Newcastle only had 0.34 expected goals vs our 1.73. It was a rare game we took most of our chances.

It's odd that it's controversial to think we should be more organized in defence and pass more sharply.

What fan doesn't want to see this?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Have any said that they don't want to see this?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They're criticising those that say they expect better in these areas. Just look at this thread.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think the criticism had been aimed at those making ridiculous statements. Such as Newcastle were the better team. Or we hardly ever play better than our opponents. Or that we can't string a few passes together. The football might now always be great. But we rarely get outplayed
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Or that we play like farmers managed by a PE teacher.

Deflection tactics. Someone asked who'd win us a title too, where did I say anything about the title? I asked how the feck we are so high up in the table despite playing like a bunch of drunk hillbillies for most of the season. It's not rocket science.

Your right, it's not rocket science. We have won more games than those below us. Sorry if us winning upsets you.

I know they do, it's just the plastics that are refusing to say anything because 2nd place is something worth celebrating instead despite another manager having us in that place too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you think our squad is better than cities?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What relevance does this have btw? The complete opposite of the article. He is saying he can’t believe he’s above the rest. Not that they should be above city lol

Yeh that's another good one. How do these posters expect to be taken seriously when they say such ridiculous and innacurate things?

Cultists

The irony of him peddling that word whilst doing the same thing himself making him a cultists - then calls others hypocritesπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

cult

a. Obsessive, especially faddish, devotion to or veneration for a person, principle, or thing.

I have displayed no devotion to the manager on this thread like some of the posters on here, and in return none of you have explained why the football is toilet under him. He's been manager for 26 months now.

No you've done the opposite - wanting him sacked or out creating a yep, you guessed it, a cult mentality.

Appreciate you may find that hard to understand but just digest it a bit and it might click.

posted on 21/2/21

Really don't get why the people on one particular side of this argument have to talk in such ridiculous extremes.

My view on this has always been that Ole is the man to get us to base camp (and that was very much needed given the state of the squad when he took over), but probably not the man to take us to the top of the mountain.

He's done the first part, and should be commended on that. His three experienced predecessors failed at that. He's earned his crack at the second part, though personally I think we'll plateau off a bit from here - and there probably will then be a decision to make in the next 12-18 months.

For airing that view above on this site I've been called both an 'Ole cultist' and whatever the opposite is (Olephobic is the term i think we're going for now?).

Everything is black or everything is white. The lack of any kind of objectivity on this place really is facking mental sometimes.
