• Everyone can see the problem Steve, and yes it stops with the manager - but not whole lot of solutions been put up by anyone on this page bar bitching & moaning. The main observation being these players are shite and that we shouldn't be playing Beto, Barry, Rohl, Dibling - delete as appropriate. Thats all great, but its £130m of botched transfer fees plus wages, and no world beaters to come into replace them anytime soon. So what's the plan, banish these to the reserves & play with 8? Frustrating, but it is a case of waiting for the better players to come back or get the cheque book out. We can play the kids, but most arent good enough....

• John 43 I think to many fans these days want instant results from managers, it takes time and a few windows to turn a club around, and depending where you were when he took then the time line for change may take a little longer. Ferguson took 6 years before winning a trophy he wouldnt get that time today. Our most successful manager was close to being sacked with fans demonstrating against him and garage doors being daubed with Kendal out on them. Amorin and Maresca have said about inteference from above making their job infinitely harder, when others are choosing which players to buy and who to sell, how a modern manager survives in that environment I don't know. I think Moyes may have had a bit of this in the buying of our younger players. That's why Amorin said I came here to be a manager not a coach. Why multi million pound businesses allow anybody other than the manager to buy players is madness. Arteta has won 1 trophy in 5 years but looke by sticking with him Arsenal may ...

• You cannot make a silk purse out of a sows ear !! Lets be realistic, we have very few quality players, with the exception of Pickford, how many of our players would get into any of the top teams in the league. I think you all know the answer ! I know some will look at Branthwaite, but lets face it, last season and now this season, he has and will play very few PL games. Has he become a sick note, what would his currant value be ? As for managers, Moyes gets a lot of stick, but we also have managers like Frank and Glasner who are now some of the worse managers in the league, according to fans and pundits....
