100% yes.

I love high tempo, creative football. Palhinha doesn’t fit inside that in any role. He can’t do the one thing I value the most. Now, because we already have him, I’m happy for him to protect leads for the last 10 to 15 mins of games but I’d be getting rid of him as soon as I could.

Spot on. That was so fun. Desperately want more of that

Easily best performance of the season. Playing quickly to feet through the middle of the pitch gave our attackers the best platform they’ve had all year. More of that and we’ll be firing on all cylinders. So much more fun to watch. I love it. Xavi immense. Archie had an incredible game too! Huge fan

Getting the ball to feet, quickly and in the middle of the pitch definitely helped! Was our best performance all season. Something to build on!

We have players who can play better football. I just want to see him take a risk. Play a midfield 3 of Xavi, Gray and Bergvall/Sarr on the weekend. Odobert/Tel on the left. See what happens. Can't be any worse than what we're watching.
December 2, 2025 at 10:59 PM
And Palhinha. Never want to see him on the pitch for us again.
December 2, 2025 at 10:45 PM
AWFUL football. Give me this team on the weekend. Please Thomas. Just let us see if it will work better than the current slop.

Kolo Muani
Odobert/Tel Xavi Kudus
Gray Bergvall
Udogie Micky Romero Porro
Vic

Absolutely both were targeting the fans.

I just think that Thomas has not really enamoured himself with the fans in any way so is getting way more stick for it.
December 2, 2025 at 10:20 PM
Easy mate. Talking about people whinging about being called out for booing our own players and adults complaining about someone cupping their ear
December 2, 2025 at 10:15 PM
Fans who boo our own players are fucking idiots and Frank is right to call them out. Cupping the ear was funny. Both have seemed to piss people off. Grow up
December 2, 2025 at 10:10 PM
It's giving real throw everyone and everything under the bus to save myself vibes from Thomas at the moment. Not really the unifying message you want to be seeing right now.
December 2, 2025 at 1:29 AM
Not really inspiring belief amongst the players with comments like these
December 2, 2025 at 1:26 AM
And we should be getting right behind the players. It's not their fault we're playing dreadful football. They're just following orders. Thomas is the one everyone should be pissed off with.

A passer would help immensely. But we ignore the middle of the pitch anyway. I hope it would be as simple as better players and we'll be better but the plans on the pitch at the moment are so bland and predictable. A better passer isn't really going to change that
November 30, 2025 at 11:15 PM
I would love if Frank could change. He's too risk averse. He's so scared by what the other team could do. We should be setting up to dominate most teams in the league. I'd also love to see something other than spamming crosses too. It's just so shit to watch
November 30, 2025 at 11:10 PM
I would be 100% on board with a long term build if the manager chosen had a footballing philosophy that builds on the first 2 years of the build. He doesn't so we've wasted another 2 years in order to start again.
November 30, 2025 at 11:07 PM
Stupid, infuriating, glorious club. The rebuild was starting with Ange, playing that kind of progressive style, players bought for the club, not necessarily the manager. Managers to follow in that style and then we throw all that away immediately and go back to Jose/nuno/conte boring ball. Stupid
November 30, 2025 at 11:05 PM
17th is meaningless. We were never under threat of relegation. Don't forget all the games with Gray and Davies at CB. Lack of depth was the killer last season.

How would you feel if we played full strength in the premier league and finished 10th instead of prioritise europa and win it?
November 30, 2025 at 11:02 PM
The second half yesterday was so much better. We barely did any defending because we controlled the ball and the territory. However, we still create nothing. There are no rotations, no patterns that get us into dangerous positions. The players are good enough to score plenty of goals.
November 30, 2025 at 10:58 PM
Hahaha that's funny.

I just think that being crap because of a dire lack of depth and being crap by choice are not quite the same things.
