And how is this relevant to Roy Hodgson's performance?

Instead of petty digs why not address the point? Is a manager responsible for the below par performance of his players? In you're eyes Roy gets credit for working "miracles" for achieving what Pullis, Pardew and BFS all managed to do. But doesn't take accountability for a 7 game losing streak.

Sam was accountable for our worst ever performance btw 0-4 against Sunderland , Roy is accountable of our best 2-3 against city

I see. Picking out individual results from years ago is looking at the bigger picture.

7 defeats in a row is irrelevant. 15 points since Christmas.

That Man City game was a total fluke in a lot of regards. We had 3 shots on target, one once-in-a-lifetime worldy and one penalty.

Back to the point though.

Do you think managers should be responsible for your players poor performance?

I hardly see how I'm claiming to be a management expert. All I'm saying is that I would expect a big part of their job would be to manage the performance of their staff.

I bet you fail to answer the question yet again.

Yes however OUR TEAM is struggling with confidence, fitness (because of age and games in quick succession) lack of funds, and also a sense of (we have done our job).get behind our club and support regardless because times will get worse , they always do with a club like ours it’s a roller coaster , either your on board , or you get off quickly , I’m on board and I enjoy it , up to the person really , if I was you jee I would enjoy it instead of argueing with people on here , unless you enjoy that ??

I didn’t read that properly , that’s annoyed me, that is a typical armchair fan suggestion

Fair enough, the next 4 words after the ones you highlighted were key.

That result took a mammoth effort from the team, but you also need a lot of luck to win games like that.

Someone once told me that footballs appeal is helped by the fact that it’s one of the only sports where a team can totally outplayed the opposition and still lose.

Hope you are enjoying your beers.
