    No. I’ve got a life. It’s Sunday. The circle of discussion is getting smaller. And I’m going out soon.

    Seems odd that the only ones who don't get the blame in your list are the most important stakeholders - the players.

    Went all the above or majority and the ones I don't think it is are Bruce, owners and fans!

    There's a massive hangover and lack of quality in depth from the Ashley era, Howe is sticking stubbornly to his guns despite results not being there, point in case on Saturday - go 5 at the back and try to counter them but we stuck to what we always do and got punished while being made to look very average, and similarly coaching staff don't seem to be working on ways to change/improve things just going through the motions.

    Luck and injuries are probably the big ones tbh though, drawn in the group of death in CL - if you'd put us in any other group for any other of a top 2 that finished the groups I think we make it through to some European football. Similarly, we'd probably have been playing yesterdays Cup final if we'd had a slightly easier draw than City, Man U, Chelsea. Injuries and suspensions are making it a tough season also. We are playing games with no recognized striker and if we are they are only half fit and just coming back from injury, Barnes and Willock have shown they'd have been big helps throughout the season, Joelintons a huge miss, Pope is as well and now we are down to our 3rd keeper - half expecting Gillespie to get a run out at some point. Tonali is just the cherry on top of all that.

    It's been a slog of a season and just need to grind it out these last 12 games of the season now, see if we can get to a QF/SF in the cup where anything can happen after that.

    The manager and coaching stuff. Same as with us, it's not the Glazers who are drilling and coaching the players throughout the week. That responsibility falls on the manager and coaches, so if there's shortcomings, they're the ones responsible.

    Disagree even for your lot. Your lot is down to the players
