Not when he consistently picks ayew they won't. Huge red flag.

They seem to like signing crap managers, so I think you might be right

[I blame Wellens]

I know there’s not much to go on but his team selection in the last 2 games  is right up with some of the worst I’ve seen at our club.

Ayew and the lazy git on the other side… what is the point any more!

He needs to be careful when talking about the fans in reference to Justin and Ward (fans not helping the team etc etc) - a little Rodgers esque.

[winteriscoming]

He’ll quit end of Jan when we only end up signing Matt Targett.

For a world class striker being in charge I'm worried about the zero sign of creativity and attacking intent.

We massively lack quality in the wide areas and upfront.

[jmono84]

I can’t stand the bloke. Never seen such a pathetic team, worse than Cooper which I can’t believe!

 

Disgusting attitude and tactics

Think whilst Ayew pops up with goals you might need to get over that. 

[adam]

He did absolutely nothing there to try and change the game at 2 1. Needed a attacking sub or 2 on 80 mins.

He actually proved my point in he's only good for about the first 10 minutes he's on the pitch 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

He just stands there motionless.... hoping something might happen

It was a joke.

One of my favourite ever players, absolutely loved Ruud during the 2000s, he's very quickly ruining that. 
I was NOT expecting a result today, but we nicked a goal and tried to defend for 85 mins, just pure stupidity, trying to play out from the back vs one of the most aggressive pressing teams in the world. He makes a great decision dropping Ward, and then steps on the rake again by playing Ayew. 

I really want him to do well because I loved him so much as a player, I think we might end up sacking him before the end of the transfer window. 

[Jimmy]

I'd love to know why every game he subs a CB late on, seems an odd change to make

We showed attacking intent with our fast breaks. Unfortunately we have a side that can’t keep the ball which is really impacting our ability to counter attack successfully.

 

It would have been suicide if we tried to press Liverpool’s back 4. The set up was right, we just lacked quality in too many areas. 

[Mendi]

Please resign if you care. We are going down under him in freefall.

And Wolves? What did we have, about 2 shots? 

[jonny_wright]

Horrid appointment, not the right manager or fit for our predicament, this is on Rudkin not Ruud, but regardless we are conceding more goals than shots on goal we have.

 

gone from some hope under Cooper to no hope under Ruud, gone by March

If Cooper was in the dugout the past 5 games you’d all be screaming for the sack, it’s got much worse under Ruud - honestly he’s clueless 

[DezFox]

He’s garbage. Knew he would be. Hasn’t got a clue. Everyone will say I’m over reacting but my opinion hasn’t really changed. Did not want him and still don’t. Got a little carried away with loads of people saying he is the answer! Seems like another poor choose from an entirely disgracefully ran football club!! 1000% Man City get first win in ages against the ever obliging Leicester city. this club now is Genuinly pathetic. Top out.

part of it for me is his press conferences so far - gone from "speaking well" and saying the right things to deflective and being very abstract/non committal. I don't mean digging players out, but putting a firm line in the sand. Nothing we can get behind.
