No they support the club mate - it is called support through thick and thin. Give it a go

That would be the icing on this season's cake (sarcasm)!

Not much to say really.

We are in trouble.and injuries aren't the only reason.
How did the fans react Cjay?

Ayling, Dallas, Forshaw, Klich, Harrison and Roberts all not good enough, but are all guaranteed to play regardless of injuries.

For all the talk of injuries being a problem the performances of senior players like Ayling, Dallas, Forshaw, Roberts, Harrison absolutely dreadful.

Arsenal won't have an easier game this season and the fundamentals of our system is actively starting to be a problem

We deserve better. Even with a depleted squad. We deserve better. Our support was outstanding tonight. Again. Bielsa should be ashamed.

I remember when Ayling being injured was an excuse. Yet since he's been back, we've conceded 16 in 4 games.

We all know we are in a bad place - that’s what we all know. Too many want to constantly bleat on and then criticise the fans for singing and supporting THE f**king TEAM and CLUB. Shame on you.

Would any of them even get a game in the Championship?

Scary thought is we turn up at Liverpool with that level of performance and it could conceivable been double figures.

I have to take issue with that DD, “too many” isn’t right. There may be one, possibly two doing that but the vast majority see the support as true belief in our wonderful club.

Stripping out all of the emotion whilst acknowledging the feat that Bielsa has performed in getting a mid table championship squad in to the Premier league, I am very worried that he hasn't got the ability to make changes to our style of play that will keep us up.
