' any crap poured on him. |

Interesting that you omit the first paragraph of my post.

Saying the subs aren't good enough is not good man management, it's just excuses some of those players played well when we had injuries last season and hearing that not for the first time must piss them off.
He doesn't know how to change things when it's not working. I reckon he picks the starting 11 regardless of opposition and spends training working on the set up (usually the same as the last game) sometimes it works but it hasn't worked this season apart from the odd 20 mins here and there, or when the oppo were shite. It was obvious something needed to change at half time but absolutely nothing did. I'm still so pissed off but calming down gradually.

There are many reasons to bring on subs or rotate the team even in the replacements aren’t as good as the starters especially when the team are playing 3 games in 8 days.

I think he has weaknesses, in particular the stubborness that people mention, but you have to balance the argument out a bit. I still think we will stay up under him and I share his concern about the quality of the squad. However, I also share ExiledSterling's concerns about the way he is going about things at the moment, it feels like we are going backwards again as a team. I actually like the formation he is playing at the moment but the key to it is Wilf and Andros pulling deep and wide like they did against Burnley, not just sitting on the centreback like yesterday (Wilf's off the ball movement was non-existent). From his comments after the game it was as if he was expecting us to lose, and that is very disappointing. He is obviously making the point the squad isn't strong enough but he should be trying to install confidence in them all, not putting them down. He deserves the time to sort this out, and to get better support from our recruitment policy, but this sort of negative attitude can't carry on. |

Sorry should have been clearer ... the confidence of any potential replacement player by not trusting them, giving more than one-off opportunities, openly stating he has no options. Even 2nd half of last season we lost a lot of late points due to knackered players losing concentration in last 10 minutes as he didnt trust any of his subs - fine if it happened once, twice .... but repeatedly in 12 mth period is as you say .... stubbornness .... and a serious flaw that has dogged his career.

I still think he deserves time to sort this out, as on occasion we do play some pretty good football and look a proper PL team. What worries me more is what manager we get if he does go, as the obvious firefighters are no longer available. |

Ayew has done nothing Sorloth has done nothing Puncheon has injured de Bruyne Redidewald has ? Kai Kai? Williams? The rest would be defenders/keepers We’ve got nothing. For all Sako’s faults, at least when he came on he tried to make something happen, and under Roy he certainly made an effort.

But on the last part, I think back to the 1-4 loss at Bristol City last year. He slated that lot hard too. PvA was one who was dreadful in that game but later responded really well. |

He's had 7 shots, 1 on target and 4 off target.

The other two they are still trying to locate the ball before giving it a definite yay or nay.
