To stay up I'm afraid to say
With the exception of Fabianski Fernandez ( he has start the next game ) Abraham Bony and possibly Mesa ( who did some good things last night but also always looks capable of giving a goal away as he did again ) none our players are good enough and most now look barely good enough to get into a decent championship side
The gulf in class last night was embarrassing and that's as one sided a game as you will see at this level as they strolled to victory, moving up through the gears at will with, alarmingly, little pressure being applied to the opposition player in possession in contrast to their incredible work ethic when not in possession
It's definitely time for a new manager to come in to freshen things up with four new players in January and there's still hope. It's a time for proven experience IMO. Look at the impact Roy Hodgson has made at Crystal Palace and Sam Allardyce at Everton.

Sigh. Once again I alluded to the other factors in my original post that you keep referring to but it's complete hypothetical nonsense to say we'd be fine under a good manager. There's no evidence to suggest that. There's far more evidence to suggest our squad is dearth of PL quality. |
The opening post, not your original post. Less of the self importance eh champ?
The other factors you are alluding to are the reasons we are bottom. Unless you genuinely think we have the worst set of players in the league. | | | |

They're some of the reasons we're bottom along with the fact that we have, in my opinion, the joint worst squad in the league with West Brom.
Once again, nothing to suggest we'd be fine with a good manager. Baseless, albeit optimistic, trite.

I'd admit to thinking Jack Cork wasn't good enough. He was then snapped up by Burnley, who are now doing very well.
Our squad is pretty good (minus 1 or 2 players), the tactics & motivation are wrong. | | | |

We are not a team of battlers
We are not a team blessed with skilful players.
That makes the team a non entity, with very little balance.
We were a team where the whole was greater than the sum of its parts.
This was down to players who were comfortable on the ball and teamwork where there was always team mates available for the out ball.
We now look a team that has little preparation apart from don’t lose the defensive shape.
We don’t look fit.
To comment on the latest “our season isn’t defined in these games”
No it isn’t these are bonus games where some sort of a result can build on the base where we do the right things against the non top 6 teams.
Our season is defined with home results against teams like Newcastle, Watford, Brighton, Leicester and Bournemouth. Not always a win but a draw gives us 1 extra point per game and the opposition 2 less. Now Bournemouth was a draw but 1 point from 15.......get real
A few weeks ago Paul Clement said we weren’t in a relegation struggle. What did he see that nearly 18,000 home fans couldn’t?
I’ve come away from games thinking how on earth couldn’t we get something from those games? This is a very poor league, it shows by how close to mid table we still are.
I’ve no doubt in my mind that without a change in manager and January strengthening we will drop further away from safety.
9 goals from 17 games. Laughable.
A better defensive record than other teams but that imo is down to the number of players back than good defending tactics | | | |

Which is where we differ.
If you think the promoted teams in particular have players of better calibre than Fabianski, Fernandez, Mawson, Mesa, Ki and Bony, then crack on. There’s something quite heartening about unfounded pessimism. | | | |

That's it? Six players?
Mawson has been terrible all season. Mesa has only played three games and still made critical errors. Bony who has about 10 goals in three and a half seasons.
We're f*cked. | |

All of whom would stroll into Brighton and Huddersfield’s teams, probably West Brom, arguably others. We are trying to stay out of the bottom three, not qualify for Europe. | | | |

Brighton's centrebacks are easily better than Alfie Mawson. | | | |

It's the manager who makes them look worse.
He has to go next week |  |

....and neither is any other aspect of club.
The spectacular fall from mid table mediocrity and football that was easy on the eye to the carnage we have now is very sad.
Everything is inter-linked. Blame the players, blame the Manager, blame the 'DoF', blame the Americans. Question is, who takes responsibility? | | | |

In your opinion may be. Not in mine. The evidence ( league results and position in the table with nine goals scored and very few shots ) all points to us having the weakest squad in the league.
It's plain to see. I also agree that it's unbalanced with not enough pacey options in wide areas. And I'm certain that a different, experienced manager is our only real hope if he can add four new players in Jan while selling some fringe players | |

We have the weakest mindset for attaxk in the league. West brom are close. Every other team including west brom has a better attack. Rodon is an example.
The moment when makalele and the bench dropped their heads when mesa tried to slip an attacking pass to fred was the moment it clearly said to me that we are in the shit.
Fair enough we have tried wingers again however our midfield tactics ate shot as demonstrated by leon keeping us up last year aling with siggy and llorente.
We are nor good enough same as last year. Lost key players and signed players we cannot integrate into a styre that will get goals.
Still time and others may start to falter but we are the worst squad in the league. |  | | |

Genuine question - when have Naughton, Mawson, Olsson, Fer, Carroll, Abraham & Ayew ever looked good at PL level beyond a handful of games? |
Never |  |

Lots of pansies. | |
