All he can do is operate as a decent box crasher.
I need you all to look past Gus being a bit tubby at this stage of the season - watching Rudoni trying to run past any Hull player yesterday was brutalIt’s not the 1st April yet mate.

They really coukdnt be worse.
He needs to take the blame for that. That's on him.
I totally agree.
What I dont agree with is some of the totally over the top reaction.
Managers sometimes get it wrong, he did yesterday, plenty of opportunity to get it right as he has done most the time since hes been here
Onyeka has a hip injury. I don't think Frank mentioned Cheriff.Where was onyeka and cherif yesterday
I'm not sure there was much OTT reaction in reality. A bit of frustration maybe but at the end of the day, Arsenal was a free hit, yesterday was bread and butter PL points at stake and we fell short. Its not as if he, the players and us, didnt know what to expect.I totally agree.

To be fair he had that tough patch middle of last season which he responded well tooI'm not sure there was much OTT reaction in reality.

Some of that was on FL in terms of selection/formation and subs, but ultimately its the players job once they cross the line. The slow pace and depth we played, esp in the first half would not have been his demand, thats on the players; in game decision making, thats on the players; being able to make a 10/15 yard pass and then move, thats on the players.
Ultimately, we havent had a shot in anger in 180 minutes, and not once looked like scoring. At no point yesterday did we have Hull penned in and under continued pressure. Wide players were too isolated, support arrived too late and we didnt carry enough threat in the box. All of this is fundamentals.
Everyone has seen the run of games coming up. The PL is relentless and therefore time is in short supply. There would have been plenty of sharp words both at HT/FT yesterday (or at least there should have been). Yesterday as a club wasnt good enough all round, on and off the pitch.
I expect a reaction v Man City although not a positive result. Brighton is the next opportunity to show we mean business and have the nous to stay in the PL.
I'm a firm believer in FLand want him to get it right. He has been fantastic for 2 years and this is his first real tough patch he has faced.
True, but at that time we had injury and illness ravaged squad. But yes, he definitely pulled it round. We also made good decisions in the Jan transfer window. We need to do the same in the final 3 days and get the final pieces in place.To be fair he had that tough patch middle of last season which he responded well too
I noticed in the Plymouth game, Latibeudiere was taking up inverted positions and was then caught out for their first goal. Then yesterday Milan was leaving a space by doing likewise. It's not working.I don't quite understand where MVE was at times... seemed to be a CDM with the ball? but was always 2 steps away from where he was supposed to be? JDS played above his assumed ceiling, most others were average at best. why we insist on keeping on crossing in against them I'll never understand. no plan b at all.
Don’t fully get the Hamer and Sakamoto criticism.
Sakamoto obviously should have done more for the goal and after that his head had gone, but before he was putting crosses in, pulling two defenders onto him every time and twice set up MVE for an overlap (which he fucked both times). The real issue is LT should have gone left and Sakamoto right. BTA on was baffling, especially against a low block.
Hamer isn’t quite at it yet, but not enough to be called out as a waste of a signing etc (on other threads). He is our best offensive passer, so he needs to get himself sharper and we need to work out what role he plays (even as an impact sub) but definitely not left midfield.
