I have no sympathy. It's his own fault for taking a job at a company who were stupid enough to sign João Félix twice. He should have known better.

Ah I don't know. Look at the poch blue print. Start of positive, become negative, get a nice payout when sacked.
Big Enz will have 4 years to be paid out. A nice earner.

More worrying is the number of players who have fallen out with and don't rate Maresca. Where's that dressing room gone?

My theory is that the players are in revolt now Mudryk is no longer around to share the good stuff.

It's not surprising though. He did it the moment he came in when he said Chilwell (our vice captain) isn't good enough and Chukwuemeka needs to leave on loan.
He also said James needed to step up as a captain, but also gave the captains armband at the start of the season to a player that upset every black player in our team, especially the French ones.

Love to be a fly in the dressing room, how many players want Maresca gone?
what is Jackson doing to make the coach keep picking him?

I think something has gone wrong behind the scenes. I get form and especially us have bad patches, but the manner in which it has gone wrong so quickly against the lesser clubs in the division makes me go WTF. Thought Palace would be a tough game, it was.
We have players in the bomb squad still here after the transfer window has opened... So the players/ agents/ club havent (as yet) managed to find a club over teh past five months. Players who have signed just haven't really stepped up yet and others on loan or sold are playing better.
Madueke has all but vanished and outside of Jackson and Palmer, he carries a potent threat despite being indifferent form-wise. (think he may be sold this January)
not sure if anyone plays on the left wing its been so absent of goals from it and we dont score from set pieces and midfield when Palmer isnt on form.
From free scoring and the gaffer tweaking things so we're not so attacking we've started to struggle.
bad Xmas, new year is here, we will see what this squad has going forward.

The other theory, (and I think this theory is more likely), is that numerous players are now on the same "performance enhancing" substance as Mudryk was.

I dont even want to consider this as a theory if im honest. and im sure it would have been found out about if true... I dont relly want to believe Mudryk is a juicer but we're waiting on news...

It's was a satirical post BT.
But my God, if Mudryk was found to be taking some performance enhancing drugs, I would imagine that the company that makes it would go bust overnight.

I'm struggling to understand where this whole Lavia thing is coming from. He started in three of the games we have won this season, and we were behind when he went off injured against Tottenham. We lost and drew twice in the other games he started in.
I agree that Lavia makes us look better and takes the pressure off Caicedo, but I don't think his availability has much to do with our slump in form. With or without Lavia, the problems we have are still there. Sanchez still faces too many shots per game, we don't control games well, we miss too many easy chances, and Maresca has no idea how to wrestle back control of a game when teams start to get a bit more confident against us.

I think we are over complicating the issue(s)
- He has alienated at least 4 (chilly, chuks, felix and chris) of the squad - and failed to integrate a number of others (Veiga, KDH). There are also issues with mads.
- he has clear favourites and isn't picking players based on form or output.
- This type of squad management will only go one way....it isn't sustainable.
- His sole tactic seems to be give the ball to palmer. He isn't able to change the way we play, change the game tactically or influence positively from the touch line. If plan A (palmer) fails - then the wheels come off.
It's all on him.....with a squad full of the attacking talent we have, we should have a lot of options.... not simply the like for like bs we see over and over again

When you bring in a no-nonsense gaffer, you're always going to get the odd player who gets sidelined to make a statement. But I think he's biting off more than he can chew at the minute.
Arteta and Guardiola have fallen out with numerous players and it did work for them in the end, but we've got about 5 unhappy players now I estimate? You're right that's pretty unsustainable. We could really do with the likes of Nkunku, Noni, and Felix at their best atm, Nkunku I definitely feel could be an asset if he was to play with a good striker up top but that door looks shut now unfortunately.
