Is Arbeloa the right man to lead us in the Championship next season?

Oh dear. Two games and people are wetting the bed already.

I really detest that lazy, unpleasant comment.

And I think people should get a grip and realise that we have a new manager working with new players and he needs time to settle in.

And you may be right (could be wrong too). That doesn't alter my view that yours was a lazy, unpleasant and uncalled for comment. All it is trying to do is write off those whose opinions differ from yours. This is a discussion forum when I last checked?

More seem to agree with him than you.

And?

And more people seem to agree with him
than you that is all. After all it is a discussion forum ,
last time i checked.

The one possible flaw in Arbeloa is the physicality of the Premier League is not something a man from Real Madrid and the Spanish league would think about. The game was calling out for Muniz, so many crosses and chances to cross but no big target man or aerial threat from our attack.

When, in the last few matches of the season, our fellows are mired in a fight against relegation/pushing for Europe*, the people making doom-laden/blithely hopeful* prognostications here are going to feel pretty smug/silly*.  Is all I'll say/rant into my bathroon mirror*.

This is beginning to get pretty pathetic now lads.

I understand that it hasn't been a great start but we are two games in. Two. And it is widely noted that we have the toughest start in the division.

While I can accept that, the timing and nature of the substitutions was beyond all comprehension.

The manager is getting to grips with the prem as well as some of the players.
Therefore a bit of patience is required for both.

Top scorers last season gone
Silva gone,
New man in charge
New tactical style
New players.
A learning curve for everybody
It's always likely to happen.

And there were many comments over the last couple about Silva's substitutions being bizarre as well.

I'm surprised at the reaction on here  after two league and a cup game, seems typical of the way fans are these days.

People could be right, that we are facing relegation under our new manager, but  just seems too soon to me,to make such a judgement - though could well be a self-fulfilling prophecy if our fans and the media make the same judgement after TWO league games and one cup game, creates a climate of negativity around the team, which needs our support - and I thought we played well v Chelsea, and were unlucky not to get a point, as well as a good victory against Wimbledon in the cup.
