It all depends what your hopes are. I can not speak for anyone but myself but I really believe that the club is going to start kicking on and move upwards but it all depends on us just getting through this depressing patch. If we get relegated it’s all over but if we stay up this season the rebuilding can begin, it will take time but I do believe it will happen.

On Monday. We were s***, but scored twice.

Ayew made a cross from the right and Mateta scored.

Townsend made a cross from left and Benteke scored.

It created our only two touches in the opposition area.

Today we played Townsend on the right and Ayew on the left.

Anyone know the miracle workers explanation for altering the only two things that went right for us in attack?

I agree with this, AT on left has been more productive as far as I can recall.

I am in the " get through this weird year/season as aPL team and look forward to the changes we will have to make because of contracts if nothing else" corner

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Where do people get this mad idea that Parish doesn't care what supporters think, or about anything other than money?

Childish nonsense.

This.
Let’s not look at our short comings going forward tho - we defended really well and that’s all we can hope for apparently! What a joke.

Let me check my " give a flying f***ometer "on Jonathan Pearce's opinion of the attractiveness of managing CPFC as a job. As I suspected, not a flicker of the needle.

Perhaps we should poll some other commentators for balance.

Pearce commentates on us and has for years. He is as qualified to have an opinion like all of us. Because some disagree doesn't make them wrong.

So the game was derided by the BBC and its commentary team and rightly so, but was the Chelsea v Man Utd any better? NO it wasn’t it was dire too, yet these teams had their best 11 on the pitch.

We have now worked our way into a safe position within a week, sure we have got some tough fixtures coming, but is anyone setting the world alight apart from Man City? Again it’s a big fat NO!

All the games coming up are a free hit now and we will get a few more points. Until we have the fans back in the stadiums we are going to get some strange results and our players will definitely go up a gear when they have the fans backing.

Am I seeing things differently to anyone else or are we just plain bad from top to bottom?

We are not just avoiding relegation though, since he's been with us although not keen on the eye we have been very safe from the trap door, it's just recently since this Covid that we've been struggling with increased consistency with our ability to complete a pass and move accordingly ..injuries to key players and not having the needed time to recover from each game and the inconsistency with these games is going to have detrimental effect on our squad purely through their ages, Burnley have been having the same issues and their squad is very much similar in this respect, we have always been a squad that soaks up pressure and attacks at will, players are needed to address this if we want to play more keep ball.
