Reading this board (and others) it's as though the Southampton, Spurs, Burnley, Man Utd and Leicester games never happened.

Was it not nailed on that we would win some games this year, we would lose some games, we would play like champions one week and like relegation fodder other weeks?

How long will it take for supporters to accept the above. Currently there is only Burnley, Toon, Saints and Chelsea bucking the trend. All other clubs are playing well below what their fans think.

What would we be saying if we were Stoke and had just been beat at home to Burnley, or if we were Liverpool after getting pummelled by Palace or even Leicester and not scored for 5 weeks?

We lost to an 'on fire' Newcastle side and lost away at run-away leaders Chelsea, with 10 men.

We need to keep some perspective here. Relegation might just do us good.

Have to say fully agree with this (other than the relegation bit at the bottom, i think if we go down we'll massively struggle to come back).

AI's biggest problem is that no-one wanted him and people still think we can do better for a manager.

From what I’ve seen obviously it’s disappointing that there’s never a plan B no matter who we play we sit back and catch them on the counter. Obviously the big problem with this is that if you concede you have to wait for the opposition to slip up to get back into the game but whilst its still 0-0 both teams still have a chance of winning no matter who you’re playing.

The big problem is that we can all see that AI doesn’t rate certain players and so won’t play them, leaving very few options and very few formations and tactics. This may be the reason for the no plan B, he just doesn’t have the options, people will say Blanco and Varela etc, but what do people want, them to play and we get smashed? I mean they couldn’t even beat Bournemouth how will they do at Chelsea?
