As it completely ignores or misunderstands the argument. The argument is not "this is fine", the argument is we don't know if it's fine yet as the season hasn't started and previous experience shows us that a patchy pre-season does not mean a patchy season. So wetting your pants before a ball has been kicked in anger is a little silly.
So
What you’re saying is I should have edited the meme to have in the speech bubble….”we don’t know if this is a raging fire yet “
I’m saying the meme doesn’t really apply.
It’s used in situations where literally everyone can see the house is burning down and one person is pretending that everything is fine and it isn’t happening.
I don’t think either of those things apply here.
I haven’t seen any pre season games and if I had I wouldn’t be drawing any conclusions from them.
I’m generally pretty happy with our summer dealings, but other clubs have done good business too.
I honestly don’t know how we will do this season. I’m not super confident about things but
I don’t think we will completely crash and burn.
But until the season gets going and the table starts to take shape it’s hard to be sure.
If the room is getting hotter, the air is getting harder to breathe and your eyes are stinging from smoke…there’s a good chance that what you’ve got is a fire on your hands
Your argument that it’s pre-season so it doesn’t count, would make sense if we were somehow playing differently to how we were especially at the end of last season, but we aren’t…what’s scary about these defeats is how familiar they seem.
And we can go well we need to wait and see if this player comes back from injury, or this player beds in well. Horse shit. To use a Simpson’s analogy we are stuck in a tar pit trying to use our arms to pull our legs free.
We could miraculously start playing purposefully at Old Trafford making the stodgy ineffective mess that’s been all four pre-season games an aberration, ask yourself this…how likely do you think that is?
And by the way nothing is written in stone to say we are going to go down in flames, but now might be the time to get out the fire extinguisher not say well we don’t know that the cladding on the outside of the building is flammable…let’s not spread panic.
Though I find it hard to come to any other conclusion but that the fire extinguisher is bringing in two more players (and making the sales to accommodate this) and sacking Arteta….new players, same style of play. The kind of bold and ruthless move that there’s more chance of me converting to Islam than KSE making

Agreed, but that could also be a couple of youth's 'hot boxing' some marijuana from a bong they made out of a coke bottle, in a cupboard.
Who the hell are you sub letting to?

Pre season is about getting the players fit and used to each other rather than results. In previous years, we have had great results and shocking starts to the season and vice versa.
when you look at the starting line ups for most games so far, I dont think any of them have been the side you would expect to start at Old Trafford (assuming everyone fully fit). Each game also sees pretty much everyone get substituted at some point so major changes are made which isn't easy either to fully assess the current readiness.
The results aren’t what worries me, the performance…the stodginess, the slowness….different players, same constipated football.
