The jerk of the knee.

They need a Roy/Sam/Tony/Sean style steadying hand to survive; and only then get someone decent in.

i would hope that the 3 relegated teams come from the current bottom 4 - Leeds, Everton, Bournemouth and Southampton, however, i am quite worried. The bottom 2 have spent big in the Jan window, so this could come good, and clearly Dyche at Everton is making a difference.

I don't think we have really performed this season, regardless of points to date, and overall we look weaker than last season.
Our 'style' of play is also questionable. We don't have the midfield to pass put from the back, but persist with this every week regardless of personnel - Tomkins and Richard do not possess the passing ability of Andersen.
We have looked vulnerable on the wings all season yet nothing seems to get addressed in games to counter this e.g. Spurs wingbacks had so much freedom to come forward a few weeks ago. At H/T despite playing well i said we needed to cut this supply out. Instead the 1st go came from a cross from the LWB and the 3rd was scored by the RWB.
We play the same formation and team almost every week and our top 4 whilst talented are a pretty lazy bunch with no heading ability.
I have said for ages i am not sure we can play Eze and Olise is the same team alongside Zaha. I think PV is finally realising this.
Ultimately we do not score enough goals. Without goals we will always struggle.
Hopefully PV can sort this out as i want him to succeed, however, things cannot continue as they are now.

They might have cast eyes in the direction of Carlos Corberan.

He took Huddersfield to the play-off final the season after they finished in 20th place.

This season when he took over at WBA after 16 games, the 'Baggies' were second from bottom in the table.Currently, after 29 games they are in the play-off places, in 6th.

Leeds have just announced the sacking of Jesse Marsch.
He has just brought in coach Chris Armas whom he has worked with before.Armas was assistant to Rangnick at Man Utd.

Frankly,if we are to stay in the Premiership,we should urgently look to appoint Sam or Roy,to guarantee survival.
Otherwise,stay with Mr.Nice Guy PV,who is slowly but surely leading us to the Championship.
