Totally agree. It's the person at the top (no pun intended) who has to keep the ship afloat, shoulder the blame and be ruthless when necessary. If those below aren't performing then they have to improve or go. If Topp can't be that person then he has to appoint someone who is or he has to go.
Facts of live! if Daka plays we will not stand a chance of winning a game! please someone tell me i am wrong!
You are not wrong. Guy has no confidence.When will people realise Hamza is not a full back. Carranza needs a run of games as do James and Ramsey. I was taught as a kid not to let a long ball bounce but Faes does it time and again. The amount of space we gave Hull players was unreal. The two Hull goal scorers were both unmarked. A pitiful first half, which only improved with the introduction of Ramsey and Monga. We looked a complete shambles in that first half.
I wouldn't argue with any of that. Why not use Ricardo as a proper right back and put a proper midfielder in midfield?
When you see Ayew starting as centre-forward, you know the likelihood of a goal is much reduced ... hopefully Marti works this out soon
Who do we play instead? We must have the most benign strike force in the league. We’re sliding down the table now, and with a possible points deduction we could be in a spot of bother. Maybe Carranza just needs a goal to get him going, Ayew and Daka are obviously not prolific goal scorers. Build up play is fine, just in front of goal were totally ineffective.
I'd give Carranza a run of games for sure - need to sell Daka in the January window (and a few others)...
Who knows - but I don't blame him for embracing a new / last challenge ... the biggest failure for me was not bringing an actual striker in during the summer - haven't given up on Carranza... but Daka's confidence is blown and Ayew just isn't a striker...
I can understand him fancying a season or two on the continent, especially If they’re willing to pay him top dollar too.
