I knew after the last two results some idiots would start the Guidolin out comments and posts. He doesn't have any say in transfers neither did Monk last summer and I think this is the poorest squad since we arrived in Prem. As much as I was 50/50 about Monk going I will hold my hands up and admit now I was probably wrong wanting Laudrup gone at the time he did. The clear common factor is the signings be it the poor quality and lack of them. The clubs internal structure is shambolic and I think firstly Francesco will sadly go as the scapegoat we will be in dire straights come Jan and it will be free fall from there, I hope I am wrong and said before a ball was kicked this season we would go down not on the back of last week or today I am stating this purely on lack of quality and depth in our squad. Jenkins has done a great job up until the last two years where it has been regression for our club too much jobs for the boys and narrow minded Welsh way of thinking from Huw and co.

So you wanted the best manager we have had (Laurdrup) out, who got us playing some of the greatest football i have ever seen and won us a trophy and took us past the league stage of the Europa league. Yet you're criticising people saying the same about an average manager who has us playing poor football who cannot even communicate with the players properly. | | | |

How anybody could be 50/50 over Monk going boggles my mind. If you were 50/50 in the Summer I could understand. |  | | |

We are playing like total strangers
We have no agape and look cluless
That is down to the management
Yes huw is making it hard and should realy fu@k off as he has becom hero to villan
But the way the team practice,there shape,and tactics is down to him
And lets face it we have no shape we cant pass and we have gone backwards. | | | |

Laudrup and tutu were the last ones with a pulse on transfers, since then the swansea way went and so did clever signings like chico,michu,Pablo, JDG etc.
FG is a good coach, his reputation is solid, the problem we have is that our skill set in terms of quality players is getting eroded every season and not replaced .
Pablo -dyer
Chico - fernandez
JDG-KI
Bony -gomis

It's not hard to see the problem really. The inspiring signings are becoming fewer and fewer and the quality is getting watered down every transfer window.

Well Quincy then who f'ing bells fault is it for picking a manager that supposedly can't communicate with the team. I admit it has gone downhill since Laudrup left and respect him for having balls to stand up to Jenkins and for the why can anyone be 50/50 over monk well simply because I thought it was almost inevitable and the correct thing to do but again he didn't recruit the players.
And the last comment about being the managers fault baffles me more as this was the manager everybody in stadium and players talking they loved playing for at end of last season.
He and Curtis saved us last season but now he is hopeless in some eyes! | | | |

Icecoldjack spot on again mate he had a pulse on signings and that's why I admit I was Wrong and can admit it like a man now.

Completely misguided to blame Guidolin. He did an excellent job when he came in but the board have been shambolic in the transfer window. I hope that people direct their frustrations at the right people. | | | |

I think many people including Huw fell for the fact that he was italian like Ranieri and thought that somehow the italian way of playing was the next thing.
I was in the stadium at the end of last season and i wasn't singing his praises. The loss to Southampton springs to mind and the fact that he still hasn't sorted us out at set pieces and we still arn't playing better foofball than Monk. | | | |

Amat was a Laudrup signing I believe, Taylor was here before Ben if he hadn't had a nasty injury Ben may never have broken through whilst it appear Laudrup had "spotted" his potential Taylor was still his first choice. | |

I confess to knowing very little about football tactics, but.....
Mr Guidolin, it is so obvious that even Stevie Wonder could see it that we have no clue when it comes to defending corners. The world and his wife has commented on this and the stats prove it.
Can anybody tell me why we are paying so much money to a coach who cannot or does not sort out something so basic as this. I'm at a loss, I really am. |  |

My point was specifically about us not getting stronger as tine passes by. Not so much a Laudrup thing just that signings since those days don't really hold up to what we had back then.
Consider the budget we had then and the budget we've had since, unbelievable really that 5 yrs later we look as fragile as our first steps in the prem league.
It points to a miss manage of transfer funds and lack of
knowledge of players.
Ngog and Emnes ? All a bit mad really. | | | |

Ok I follow.... Whilst I have been a critic of HJ maybe we need to look at Leadbetter too.
It is worrying the quality of recruitment but we are still only 3 games in | |

If I was being paid a five figure salary each week to defend set pieces, I'd like to think I'd have enough professional skill and knowledge not to have to have my manager show me how to do it.
It's not as if they've never played football before or know what to expect from the opposition. | | | |

Maybe senior FG has tried to sort the mess out, at the end of the day some one with his track record doesnt become a bad manager overnight. He's probably asked for the players he wants signed only to be given HJ players. Maybe FG is quite happy for this mess to continue to make people sit up and smell the coffee. I doubt for one minute any of these signings this window were of FG choice. | | | |

Someone said to me on the way out of the ground that this is our worst starting XI since we've been in the PL. I didn't agree at the time but when you look at the respective sides, it's hard to argue against really.
Vorm, Rangel, Williams, Caulker, Taylor, Leon, Allen, Sigurdsson, Sinclair, Dyer, Graham
Fabianski, Naugton, Amat, Fernandez, Kingsley, Cork, Fer, Sigurdsson, Barrow, Routledge, Llorente |  | | |

Wouldn't really argue there.
Also consider the style of football and Laudrups vintage team and we are a long way from what we were.
I see teams like hull and fester using the ball far better than us, yet we pride ourselves on our style of football.
It's been on the slide for ages and I fear we neither have the players or confidence to bring it back.
See fernandez constantly hoof it out of play, hoof it up the field or pass to an opposition player.
We've not had defenders like that for about 10 yrs, and we paid £8m quid for the privilege. Shows where the team has been heading with its transfer policy . Chico for fernandez. | | | |
