Why McKenna stepped down 18:28 - Aug 30 with 3519 viewsstiff_talking

Today’s 2nd half probably why McKenna stepped down. It’s a big job for Gary and his team to take on. We have worked so hard this window to bring in the right ingredients but I’m glad there is still time to bring in more quality. We need right handed center back and #9 as priority.

He was exhausted, nothing more.


I bet he was...

Defeat at Old Trafford isn't the issue

It is the MANNER of defeat, a weak, pathetic capitulation.

Look at Fernandes' third and Mbuemo's goal. Our entire midfield and defence just stood and watched shell-shocked

Even if we were trailing shouldn't they show some fight, some desire and scrap?

Conceding 4 goals in a space of 20 minutes is unacceptable regardless of what team we are playing or where

And Akpom can do one. Third choice behind the useless Hirst and Azon last season and we are hoping he can suddenly be a PL striker? We might as well have been playing with 10 men when he came on


In March amongst very many posts on the Farage business you posted ‘I will not spend a single penny at the Club until he is gone. Tickets, food, apparel anything. I will still watch the matches though, albeit on TV’.

No posts of note other than that. Nothing on the promotion. The odd comment on transfers and GON in the summer, nothing positive about last weeks performance.

Yet here you are. Back again. The old spit flying rolling eyed rage is with us following a defeat. Hope that armchair seat is washable.

Yes, collapsing like that was poor. Not good enough. But it had nothing whatever to do with fight and desire. It had everything to do with the game getting away from them and a terrific performance by the opposition forwards. Your assertion is that they gave up. Stopped trying. That’s plain wrong.

Fernandes cost United £47m plus £27m add ons six years ago. That was what my team were up against.

Akpom? Yes, he is limited and hopefully ITFC can do something about it either by bringing somebody in on loan or permanent. But he was not the only reason we lost

This constant McKenna talk is getting on my tits.

If we win:

Wonder if McK regrets leaving?
Wonder what KM thinks?

If we lose

This is why McKenna left


Give it a rest FFS.


Becoming insufferable isn’t it.

The fact was that again we needed so many to come in. When that happens you are relying on those blending well, which if we cast our minds back to last season it took a long time.
Now virtually another new squad.
The problem teams have is if they are demoted keeping their best players .
This rarely happens as players want Premier League wages and football.
Some of the squad goes due to contracts expiring and they want longer ones than the club is prepared to offer or the offer isn't enough.
Revenue goes down even though by other clubs they are seen as "Privileged" by others who don't have the luxury of parachute payments.
I do think there may be certain mileage in KM thinking can he be bothered with what is a grind in establishing a team in the Prem. It has to be a combination of hard work, luck and those you have or bring in being what you think they are.

Disagree.

Although GON will know he must do better. Conceding five at any level let alone after spending £170M isn’t good enough. Ever.


Brighton conceded 4, is there season over?

We lost away to utd who imo will be getting top 4
we will prob lose heavily v chelsea and man city away too

All that matters is we win as many home games as we can and win some away fixtures if we can against the bottom 10 sides. That's enough to keep us up

Losing to utd away from a slip, a pen and a handball isn't disgraceful

Look at the 4th and 5th goals conceded.

We had 5 in the box for the 4th goal conceded, and all the players, including Maeda were just ball watching. Davis should have gone for the ball but no $hit Sherlock he just stood there watching the ball roll past him to Fernandes. No one even made the effort to clear or block Mbeumo's recycled ball into the box.

5th goal conceded, zero players tracking the runner (Mbeumo) when it was clear he was the only outlet as O'Shea was man marking Šeško. The other 3 players all daydreaming is it. Positioning all over the shop.

Look at their body language, especially Davis and Greaves. Half-hearted runs. Zero effort to track and close down players. You daresay they had any ounce of fire and passion in them in the 2nd half? Or were they suffering from a case of ADD where their concentration was just switched off at times?

we know that and so does O'Neil when he spoke of our emotional discipline
