Brought it all on ourselves, need to push teams back and attack but we do fuck all. Awful turgid football being served

Howe needs to fucking own this, infuriating how shit we are and he doesn't seem to be able to fix it

Here we go again, fucking trash

Just need a win and then hopefully players back in next few weeks. Need Wissa, Hall and Tino back

Willock, Miley or Ramsey are all better options than Joe to start games now. Looks a bit run into the ground and doesn't have an impact anymore. Would personally like to see Miley start more games as his composure would help massively.

Have noticed every other team seem to have a bit of space, we always seem surrounded whenever on the ball. Doesn't help that our movement into space is really shit.

Will say it again, there's something not quite right with the team just something a bit off. Brentford are a good team but they shouldn't be a match for us, like West Ham shouldn't last week even if away. We look lost when attacking and running with cement in our shoes at times.

None of them can pass to another nufc player once get over half way

This team just feels boring, stale and not much about them to get a hold of the game and drive forward

They won't, we will hit form and they will lose form but they look well equipped to have a good season. Very impressive what they are doing though and look a frustrating team to play. Might be the most feisty derby in a long time next month. Look very organised and a good balance to them.

Well deserved, he's been excellent even when others around are falling

Iknow and may be a bit negative but the ridiculous running into players or gifting chances this season through our own doing - i.e Bruno, Gordon, Joelinton etc has been mental. So unnecessary and led to our poor results at time. Love that we won tonight but was still evident how scared we look at times to just play football and let opposition worry about us / be calm, composed and find the right pass. It goes from trying to rush through teams to being so slow the opposition get organized and need to find a style to play as im not seek g it right now.

It's not just him, something just doesn't seem right and can't be just down to Isak going. The way we play, lack of energy etc, sloppy play it's just not right at moment. May be down to amount of games and lack of preparation time but all seems a bit off. I trust it gets sorted but a lot of games we just don't seem to know what to do and unfortunately Gordon has looked one of the worst. Like I say he's not alone in that as our whole midfield and attack except for Tonali has been pretty shit

He's terrible, not seen much football ability since he signed and I thought he would be class. Hope he comes good but not looking likely

That's not true though, wasn't sure about him before he signed but think plenty have backed him and loved watching him. Something is not quite right and he has been beyond shocking in most games played this season, he runs straight into players, movement is shite, won't just pass and move into better spaces. May be what he's being asked to do and isn't alone, Bruno been terrible as well. It could just be Howe etc trying to adapt in a way to Isak going but the confidence of a lot of our players looks shot.

I can't tell what the plan is anymore, used to be able to see what we were trying to do. That's all down to Howe and coaches to prepare them. He also needs to be ruthless Bruno, Joelinton and Gordon aren't doing enough and making so many stupid mistakes and Pope is terrible, time to change it all. Also if we aren't scoring goals consider the tactics and formation as not enough happening in final 3rd, we look lost for ideas and then give it away and get opened up. It's happening too often - oh and no collective press anymore or intensity or anything resembling controlling a game.

I honestly don't rate Pope as high as some do. Would rather have Ramsdale as Pope does some weird shit and concedes terrible goals most the time. At least with Ramsdale we can pass the ball to him and he can distribute it, whereas Pope panics like fuck.

He needs to try something else, different tactics and formation. We just don't have enough going forward and then get done at the back. Not so bad if scoring for fun but we can't seem to get into gear. I would try a 4231 with Tonali and Bruno just deep and Woltemade with Osula in front of him. Barnes and Murphy either side. Our midfield barely exists when teams come at us anyway so may as well try something new as whatever this is isn't working at all. We have looked shit in just about every one of 10 league games how except from Liverpool. Bruno, Joe and Gordon have been awful on league. Plus points are how good Botman and Thiaw tend to look and Woltemade when brought into play.

He's gave the ball away just about Everytime, running into people

Honestly if any team comes in with decent offer for Gordon or Joelinton I would snap their hands off in Jan

There's no fucking awareness at all, Tonali only player in midfield, Joelinton and Bruno putting in another terrible showing and Gordon is fucking terrible. Do need to ask questions of Howe, I got early season issues and also balancing games but been able to rest players, also the style of football and lack of control. We need to keep it simple, slow down and retain and wait for opportunities. Trying to rush it forward is not working.

Just get Gordon and Joelinton off the pitch, Barnes deserves to start based on these performances

Also what is the point in Gordon, doesn't do anything well anymore. Run down line lose ball or pathetic cross. Nothing good about his play

Revise my prediction this season, we will be mid table playing this shit consistently

Utterly fucking pathetic, what are they playing at
