And I think that's where a lot of the frustration is coming from.

We're not stupid and we see what's going on in the pitch.

But then for him to go in a press conference and say things like, oh, you'll see that next year things will be better.

I'm absolutely convinced.

That's really positive and good.

But I don't want to hear that now when we've still got two games left.

I don't want to hear about next season.

I want to see how he's going to win the next two games.

I think that's the biggest frustration as well.

I mean, you go into that game and you know, we all know, three points, that's it, it's done.

Then it doesn't matter if our heads are burnt out because it's done, it's finished.

Yeah, we can have two games and we can have a good time, but ultimately our league position and our goal that we can reach this season has been reached.

But it's just the communication, the constant...

the constant shit talking and not taking on responsibility and not talking and I know he can't throw players under the bus I know he can't do that that doesn't make any sense but he does need to take ownership about his tactics he does need to say that they were coming up against a poor Chelsea side there and there was a real opportunity to guarantee the goal that we've all been waiting for over the last few weeks yeah we can't win the league we're out of all the cups this is all we can go for I don't understand why he's talking about next season and he did it in the pre-match practice

match press conference as well when he's talking about standards and whatnot.

He's talking about how he thinks it'll be fine next season.

I'm still in this season, so how about we meet our targets this season first before we get to next season?

learns during the games very very quickly changes stuff at half time when Andy Robertson gets sent off at home to fool him and stuff like that those tactical for me it's down to influence it seems like last season he had more influence and he had more power and this season nothing he can do works and now everybody is just at the same sort of level the same sort of mental level because last season he was changing games tactically to get better results there's loads of examples of that but yeah this season it just seems like either his message is not working his coaching is not working or the players are checked out

I think they're probably still thinking about rhythm though because it's the Friday to Wednesday, is that right?

So they're probably still thinking about... It's injuries though, isn't it?
