Our managers have a habit of

getting the boot a few days after games against Millwall (Sven, Claudio). Anyone got their knives out for Brendan yet?

I’m still on the Brendan bandwagon for now but how long can we keep not performing before his position starts getting questioned?

I would argue our 2 wins were extremely fortunate as was the draw against Napoli. We deserved something out of Sunday’s game at Brighton though. But it’s possible we could have lost all 6 games given performance levels.
 
I think Shane our problem is the defence. We’ve pretty much played a different back 4 in every game due to injuries. It’s made our performances look bitty and unstable as there’s obviously a lack of confidence getting a clean sheet

I think it’s time Soyuncu was made to sit a few weeks out. I don’t see how Amartey or Benkovic could really be any worse. Might do him good to get out of the firing line for a bit if he’s mentally shot at the moment. Obviously it’s not just him but like you say there’s clearly severely lack of confidence at the back.
 
I think he's got a bit in the bank yet , but as I've mentioned before the owners won't mess about if they think it's going sideways.
We've had an horrendous time with injuries and yesterday was a var/refereeing clusterfuck.
But at the same time the same old niggling things are there...playing out of form players..not changing the formation (or players)quick to counter the opposition...brighton yesterday very quickly latched on to Ricardo pushing up and pushed players on their left side.
Fingers crossed results pick up , I'm still not sure what our tactics are in many games which again is frustrating....with the players we have we should be more than comfortable
 
Still on the Brendan bus but he needs to sharpen up our penetration in attack (Lookman will help) and cut out the risky backwards tippy tapping around the box. Finally he should teach Schmichael to kick to his own players as his distribution remains shocking.

With the exception of the West Ham game we have deserved something out of the rest of the games. I think it's not helped having your best centre back crocked a week before the season.

Yesterday and Norwich the only games I can find an argument for us deserving something from. We were outplayed by the rest I feel.
There’s no denying Fofana injury was a cruel blow for us.
It’s clearly more than just that though because there are several players miles off it. Lookman has been a bright spot and hope to see him feature more heavily. He seems lively and dangerous whenever he’s on the pitch.
Everyone’s laughing at Arsenal but we’ve done no better at all.
Will be beyond a joke if Maddison is starting on Saturday.
 
I fear like you Maddison wil start again but it’s our slow build up teams are pressing us deep in our half now and I feel we’ve got away very lucky up until now with out suicidal half zonal marking of whatever it’s supposed to be.

Should've got something against Man city we had enough chances and we should've won against Brighton with the chances we created second half. Not taking into account the non penalty and the disallowed goals.
