That's his right and you really should shut up and stop belittling other fans here. Who do f*** you think you are?

Still 111 points to play for.

After the first four games on 26 August: 10 out of 12 points, fourth place, W3 D1 L0, scored 10, conceded 7, goal score +3. Goal difference separates us from Norwich in second. On 26 August, Nathan Tella sold and Jack Stephens injured. Between 26 August and 23 September: W0 D0 L4, scored 2, conceded 12. The worst run of form in the Championship.

Too much negativity here. There are still 117 points to play for.

1. Martin is not Pep No, he is not. Yet. If you ask me, I'd rather take a chance on a manager who's trying to be Pep than one who's inspired by Sean Dyche. Besides, Pep didn't invent possession football and he didn't know what he knows now when he started his managerial career. Every young manager needs time to learn and develop. 2. Martin doesn't have the players Pep has at Manchester City, so it's impossible to play possession football. Wrong. It's a myth that you need extraordinary skills to play possession football. I can give you many examples of lower league clubs in the UK and abroad who have played and still play possession football. Swansea under Martinez, Rodgers and Laudrup were called Swanselona and played fantastic football with players you've never heard of. Also, even the most skilled players make mistakes and those who watch Pep's teams will know that they concede silly goals from time to time. And no one blames Pep for his tactics, because everyone knows that his football is superior in the long run. What you need to play possession-based football is not some mystical skill, but a bit of concentration and movement patterns to receive the ball (pass & move). 3. We keep conceding plenty of goals So what? Football is supposed to be an entertaining game. 😂 All joking aside, playing from the back is risky and there will be more goals like this, but I am 100% sure that Martin's style of football is superior in the long run. If it takes two or three seasons to get promoted, so be it.

Spot on.

Possession with no intent of attacking is possession with intent on defending. So, no, there isn't such thing as a possession for possession sake.

We can't. There is no such thing as a possession for possession's sake.
