Can there be any consolation in thinking it can't get any worse and we have been through the worst of it or is it possible we are in for worse experiences than this season
Yeah desperately need RB, CB, DM & ST as absolute minimum this window, however would still be lacking a CM & RW as well.I think we have, I genuinely don't see how it can get any worse. Performances, attitude, desire, work rate all lacking. No idea what our tactics are.
In some respects, ETH has a lot of low hanging fruit to start with. Minimum of four or fine strong signings required this summer. We need two midfielders and two full backs. Don't even care if we don't sign an attacker so long as we concede less than 30 league goals next season I think I will be happy. Fed up of seeing us play like we are drunk.
This was going to be my joke but I got told off before for putting memes in the footy threads. Let's hope they spare you.Not only have we hit Rock Bottom, but we've been delivered the People's Elbow too.

He could come over and leave his wish list so they start working on it but he should definitely go on holiday for a few weeks. Better to come back refreshed and energised for the new season.Hopefully we've bottomed out now but my fear is how quickly TH gets here ie. Does he go on a holiday after Ajax finish up next week or get started right away. Do we think we do our business quickly or the usual last minute carry on we've seen in the past. It's the hope that kills you

The OP is talking about this season being rock bottom. Obviously based on past experience we could shit the bed against Palace but that would be in keeping with how shit this season has been rather than a new low.No; we could end up 8th, like Arse.
People keep forgetting that 13-14 was a worse season. Of course, we might end up 7th this season, and Moyes 6th; then, this would be, absolutely, our worst PL season ever.
And which 4/5 strong signings will that be?Minimum of four or fine strong signings required this summer
I guess we will see over the summer. There will be plenty of players willing to sign for us and not just shit ones either.And which 4/5 strong signings will that be?
Who would want to come to us just now, maybe in a years time when what ETH is up to becomes clearer, but right now I suspect wild horses and/or pots of money will not bring the right players at the moment.
The days when our money/reputation bought us the best are long gone, lots of competition now with new ideas to go with it. Once players knew that getting your feet under the OT table was equivalent to winning the lottery/(or in them days the football pools), that's why we still have so many players who should have gone, who are still hanging around.
We've been slipping and sliding for at least ten years now and are deep in the 'doo-doo'. ETH needs to come armed with lots of shovels (non lean on variety) to clear the decks down to the bare wood.
If you lose both to CP and Liverpool, they only need one win to draw even on points and they have a better GD.If West Ham were to win both their remaining games, granted one is vs City, they will finish in Europa and we will be in the Conference.
lets play a handful of the kids and at least get something out of the rest of the season.The OP is talking about this season being rock bottom. Obviously based on past experience we could shit the bed against Palace but that would be in keeping with how shit this season has been rather than a new low.
At lease we could say ECL football has come back to Manchester.If West Ham were to win both their remaining games, granted one is vs City, they will finish in Europa and we will be in the Conference.
This is already worse than Moyes season. Back then we got 64 points and reached CL QF, also League cup semi final. Now we are finishing with maximum 61 points if we win our last game and went out of all competitions in earlier stages.No; we could end up 8th, like Arse.
People keep forgetting that 13-14 was a worse season. Of course, we might end up 7th this season, and Moyes 6th; then, this would be, absolutely, our worst PL season ever.
I couldn't have said it better, myself.We thought we hit rock bottom with Moyes.
We thought we hit rock bottom in LVG second season.
We thought we hit rock bottom in Mourinho's 3rd season syndrome.
We thought we hit rock bottom with Ole.
So I will say Man United have insane potential to surprise you with how much lower we can go every season.
Nice
It doesn't matter if they spare me!
