Lopetegui (sacked 8.1.2025)

Post maverick180 »

I was thoroughly looking forward to the start of this season

Was also prepared that things might take some time and wasn't expecting miracles over night What I didn't expect was a manager who after spending 6 weeks with the total dross he'd been left by Moyes would deem them fit to start in a premier league game And low and behold all of them played absolute shit

We're now 1 game in and none of our new players are any closer to bedding in or learning anything from their new team mates cos they barely spent a second on the pitch, half of them not at all I think it's gonna take somewhere between 6-10 games before we see the team anyone with an ounce of sense would play cos this bloke can't identify shit when he see's it I thought we was handed a miracle at half time when we went in level and low and behold he changed nothing I'm sure people are gonna make excuses for him and say it's too early to judge

But from what I've just seen today, this cսnt is David Moyes in a mission impossible mask

'Loser Lop' will now limp on until January and we will remain in a relegation battle. A 9-point buffer to the relegation zone is meaningless at this stage of the season.
Just out of interest, how many points would he have to get to be considered not a 'loser'?

I mean at the moment we're on 18 from 15. Equates to an end of season projection of about 47....enough to comfortably avoid relegation and finish around 13th.

If we assume that there is eventually some kind of upward trend in performance, and we pick up a few more than we have until now....say he finishes with more like 50 to 55 points...is he still 'Loser Lop'?

Interested at what point your narrative is determined to be wrong?

What an absolute disaster.
 
you're a fucking disaster when it comes to talking football.
do you think Fullkrug is fit to start? there's a reason he only got 10min at Leicester.

otherwise, Kudus wasn't playing as a #9. Bowen played through the middle.
It appears his football knowledge is on a par with his superior political views and we should all be falling at his feet in gratitude for his sapiential pronounciations on these subjects.
Excuse me, but you’ve been following me around bleating like this for a few days. Have you tried just not reacting or, if the compulsion overwhelms you, just ignoring my posts? After all, I don’t recall ever addressing any posts to you, and I’m certainly not charged with taking care of you.

I read that as we all agree the manager is in over his head, but we’re not going to make a change because we don’t want to pay for it.

After the debacle of last week, calling a meeting then NOT sacking him,  it would be absolutely farcical to sack him after winning a "must win" game, regardless of the performance.

The board are absolutely to blame for the entire situation.

I’m not saying anyone’s right or wrong for there opinion either way before the game as who knows but changing it based on one awful game against a struggling team is ridiculous 
That wasn't my point at all, of course he still needs to go. My point was there is always one who sees themselves as a bit ''special'' and needs to stick their chest out after a win and pretty much state the obvious anyway..

Moany
You seem to be struggling with the concept of a forum
People react to events & post their opinion. Sometimes that is in the form of what THEY would do
You seem to think no one should post an opinion if you don’t think it is likely to occur

It appears your life in Asia gargling the cum of 12yo ladyboys is rotting your brain

I think Moyes till the end of the season would be palatable enough. Just to ensure that we maintain our PL status.

Then in the summer have another go at appointing someone new.
What a f&cking idiot.... what makes you think Moyes could do a job his last 6 months totalled 4 wins and a win stat of 22% yeah great idea.... regardless of the fact we'd be an absolute laughing stock, Id rather get Fat Sam back... that is how ridiculous that idea is!!!!

Ps cant wait for Nutstain to come out of his padded cell to read these comments!
Fucking Billy showing everyone yet again what a complete cսnt he is. Can’t one of you other wanky fuckwits help him out and explain to him just how fucking retarded he sounds when he posts. Sort it out ffs! Billy has to be king fuckwit!

Why do some insist on coming out with this predictable, look at me bravado after a win. It doesn't matter a fuck what you, or anyone else on here, would do, so why even bother saying it. He ain't getting sacked.

Bunting out, Loppy has won more games than Moyes did in 2024? Thats what I heard on the commentary?  4 wins for Moyes in 2024 but 5 already 😉 for Loppy.

A very very low bar to clear but just shows we really were poor last season after Xmas but conversely aint much better this season. 

22 more points until we’re safe.

On the plus side, we won’t be hearing from COYI for a few days at least.

Expect our owners will look at the table and see us 1 point behind ManU and 2 points behind Spurs and Newcastle and be happy with that, mixing it with the “big boys”

We scraped that win against a side who will be fighting relegation all season.


 Not good enough 😑

As Sullivan clearly sees PL survival as our main aim now, i guess we are stuck with him for the season.

It’s the Avram Grant situation all over again, but with more chance of staying up.

Sullivan out.

Still a few winnable games coming.

Probably fair to let him have this run of games.
