Hoots out???? Has everybody gone a little bit di canio???

Ok so Everton and Southampton were good bits and hull and Tottenham were poor and villa was frustrating.
But to say the manager needs to go is just stupid . The manager has been backed this season to the tune of ?25. + million and we on paper now have a hughton team with only a few lambert players in the starting line up on Saturday and I thought the squad that started was a good one.
So let's look at the criticisms of hoots... Tottenham was a master class in midfield strength and we after producing only a single shot on target were poor. Hoots though didn't defend that and against villa the story was different, wolf should have had 2, we somehow missed a pen, rusty Martin was getting down the flanks and hooper should have at least equalised at the end. Villa play the lambert gung-ho way and our desperation to get forward we played right into the hands of lambert who loves a you shoot then we shoot game. But would the fans have accepted a cautious dominate the midfield and try and hold the back line tactic which probably would have got us a 0-0 draw but wouldn't have satisfied the home crowd.
I agree sometimes the football last season wasn't great but would the doubters rather have played a holloway style and got relegated but got praised on motd for how plucky we were ?
A few points I want the doubters to think over. I genuinely think that in hooper we have one of the best goal scorers outside of the top 6 sides and he is hoots player and fer looks a bargain signing so he clearly has a good eye. Getting rid of a manager who's just put together a squad is not a good idea and finally who are we going to get instead right now. ? Alan curbishley - I think I'd start supporting Norwich United ? A Martin o'neill comeback or di Matteo ? - Can't see them happening .
We have to give this squad a chance of gelling and we have to trust the boards judgement ... They believed in hoots enough to give him all that cash and we should too.
