As a previous poster said - why obsess over the last 4 games - it is the last 30 + games overall that is the problem.
Some players have changed but we are still not good as a Team and therein lies the problem.
The players have the talent but it needs to be managed and directed and it is not happening and hasn't happened for a while.
Yes - of course we expected Liverpool to win against us - they are on fire but we didn't help ourselves.
Leicester away - I expected a draw and the stats suggest that is what should have happened - it didn't.
One point from West Brom, Bournemouth and West Ham at home - one wretched point - I expected at least five or six from those games.
We don't look like a team who knows what they are doing or what their plan is.
Some of our transfers over the AP's tenure beggar belief in my opinion.
After the Liverpool game AP spoke abpout the Ref who shouldn't have been allowed to ref the game after last season.
He spoke about Townsend wanting to play on the right but we have Wilf there - did he not work that out (like many of us did) when he bought him and sold our main left sided player - Bolasie (who was sick of playing centre forward)!
He spoke about us not being a team who let in goals from set pieces (other than the previous 6 this season - total now 8 in 10 games).
He didn't talk much about the actual game - I wonder what planet he is on some times.
The opportunity is there for it to be so different and so much better but we need the Team to be managed and for there to be a game plan.
I know he doesn't have every player he wants - not many teams do.
But this is effectively his Team now so there are no excuses.
But for the FA Cup last season he would be gone.
We are in poor form and I for one hope that changes on Saturday because in an ideal world AP will make it work and we will flourish.
A few more losses and the knives will really be out I'm afraid.
Football is a harsh and sometimes unfair world but it is results that matter and AP has been given a lot of time so far.
I do not advocate sacking Managers for the sake of it - it is pointless sometimes - but subject to where we are come the end of the month it could be open season in South East London
