I wasnt the one that decided to use the Klopp/Arteta analogy. It's a fact that they didnt finish 15th position and if they did, they would have been kicked out even before the season ended....

Amorim is currently one of the worst managers to have graced the EPL and he needs to punch above his weight to get that horrible reputation off his back.

Downward spiral my foot.

He literally brought the club to its knees last season....breaking unspeakable records left right and centre!



Amorim dreadful performance last season has made it such that a 7th position finish this season would still be acceptable to many.

The standards and expectations are currently at an all time low!!

What is your minimum expectation for the season?

Ellexy:
What if Amorim finishes 15th again this season, will you still be backing him long term?

With the significant investment we have made and the fact that we are not participating in any continental competition, Amorim has no excuse not to make top 4.

I am a CR7 fan boy but brining CR7 was one of the things that destabilized OLE’s team. Even Maguire mentioned it in his interview.

You could see that the team was trying to play a style that would fit CR7.

Well he brought Ronaldo that cost him his job, but they should have given him more time

On the basis of that season, No!

dreamxhaser:
I hated ETH Becuse there was no signs of progress in his style

But there are signs with Amorim, even OLE had signs and I felt the club shouldn’t have sacked him

With Ole, we made progress up to a point and then stagnated before going on a downward spiral. Ole did a good job in stabilising the team but he just couldn't take us to the next level.

Jamiuokolaa:
If Klopp had finished 15th with Liverpool, he would probably be an assistant coach in a 5th Tier league somewhere in Cyprus or Malta at the moment!

Last season, Amorim was literally dragging position with the likes of Nathan Jones, Paul Jewel, Frank de Boer etc as the worst manager in the history of the Premier league.

It was a dreadful performance and there is really no need trying to sugar-coat it!

This was just a general review of how things have panned out at the club in relation to the coaches we have had over the past couple of years. How you managed to narrow it down to Amorim who took over when we were visibly on a downward spiral is typical of you.

Let's see what Amorim has to offer between now and October. The team has been reasonably reinforced, so he has no excuse not to make top 4 especially when you consider the fact that we have no European football to distract the players.

dreamxhaser:
Arsenal finished 8th, 8th, and 5th in Arteta’s first three seasons. They stuck by him through the growing pains, and now he’s delivered three consecutive top-2 finishes, we would kill to be in that position to be consistently challenging for the title. Klopp’s Liverpool followed a similar arc: 8th, 4th, 4th, 2nd, before winning major trophies in his fifth season. That’s what long-term commitment looks like, trusting the process even when results aren’t immediate.

The key word is progress. In those years Liverpool didn't win, we saw progress on the pitch and the league table. It was the same with Arsenal...

In our case, it's an up and down slope which is unacceptable. Let Arteta dare finish 8th with the current team and see if he won't be chased with a cutlass from Arsenal.

TrebleChamp:
We should have gone for a Manager that plays 433 counter attack football, time will tell whether Dan Ashworth was right in objecting to Appointing Amorim as Coach. Although him allegedly recommending Southgate was a sackable offence...

If Ashworth was here, he'd be smiling until he gets to the bolded...😂 😂 😂

everton4life:
I can't believe I ever defended Garnacho.

That boy is very stupid.

He has completely lost it...

afrodoc2:
He should train alone. You can't overestimate the amount of damage he could do by being around those academy prospects on a daily basis.

True that...

Garnacho thinks he is all that. The club should not shift grounds, if Chelsea refuses to pay the fee demanded, let him train with the reserves for the next 3 years. A terrible personality.

Liverpool is still the team to beat, regardless.

engrelvis:
There is no way we can pay that huge amount for Baleba.lf they do it simply means we are not broke

That's what it will take for you to believe we are not broke?

Cunha, Mbeumo and Sesko were not enough? 😂😂😂

Where is that guy who was writing plenty about Wirtz...I hope he is watching the game.

Wirtz na fine footballer.

afrodoc2:
Without actual competent central midfielders are going to struggle this season. I have been saying this since the US Tour. If we can't afford Baleba we should get someone more affordable.

With this squad as it is sha we have to make Europe no matter what and it is reasonable to expect Top 5.

True that...To really make that jump, we need a competent midfielder. I will say two and not one.

The second half was not it at all. I don't know if the players tired out as the game wore on or if it was deliberate just to conserve energy but we will get a clearer picture in the coming weeks when competitive football returns...One thing is certain, we can't play at such a tempo (2nd half) if we really want to be right up there...

I notice that both Cunha and Mbeumo are not really interested in taking up positions in and around the box, and that's where Sesko comes in...The more I watch Cunha and Mbeumo, the more the decision to get Sesko makes sense to me...

In the midfield, Bruno is a ticking time bomb and for some reason, Amorim won't take him off...At this point, I don't know if it's possible but I do hope we sign at least two midfielders.

We are playing more in the opposition zone because the quality up front has improved. We are lacking that presence in and around the box which is where Sesko should fit in...

Mount has had a decent game leading the press from the front...Talking about our press, I think the coaches are working on it, still not perfect but there's improvement there.

Mrviktor:
If this is our gameplan for arsenal then we will chop more than 4 goals in that game.

All vibes no bite

Na you sef!

I think say na another person talk this thing...😂

TrebleChamp:
Non of the current 4 midfielders will work in this 343 system. If they cannot get Baleba this window, then they should go for very good cheaper alternatives. We need at least 2 midfielders who are confident receiving the ball and drive forward.

I have been hammering on the fact that we need to sign not one but two midfielders (a DM and a CM)...I hope that after Baleba, we can sign another CM. Casemiro is not an option for me.

KingTom:
Bros this kin blocking fit turn you to bricklayer o

Baba I weak...I can guess some of the names there.

everton4life:
Make una dey play.
Una still get time to dey argue back and forth

Lol...Your block list is rich...😂

engrelvis:
No mata how talented ur lf u lack character u cannever go far. imagine the audacity of wearing Aston Villa shirt while still a man utd player? For some people information Ganarcho reckless behaviour did not start with Amorim. let him go before he start corrupting other players

Now this is how your identify someone that does not have an agenda against the coach. He is critical of Amorim but he draws the line here...

odizeey:
You want him to keep someone who's not ready to learn so that work will spoil in his hands abi?

Na him born Garnacho?

Make him go meet his papa for guidance

I hope it is now clear that nitrogen and his goons are all for the failure of the manager. If you call them out they'll say you're intolerant towards those with divergent opinions but we all can see that theirs is from a place of hate.

Rashford disrespected the coach, the management and fans by going to the press to say he needs a new challenge even when he is still contracted to the club.

Garnacho ran to the press because he was benched for an important game.

They expect the manager and club to pamper such entitled players to the team's detriment. I will ask them to observe Rashford at Barcelona and Garnacho if he joins Chelsea, they won't try such nonsense...

Sancho is another example, he was out on loan but was posting all manner of cryptic messages against Manchester United, his parent club. There was a time he couldn't get a game at Chelsea, but he didn't go to press, he worked hard and got back the trust of Maresca, but if he were here, he'd start throwing tantrums and trust the likes of nitrogen to jump on his defence.

Sterling has not uttered a word of mistreatment at Chelsea, and Chilwell too. How about Grealish at City and other top players who hardly ever feature for their team, but no, we should tolerate such behaviours here because Garnacho is 21 years old. Will Fergie tolerate such? Will Pep? Will Mou?

Make season do start so that person go stop to dey read nonsense for here.

I no get time to answer una so make una continue...

Club dey sign players to improve the team, fans dey vex...See them already predicting doom...Una never hala...

Chelsea fans don dey ask whether na the right decision they dey make to sell Jackson because of Delap...

Whatever happens, we will be there.

Ellexy:
Agenda no dey allow people see clear again. The disrespect then wasn't about the facilities na, he refused to show up for preseason. Two things can be true at the same time haba.

It's funny to me, so if Ronaldo didn't speak out, INEOS wouldn't have done this?

Siu fans na problem...

eph12:
Not that the players needed some sort discipline and to be put in their place?

Why are you wasting your time?

diggz:
The major issue for me is Lavia staying fit throughout the season, which is almost impossible. Everyone is aware that with a fit Lavia, our chances increase greatly by over 80%. But if it’s just Caicedo and the ghost worker in that midfield, then we’re in for a long ride. I imagine we’re not signing any DM because Maresca has decided that James is the DM that would cover for Lavia when the latter is unavailable. Na siddon look naim remain right now.

I thought you guys signed Essugo?

nitrogen:
Mbuemo and Sesko are too expensive for 65-76m pounds. Does not make sense, same way we signed Erasmus and Antony for 80m each.

Okay...

nitrogen:
I am okay with the signings, but they are too expensive.

Which of them?

airmark:
Raumdeuter I will be so happy for you and your club. You must taste the poison you supported next season.

No never start, your neck go break this summer...As you don hawk Jackson around Old Trafford nobody answer you, now na Allianz Arena you don reach...Carry am go meet Conte for Napoli.

afrodoc:
Shameless.

Imagine a supposed fan being angry that the club he supports is strengthening. This is Witchcraft!
