Is it time to panic?

Whilst I’m extremely annoyed with yesterday’s result, I’m really surprised to see everyone having a meltdown.

whilst we are garbage, we played the best we have all season away from home, and we probably got robbed, based on the Referee being cluelessly incompetent, then Silva having a moment of madness and sending 9 men up for a free kick in the 93rd minute.
felt we controlled the game well, but stupid mistakes again killed us off. Southampton is the next away, and fingers crossed it’s 3 points to pair with an even more improved performance.

If we take yesterday in isolation, I would agree with you
The problem is, it is a reoccurring factor we suffer week in week out.
Poor tactics
Little discipline
Little fight
Poor subs
I could go on

We will finish mid table with the most expensive squad assembled in our history.... expectations run higher
 


Even more so now. We may not see a way out if we wait any longer as we are closing in 1/3 of the season mark. If results don't improve by then and Silva is still here he will be the captain going down with the ship.

Just think relying on Silva to get us out of a relegation battle, that is a scary scary thought. Get him out now before he drags us into that position. There’s plenty of time for a decent manager to turn this terrible run around.

It's difficult to argue with this unfortunately. 10 points from 10 games with that fixture list is nothing short of appalling. We're clearly not as good as we thought we were/should be based on the money spent, and repeatedly we appear fragile and directionless. Someone needs to come in and address this slide, in a big way.

Trouble is the 'addressee of the first instance' aka, Mosh, isnt panicing yet, at least not in public which is good.
For all we know there maybe (should 'kin be) moves behind the scenes.
More than likely the lack of a decent candidate is causing any hold up.
Who apart from Pep, Klippity, Simoene and one or two others, would not be a gamble of one sort or another.

I'd go for Bielsa myself, he's a borderline nut job like Klopp, but he's a nutjob with a plan.
Somebody has to come in and say - right, I'm here and from today its all going to change, I don't know what shight's been going on before but all stops NOW, here's what we're going to do.

Panic is for knee jerkers who haven't the mental strength to keep calm and carry on...

Words have power - so change the words. Call it 'take action' or 'stop the rot'

10 pts from 10 games isn't just unlucky / blame it on VAR - Its a trend...Its not quite a 'death spiral' but its a good indicator of where you'll be after 38 games = close to the wire.

So is it better to take action with 10 games gone or with 10 games left.
And if anybody says 'with 10 games left' -
Then it IS time to panic, because that section of the fanbase is deluded and thus in the manner of Dirty Harry...
You have to ask yourself do you feel lucky.
Well - do you?
 
Now granted, what I'm about to say relies on us winning more than once every 7 matches, but we're 3 pts off ManUre in 7th place.

That's either hilarious at how bad the EPL is this year, or soul-crushingly sad that we can't even take advantage. Probably both.
