No idea where we go next. Totally broken as a club and like many others don't think it's just one thing. It's a hurricane of shit, part coaching, part management, part shit players and a total lack of desire. There is no heart in this club and the football is completely abysmal. Players that seriously cant string passes together at this level or even have a meaningful shot at goal.

I would suggest try watching the game before commenting, Sissoko was one of out best players today, probably only one of three that can hold their heads high. I would suggest I have seen every game in last few years and held season ticket for 24 year and seen enough s**** to recognise it. You seriously think him getting out muscled off the ball every time or failing to influence a f***ing thing is him being the best player ? Doesn't shoot, can't pass, has no creativity and is s*** defensively but f*** it lets congratulate the useless c*** for running past his man twice Outmuscled off the ball. In a game where he's holding off players for fun before releasing Janmaat. No surprise though, I've seen enough planks at St James who think the sun shines out of Pardew and Colback's arse. You need to read back a bit, I hated Pardew n Colback. Did you see him get beaten to the ball time and time again. Did you watch as he stood static rather than jump with nobody around him, no? Thought not - maybe you should open your eyes and see his limitations rather than the odd forest gump run that does fuck all

He really wasn't, take ya blinkers off. What are his main qualities because except for running quite fast I really struggle

Struggling to be convinced we have the players to do much better after last few games. We seem to struggle with the basics and can't play at a decent tempo. No idea what happens next

There's nothing in this league for either of us. Start again with young academy players would be my preference. Just sick of the shit served up and not fooled by the odd game trying

It's worrying how clueless we look going forward mind. He has had pre season, been a whore in the press and we are getting worse every game. That was shocking today and he needs to start dropping players like Colback, Cisse n Sissoko to at least send a message. Sissoko is 6ft2 and never jumps to win a ball / dominates fuck all / struggles to control or influence a game

Lad next to me singing his praises, yet he was fucking awful. How come players like Anita, Aarons, Perez maybe Armstrong do not get given as many anonymous games as this fucker or Oberwank or any other shit we stick with, instead they get slated after 1 or 2 sub appearances or the odd 90 mins.

? Really. There was a situation in the first half where he'd already been beaten by pace from their full back and he then tried to beat the same man on the outside with pace and failed miserably. Most of the rest of the time he ran in to dead ends, held on to the ball too long and failed to contribute anything of significance. I'd have took him off. He's a long way from being anywhere near good enough for the money he cost. I think he looks shit. He's weak as piss and tbh no different to Cabella

Sissoko was our best starting player out of the entire midfield and Cisse, not exactly a keenly contested prize but wanting him dropped based on the performance in the last game in comparison to others is strange He was terrible and cannot pass a ball. He runs in straight lines and is in no way a right winger. Cisse even though he has a knack of getting goals harms our game in every other way. We need a forward to hold up and bring others into play. He really doesn't and barely troubles defenders at times when they need to be rattled. Perez and Mitrovic will do that Sissoko is an odd player to single out from Monday night as playing badly. He was better than every starting player bar the back four. You say he runs in straight lines but that running in straight lines brought us further up the pitch when everybody else was happy to pass the ball sideways around the halfway line It's not that odd when I have been saying it for last 2 years. We lack fluidity and he is part of the problem, not the only one as I have said in other posts that Cisse and Wijnaldum in number 10 means we lack a lot of guile, movement and threat in front 4. Wijnaldum further back will work, Sissoko was tried there and is an odd player. Thauvin was terrible but on few games played and needs more time before judgement on his capabilities

Sissoko in a 3 might be better as he can break, but out wide he's shocking. I would rather we did go 4-3-3 with Sissoko, Anita and Wijnaldum than the current 4-2-3-1 that doesn't work for us. It opens things up more but all 3 are athletic enough, especially Sissoko n Wijnaldum running from deep.

Well yeah, Colback and Anita can't start together unless absolutely necessary but Perez needs to play up front when Mitro is out. Cisse is so anonymous and can't hold up play. We know at very least Perez is a pain for defenders. De Jong should maybe start then with Wijnaldum dropping

One is new, the other has had a fair few of those games and is definitely not a winger

So decisive. He would get so much credit if he changed it with Perez, Aarons and Dr Jong starting and Anita, Wijnaldum in centre. Starting to think the back 4 is fine. Drop Cisse and Colback and Sissoko. Put Thauvin right and Aarons left

Don't just say tempted ffs. Be decisive and say i'm making changes because they are shit. If Perez doesn't start and Wijnaldum isn't dropped to centre mid at the very least then he has learned absolutely nothing

Yup. It's been the same ever since we tried to do this 4-2-3-1. We've never had it working, at all. Regardless of personel/coach/manager. In theory it would work with 2 decent centre mids and front 4 attacking but you need the 3 attacking mids to be creative and comfortable on the ball and instead we had Sissoko and Wijnaldum that don't seem to suite the roles given. It ends up with moves breaking down because both players struggle to play in tight spaces. It needs players like perez, maybe aarons to open teams up with their flexibility and guile allowing Sissoko n Wijnaldum to offer a threat from deep. Neither suite their current role. Mind not sure Sissoko suits any role

West ham had 1 up front but plenty of support from midfield. We isolate our striker too much

And he can't pass, or dribble really. Therefore as a player he is worse than most.

He hasnt looked good through the middle. His best games were his first season against Villa n Chelsea. He has been disappointing sinc

f*** off man. He can't pass 5 yards. He's shockingly bad, runs in constant straight lines and has absolutely no awareness, first touch or class No He's been a part of the best play we've seen over the last couple of years and, on his day, is a real force. He's not s*** in any way, shape or form and to suggest he is is pure, unadulterated hyperbole. We've not had a "best play" in last 2 years. We have been garbage. He is supposed to be a centre mid and can't dominate at all despite his size and pace. He might win 100 metres but can't play football

Auxiliary centre half by the looks of it.

Fuck off man. He can't pass 5 yards. He's shockingly bad, runs in constant straight lines and has absolutely no awareness, first touch or class

Agree about Perez but totally disagree about Sissoko based on his time here as he just doesn't perform often enough to merit it, although I would like a run of games with him in midfield to see if it is that he is being playing incorrectly or if in fact he actually isn't that really that much of a player. Sissoko is shit. Perez should start every fucking time. A class above in terms of effort and ability. His control and awareness at times is fantastic, yet he gets benched - ludicrous
