Theregulars

And players well accustomed to it. And, to emphasise, they haven’t had to do it with half their squad missing.

The players do look broken physically, emotionally and psychologically. I feel really sad for them, it’s just a horrible, horrible confluence of circumstances.

That’s as obviously wrong as the mbappe pen. It’s not feeling like coincidence anymore, it’s ridiculous.

That’s inexplicably poor

It’s concerning how consistently second best in every aspect of the game we are in every match. I can’t find anything positive to say about us.

I reckon they got that to make up for joelinton not getting one. Inconceivably bad call otherwise

A win is the best result we can hope for.

Victim of his own success and I think people are ignoring or downplaying the physical and emotional fatigue. The players obviously look tired because they’re not running as much or as effectively and they’re losing control / skying chances where they wouldn’t normally. I remain of the opinion that I’m not sure what else he was supposed to do bar train and play less intensely prior to the injury madness, but a good number of the injuries dont seem to be caused by physical intensity. I’ve seen managers sacked for less in this insane industry, but to bin off Howe now would be to delegitimise the ownership. I hope he’ll be fine and think he still benefits from massive caveats.

Absolute freak show of a season. All the statistical anomalies happening every match against us. Of course Wood scored. Of fucking course Wood scored.

Wood will score. It’s been that kind of season.

We’ll end up beating Liverpool and villa away and twatting Sunderland. I’m high on the confidence of multiple pigs in blankets rn

This is fair. I’d have thought our players being more talented might have counted for more today.

In my view we disgraced ourselves today. We were not at the required level to win a match, we were outfought and outthought. I consider that to be a disgrace.

I’m sorry but I consider it unprofessional if a football team persistently can’t pass to each other. We weren’t executing basics - that’s why I said unprofessional. It also did look a bit lazy to me, we didn’t seem to really push for anything. Second to most loose balls.

Is it fair to ask whether he’s considered having to adapt and play a different way? It looks like we’re trying to but not succeeding. I’m not going over the top in my opinion, that was a poor performance and we’ve not looked competitive in quite a few matches in a row.

Good teams find a way to get results. We are not finding that way too often to claim to be a good team right now. Questions to answer for manager, squad and club in January. Petrified of the mackems match now.

Simply put that wasn’t good enough. The manager and players need to sit down and discuss what they think is going wrong, and then the manager needs to have a similar conversation with the board with a view to righting the ship in January. The season is in serious danger of skidding off course. I’m not letting them have “fatigue” for that - that was uninterested, lacking in heart, lazy, unprofessional and incompetent.

Wow, Bruno.

Yes, hence a bit of credit being used up

They’re not going to sack him but i would imagine a bit of credit in the bank has been used up. Not much, but a bit.

Sure, but my opinion is that your opinion has no basis in fact and could only really be reached by an imbecile.

There is a simple inability to execute the basics of football today. Just desperate for a break, can’t believe how quickly things are unravelling for us.

But to be clear you think Mourinho would be in his depth?

Continue jogging

The performance is getting worse. We’ve been bullied and have taken it without much of a fight.
