I'm not sure if this is rhetorical but he has 5 goals in 7 games, 3 in 6 in the league Had 11 in 1300 minutes last season I think if you put current Daka in the U21s he would get a quarter of that at best

Rome probably isn't the best example seen as they had a habit of dispensing of their leaders violently when they weren't up to the job

Yes, so why do we keep playing those players, if we were sat in 14th but had banished the likes of Faes and Soumare and been integrating youth and actually taking a look towards the future then I could live with that, what I can't stand is playing the same old shit who have no future here and expecting things to just magically change

I would argue that a lot of that falls on the manager, a good manager gets the best out of his players, gets the best out of his system and gets the players working hard if he isn't up to the task then find someone who is, we aren't a charity, he is paid to do a job and is incapable of doing it to the expected standard

I mean ultimately regardless of what people think of Skipp, he is miles clear of Soumare and always has been, at least he can be arsed to try and run around a bit Page is away now but wasn't for the previous 8 games he has been banished for, he started twice, we won twice, he got an assist in one of them, and has not seen the bench since Evans might have been way off it in pre season but Daka has about 1 goal in 50 and Ayew last had a 10 goal season over a decade ago, the competition isn't exactly strong, there is no excuse whatsoever for Evans to have 0 minutes when our strikers are this bad

Genuinely other than Still, what manager in the Championship is doing worse with the resources they have available to them this season? At best Cifuentes has been one of the bottom 3 or 4 performing managers in the league this season Alex Neil comfortably outplayed us (and is performing miles better than us) with his Millwall side Hull pulled some bloke who was out there collecting scrabble high scores beforehand and they completely outplayed us The shit squad complaints don't hold much weight when we are currently brushing shoulders with the likes of Oxford, Derby, and Portsmouth

Yes we do, but these aren't mutually exclusive things, we can move on the useless clown of a manager whilst also looking to move on the useless clowns on the pitch too

Why is that weird? Not all youth prospects are the exact same are they??? I want him to play the ones who might improve us, Nelson, Aluko, Evans, Page Thomas was relatively ineffective in the league below and ended up being phased out of their squad, he has also been largely unimpressive in the u21s, I also reiterate he has played FIFTY SEVEN MINUTES, it's not like he has been a part of the side in any substantial way Nelson had a very good showing in the Championship with Oxford last season and is somehow still behind sideshow bob in the pecking order

We are shit, we have a shit owner, a shit DoF, and a shit squad, but we also have a shit manager who is making the squad even worse The only one of those that can easily be changed is the manager, so let's stop defending the clown and focus on what improvements can be made

I feel anyone going to games at this point is sunk cost fallacy, it can't be enjoyable or remotely worth the time and effort

There are lots of managers that actually play youth??? You are acting like every manager is forced to pick the shitters, if Cifuentes wanted to to play youth he could do, he chooses not to because he doesn't want to Realistically just about anyone could do as well as Cifuentes is anyway so it doesn't matter, worst case scenario we are just as shit as now

He played Monga who RVN had already spent months integrating into the squad He gave Page 2 games and then banished him to the u21s for no reason Silko Thomas has played 57 minutes, he is also literally older than Jordan James and had 0 goals 2 assists in League 1 last season, hardly the most inspiring choice to try and freshen things up

What part of anything you have seen from him suggests that he is going to change?

We know for a fact that Soumare is terrible, he could have literally played any midfielder from the academy and at least tried something different How many times do we have to watch Soumare amble around the pitch not giving a shit and ****ing up everything he touches for managers to stop thinking he will turn it around The lack of options holds no weight either as all season it has been the same Our left backs are atrocious and yet Aluko doesn't get a sniff Our strikers have ONE goal in 1600 minutes between them this season and yet Evans hasn't even seen the bench If we were losing games but he was at least trying to figure out a way forward then I would cut him some slack But the extent of his planning is what flavour of rancid shit shall I pick this week instead

I would be on board with this if there were literally any signs we were heading in the right direction The longer he spends here the worse we are getting, he has had 3 and a half months and he is still too stupid to figure out that Soumare is useless, something we could have told him literally years ago We have no identity, no system, we can't defend or create anything, he doesn't have a clue what to do to fix it as evidenced by the fact he has tried absolutely **** all to fix it

Right well seen as sacking the entire playing squad isn't exactly an option let's maybe reconsider and try and get a manager with the slightest hint of competency about him instead

The reason nothing gets better is because half the fan base gulps down the shit they are served up each week and says thank you for it

There are people in the stands clapping this? Are you taking the ****ing piss

Out of interest did a single person think Daka was going to score there?

Assisted the first goal by poking it away from Vestergaard and preventing an easy clearance Couldn't be arsed to track back for the second goal Spent the rest of the time oscillating between doing **** all and ****ing up everything he did do

Absolute shit stain on his fathers legacy, sooner he ****s off the better

He is the most pathetic, worthless, useless, waste of spunk we have ever had the misfortune of employing I utterly despise the lazy sack of shit

Quickest the useless lazy **** has moved all day

I ****ing detest everything about this club right now, absolute ****ing embarrassment, ruining my week every ****ing week

Cifuentes couldn't get a tune out of the ****ing Beatles
