He’s here for 4 games and hope he does the job. But given the potential of our squad (up or down) why on earth would you want to watch dross football game in
game out?

Haven’t we been watching “dross football” all this season, especially the last few games? Let’s just see where we are after the Tottenham game. If Sam keeps us up then he deserves to be considered for the job. At least he changed things at half time and we didn’t lose the second half. One of City’s players will have cost what our team are worth in its entirety and are one of the best teams in the world. I was really pleased to only have one goal to add to the goal difference score, I was expecting at least 5!

"One of City’s players will have cost what our team are worth in its entirety"

That's an argument for all!..

If we had their bench playing in our first team we might have drawn!..

We're nowhere near the top teams and it'll be a long time without their sort off backing before we get that far!..

Ask Newcastle!..

Don't get this, we didn't lose the second half argument.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion. It is football after all.

I will add, if Gracia/Marsch were in charge yesterday,
it would've been a goal fest for City. Both managers
turned us into Swiss cheese. I give BS a ton of credit
for pulling this team out of that fire, in two days of work.

Not too bad all things considered.


"even changed the penalty taker they were that relaxed and comfortable."

^^^

This is well off actual reality. Haaland let Gundogan
take the penalty as he was on a hat trick. When he
missed, Pep went ballistic at Haaland for not taking it.
Pep nearly lost his mind over it. As a consequence,
he left key players on, for me he was punishing them.

Then City resorted to sh 1 t housery to get to the final
whistle. Can anyone with a straight face, have seen
Gracia causing that? No.

Give credit where it's due. Sam and team did a solid
job in the limited time they had, with a poor squad.

I don’t want Big Sam in long term at all, but we can hardly turn our noses up at the football when we’ve been playing awful stuff for 2 seasons now. I hate the style of football he plays but also think he gets way too much disrespect. You look at his record, he’s actually done well with everyone bar West Brom. What he did with Bolton was incredible and Newcastle, Everton, Palace, Sunderland, West Ham he did what he needed.

If Sam took over when Marsch was sacked, do you think we’d be in a better position now? Personally yes, he’s a miles better manager than either Gracia or Marsch

Can't argue with any of that, Best.

Definitely, he's been there, done that , and won the T-shirt...unlike J.M. and J.G.

24 hours plus since Big Sam and lads did what they
did and I reiterate, he's done a great job in such a short
space of time. I'm really positive about our chances now.

Minus Gracia and the tw4 t Orta, the club looks like
it has at the very least, a chance at survival.

Drop Bamford for Rodrigo and I think we can do it.

Yes. They were that comfortable and relaxed in the knowledge that they’d played one of the easiest 80 minutes of football ever they gave the penalty to Gun for his hattrick. The miss and then mistake for our goal was liking papering over the Grand Canyon. Most flattering 2-1 score line one will see in a very very long time?

I think the team were set up to sort the defense, and there is why they had no real goal threat, back to basics is as far as I know to not concede, and looking back at last month it could be said there was an improvement!..

The players have a little time to see what Sam wants to do and no doubt he'll be looking at other area's in the team to improve on, once they have the defense backup drummed into them then they can work on the attack, which is normally how it should be!..

As for ManC, there ain't many off the so called top teams that have bettered them, we expected the worst and stopped the best in the league, 2 goals against against them isn't that bad!..
