How long are we giving Arbeloa?

[SuffolkWhite]

All this conjecture and rumour and lack of support from some fans is bonkers, agreed it's fine to discuss crap tactics and players lack of performance, but to go after the Manager with just 3 games played.

I thought as a fan base we were  fighters, whats that saying,
" it's not the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog"!

We finally have youth, creativity, and energy all across the field and a new exciting,attacking style. If we can survive this year and hit mid-table, but with a 3 year vision to get into European competition with the project AA is working on, I will take the nerves and stress right now.

I see what he's trying to do, and yes we need to shore up the defense... but if Palace didn't have the keeper they do and the CBs they have, plus we were more clinical... would have been a 5-0 win. I know theory and what ifs don't matter.. but AA is brining in some real exciting, young talent, and i would rather continue with it than knee jerk react and sack him, pay him boatloads to leave, then get in a random, conservative gaffer who probably can't do anything with the squad we brought in because they are AAs guys

... but if Palace didn't have the keeper they do and the CBs they have, plus we were more clinical... would have been a 5-0 win.

Behave... they would have been 1-1 shortly after we took the lead Saturday, but for a marginal offside, which we got extremely lucky with... and let's be fair, Palace were not great... so to praise their keeper and CBs... who by EPL standards are very average, is a massive stretch...
Yes their keeper made a couple of good stops, but he's was hardly Gordon Banks...
We lost because we have no defence.
Let's not pretend we were unlucky because we were not...
AA needs to stay and sort this out... I hope he does... but please, be realistic

Happy to see the silent (or at least quiet) majority agree with me. The loud negativity has been very depressng

I mean, nearly 50% of voters would have him gone after 6 games if we see no improvement in the next two. Those 2 are Liverpool and United. Not great, is it?

United are hardly setting the world on fire.  If Marco was still in charge we would be looking at that as a winnable fixture.  But now...

Damn right. Right now the thought of us losing possession and having Bruno Fernandes with the ball with so much space to play into is making me slightly nauseous.

[The Enclosurite]

He's effectively got a free hit for the next two games as everyone is expecting five defeats on the spin.  I think the next two after that are the defining games.  If no sign of improvement by then there needs to be some serious questions asked.

I do however think that the Khan's won't rush into anything as they are not trigger happy owners.
