 Mistakes are not made by any manager, least of all ours, players on the pitch make the mistakes and managers have to watch them do it just like us. Yeah, you're correct. Who else would put Kane on corners or start Schlupp up front when two internationals are sat on the bench?

Roy is a fraud. How does one get opportunities to manage all throughout their log lives when they are so incapable?

| Historically managers of the quality of Ferguson and Wenger still received their share of criticism.

He's incompetent and a liability.

To say he is incompetent is a ridiculous statement, you don't have a managerial career that long by luck. People are talking about Howe as a replacement, his decisions got his team relegated. There isn't a perfect answer, but having Tomkins and Sakho as CB pairing is a good move, our best pairing in the past.

| Nobody is happy with the last two performances and it's all about opinions but throwing out the two international strikers on the bench thing is a bit disingenuous. We all know that Benteke missed 20 from 23 good chances and was statistically the worst striker in Europe in Roy's first season. His head went and has never recovered. He also never covered himself in glory on Monday. Bats dropping after Monday also needs no explanation after a run of games. So the manager tried something different. Both players were on the pitch at the business end of the game along with Riedewald who's weak defending contributed to the first goal.

My suggestion would be to replace the manager before we're relegated or the fanbase walks away due to boredom. He fecked up England and Liverpool, and is taking us backwards. If you think we're progressing under Hodgson then you're deluded.

| I don’t think he should go at present but reserve the right to be critical as is my right as a fan .
