Can’t really fault AA for today

Oh pleez, rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic
Of course AA is responsible as Manager with his preferred signings
He either takes the plaudits or is responsible for the losses.
Regardles who failed to score
Just own up, ACT as manager

Is Ryan Sessignon the team's best finisher?
Despite being played as a defender!

He started two of his signings in this game? And the sitters were all missed by Silva's stalwarts as was the player at fault for the goal so not really sure what you're getting at

Yes and I have always found it odd that he hasn't been found a role further forward. The guy knows how to put the ball in the net!

He started one of his signings and IMO bought him off too early when he looked like one of our brightest players first 60...

Two, unless you don't think Larsson is not his signing

Doubt it, from my understanding Angel, Palacios, Affengruber and Garcia are 'Arbeloa picks' in terms of he specifically drove and recommended the signings. I know he said that Charles was bought to him and he thought he would be a great fit but wasn't his idea. I suspect Larsson is in this bracket also.

That doesn't make sense, if as you say Charles was bought to him and he thought he was a great fit, then obviously he has sanctioned the move. Surely that is the job of scouts and "DOF's"

It makes perfect sense, players I mentioned were signings that were suggested and driven by Arbeloa, other signings were club signings but obviously Arbeloa approved of them and was on board. Obviously we would never sign a player the manager doesn't want but signings can be driven from different sources

I heard on a podcast that Arbeloa said he wasn't aware of Charles when he took the job.

Apparently one of the higher ups thought he'd be a great investment

I'm not really sure it matters, as long as the manager likes the player, and of course Charles was a very good choice whoever recommended him.
if a player is brought in against the managers wishes then that's something else

[perry geyton]

I have been very critical of AA but cannot fault him for the Palace game. The owner is at fault in my opinion for not ensuring we have a properly constructed squad. I'm not inclined to go through it again but our lack of ability to score goals is down to poor management from him alone because he does not employ people of the correct calibre. Letting two experienced players leave and replace them with juniors lacking in any prem experience is just one example which is plain for all to see.   AA has for the team playing quite well I am astonished to say but the quality in the squad is just not good enough.

From what I remember we were all very excited to sign Garcia in the transfer window, it's all to easy to just blame the owner who shelled out 30 mil. Plus for him after the fact


Personally I'm not writing either of our strikers off as of yet, I just don't think our style of play suits an old fashioned center forwards style of play

Yeah, have to go along with this.  These past two wins were nice, don't get me wrong, but only by slimmest of margins v newly promoted sides.  I want to see AA carry these recent successes forward with some favorable results v established PL clubs.

[EN1 FFC]

There are a group of players who have been on the bench in most of the games who were given a chance to prove they can start games or make a difference and none of them turned up against Palace, it was as if they couldn't be bothered to up their game.
I watched them warm up along the sideline in the game against Hull, both times the culprit instigating this negativity was Andersen. He was standing there along with Kevin making no effort and they were both telling Muniz to stop. Attitude Problems.
Andersen has gone from being a Silva favourite nailed on to a sidelined player and he can't hack it. What he said when away with Denmark sums it up, he's obviously upset. Arbeloa see's what the fans see about Andersen and Silva didn't.
I think Andersen, Kevin, ESR, don't justify a starting place on their performances. 

[bobbo]

Just for me the one seriously wrong decision why remove iwobi and leave Muniz on.

[sunburywhite]

I thought Cairney was busting a gut when he came on. He was trying to get things going
