It was NEVER the formation. The back 3 stuck 4 goals past Brighton.
It was always the quality of our players, the floor of the squad, the depth is NOT good enough - it was so OBVIOUS to anyone.
Sacking the manager, because he asked for some help, any help and telling him to change to a formation THAT IS NOT ANY MORE GUARENTEED to bring results was ridiculous.
Still regardless who the manager is the squad still needs investment. This squad will struggle to secure top 5 or european football this season.
I really really hope and pray the interim manager whoever it is, can galvanise us.. because right now its flatter than ever. Sensible fans are losing faith. I hope the 4231 works, I hope Mainoo steps up, I hope the players respond and try to salvage this season because right now its looking flat...
Amorim Outers are the only HAPPY "fans" right now and that says everything about the state of this club and its "fans".
Next up Man City, then Arsenal. A win against either could ignite the 2nd half of the season for us, need Amad and Bryan back and need to get to work on the training pitch.
