Mental ation

The amount of posts I’ve seen about Haramorim standing behind a 21 clock

Yeah mental supporting the manager and team isn't it

Let's see. I'd rather support and see us win at this stage.

I support the club bro

I don’t support a manager

Manager FC is just as cringe as player FC

Well.. obviously?

But how can you expect the club to perform when idiotic fans latch onto the next bandwagon? We need to stand and support the project - otherwise how can anyone succeed?

That's not manager FC or player FC, that's common sense no?

There seems to be a big attempt at a "gotcha" in this thread because I was so anti-ETH but that only came once it became categorical that he had been given enough to succeed and still wasn't going to be able to. I had my doubts earlier than most sure, but still wanted him to do well.

It seems like most ITT and online have made up their minds already - ignoring how we play and everything else because it's set in stone that the concept of wingbacks is scary and we should go back to a 4-2-3-1 because it worked so well before

Yes, last season was bad - but given the context, we were in freefall anyway. It'll take time to properly put in the structure we need but we've seen massive improvements this summer already. We're signing PL proven players and the sales aren't great but we aren't putting up with them.

This is a fundamental shift within the club (all areas) but I think fans just want now now now.. it's not reality. Also, doesn't mean it should be as bad as it has been - but maybe that is the reality.

Beyond the positive things the club has done, being so cynical and depressed about football doesn’t scratch an itch for me like it does for others

If I’m sitting around waiting for a disaster at the start of the season I wouldn’t bother watching

Crazy to me how we’re still at 0 players sold

I would say the only gotcha attempts are yours. All anyone ever says is the fact of how s*** Ruben ball is and the results are even worse than playing style. Otherwise it’s basically same vibes as ETH. Everyone wants the manager to succeed obviously, think you’re always confused by that.

I mean that's just obviously not true - but continue to tell yourself that

What’s not true? Every time everyone wants a manager to succeed. Then the results or playing style or other things suck, and that is discussed. Then we laugh about that or somehow deny it (be2 with eth, and you with ruben). It’s annoying cause the arguments make no sense: the results and style of play are non debatable.

I think the style of play is absolutely debatable

Last season, which everyone is still hanging their hat on, the results were not good enough. No one is going to argue that.

But the style of play is absolutely not the issue. It was an issue of course, but it's not to the level being made out. There were a chunk of examples last season where we played comfortable wins, only to lose 3-0. The coaches/fans can't put it in the back of the net for them lol

Keeping teams in games because we couldn't hit a barn door, to then add two of the most prolific PL goal getters and the best U23 striker in the market? You can see why I'm extremely hopeful here

We still suffer from the wrong personnel - so at times it's absolutely a bit boring, struggling to break the lines - but I'm telling you, if we give this side time to click, Cunha/Mbuemo/Fernandes/Amad etc all learning patterns and movement, Sesko gets scoring, Licha breaking the lines - all of the 'this is defensive boring slop' talk will go out the window

There's been a few examples this pre-season in that PL Series thing where we've been absolutely rocking - but it won't be acknowledged because minds have been made up that this is going nowhere.. and that's my point really. It's all too negative, too critical and you can see why I'd come out of that thinking "yeah right do these lot want this to work"

I guess it is debatable cause I think what everyone watched was 500 passes at the back and amad or Bruno bailing the team out against relegation sides. I hope it’s better this year, but the whole it’s too critical / id again say it’s the opposite and we give Ruben a lot of space due to his cheerful vibe especially compared to ETH - which was just as boring on the pitch but produced better results.

Either way no debating he’s gonna get time to figure it out. 5th is my prediction somehow.

70m in new sponsors, Collyer loan.. bring me Baleba

I heard the diarra guy they just signed af Sunderland is sick. I wish we could get the balebas before they’re 100M and overpriced like surely there’s at least a few next solid to excellent potential midfielders out there that could learn some s*** under Casemiro and Bruno before becoming regular starters.
