It looks like the creation of an unwieldy bloated squad has sucked out the morale of both the old and new players. Lambert slagging off the new players saying they have had their chance. Really? Silvio? Saiss? Ola John? Even Cavaleiro who has played 10 minutes a match? Mate if this is your idea of motivating players then you are as flipping useless as you were at the Villa. Take some blame yourself for your team selections since you got here. If you learnt anything from your love affair with German clubs is that they know how to defend. Jeez can it get any worse with another manager spouting drivel. Fosun take a good hard look at Thelwell while you are at it.

Not sure we can blame Lambert just yet, but Thelwell and his contribution to the present situation needs looking at.
Atleast Lambert had the sense to lay it on the table regarding a relegation fight after the s*** that was served up on Saturday.
I suppose we can try and take the positive from it that 'it surely can only get better on the pitch from now on'I doubt it's possible to get any worse.

Certainly can't blame Lambert. Yet. But he needs to show us he can do something with this lot before Christmas. If we're still fighting relegation after Christmas, then we know we have the wrong manager. Or the wrong players.

Should have given Walt till Xmas at least. He seemed to be making some headway. Truth is KJ should never have been sacked. If he were still with us I believe we wouldn't be in this mess and would at least be in top 6 now. I always said be careful what you wish for. Now PL needs time and we need patience! He needs to wipe the slate nearly clean and by that I mean a massive clear out and get some tried and tested goal scoring quality in if we are to avoid the drop! It's a Nightmare! 😰.

I can see why Zenga went. All those signings but a worse performance than last year.

Would KJ have done better? Yes if he had Bod and a couple of other signings. But many signing in the last couple of years weren't good enough (Clarke, Rowe, Holt, Sagbo, Le Fondre, Van la Parra) or still struggle to hold down a place (Wallace, Saville, Mason) . Meantime, wouldn't we like to still have Jacobs and Golborne on our books? Were the signings his fault? Well, him and Thelwell. Not sure how much Thelwell had to do with the current crop though. We really did expect more.

What can PL do now? Well, fix the defence and get these new signings performing. Cav cost a fortune so he must surely be worth playing from the start. Ahead of Bright anyway. I want to see Saiss and Prince out there too.

Hart, Mulgrew, Kompany, Ignacios, Sako, Griffiths and Lampard signing in January.
