Look a lot more like ourselves which is encouraging. Desperately need a similar performance on the road.

Silva taught him a lesson on team shape and transitions today.

#worrying how every side looks fitter, stronger and technically superior so far this season.

Deserved loss in all honesty. Fulham much better.

Bruno can't kick it more than 20 yards still.

We have structural and tactical issues that go way beyond personnel at the moment.

Man alive. So bad

I hate our shape, what on our earth is our plan?

In the moment it left his foot.

My overall point is we don't have the players to break down an organised low block. Players interchanging positions is a good alternative to creating openings with fast and neat football. For some reason we've become very rigid and predictable.

When we're in possession there's no reason he can't. It's up to someone else to take the space he leaves. He's totally wasted standing on a centre half watching the rest of them painfully knock it about trying to create something.

I'd like to him drift and drop off a bit more.

Not sure how we're getting away with these results but hey ho.

Sick of how our players looks surprised when they receive the ball.

Yep, the proof will be in the pudding.

Think Colwill has been good in a bit of a problem position. Has won basically all of his duels

Defensively I thought he was good which is encouraging. Read the game well to cut things out a number of times and positioned himself well on crosses. We were very deep a lot of the game TBF though.

Christ.

Beautiful finish.

I mean, not even a loan at centre back, to cover us until Botman is back so Krafth isn't out current 3rd choice centre back? Chalobah went on loan for the season without an obligation to buy I believe. Very strange.

Of course we should be diligent and smart with money. There's a myriad of professionals at the club hired to facilitate that. When they have been unable to deliver any progress at all, when other clubs seem to have managed OK playing under the same rules, I think is cause for concern. This criteria seems to have been dogmatic and it's harmed our chances of competing this year.

Poop. All the talk about strict criteria for signings is extremely baffling and actually worrying. Talking like the squad is home and hosed already. We've got blatant gaps all over the place.

Need to shape up fast or this will be ugly. Desmond for me, centre back a huge issue.

Can Isak not drop, drift out wide or something? So easy to defend against at the moment.
