Pretty much no point at all. It will be sheer embarrassment

They might go 1 up and then just take the possibility and decide not to waste their energy scoring more

I would be happy to pack defence and midfield if we had Mitro and maybe de jong up front with mbabu left wing back . I think it's going to be humiliating and tbh we are going to struggle to not finish bottom with McLaren in charge if not given the boot after this raping. I'm gonna try and not get angry today, what's the point anyway

Shawcross, Shelvey and a winger please. Although unlikely the first 2 would improve us no end.

wew I bet it's for Perez. If Sissoko and Colo still start then Mclaren will never fix the issues. I would even settle for Gouffran on left wing with Perez on right. Wijnaldum, Anita and Colback would have to be centre I guess unless Sissoko can be trusted to start centre mid with Colback and Wijnaldum and not go missing. Dummet centre back, Mbabu left back.

Hope he gets it. The whole country need to hate him

A decent coach / tactician would surely by now be coaching our midfield/defence to hunt in packs and close down space as a basic organisational skill. The sheer lack of tactical awareness from our players is astonishing, they can't even get the basics right never mind put together fluid attacks

Not just the defense tbf, the lack of urgency from our so called midfield to get back or recover the ball was staggering against Palace and Leicester. Jack Colback jogging back for their 2nd and example

Out of current 11 I would probably keep Janmaat, Mbemba, Anita, Perez - maybe Colback coz he gives a shit and possibly Dummet but only at CB. Jury out on Wijnaldum, Cisse played ok yesterday but won't last, Mitrovic and De Jong may be decent as well. Sissoko and Colo would be gone straight away

You cut the cancer out of the club, banish the players not showing the effort and bring through our younger players, who may be raw but will also be up for it. Short term we need results and need to tighten up in midfield and defence, become a unit and compete. If that means dropping Sissoko, Colo or any other player pissing about then we need to make an example. Mclaren needs to stop thinking of Sissoko and Wijnaldum as wingers because more often than not it offers nothing. We need that solid centre and that may mean deploying 3 centre midfielders. aye, SMC has been as weak as p*ss from day one, taking the softly softly approach and they've ripped the p*ss out of him as a result he should have made some hard calls from the off, dropped some of the w*****s and sent a message, they clearly don't respect him and think they'll play regardless and they're right And that's the problem that the younger players like Perez are being sacrificed while Sissoko wanders about aimlessly with less fight or aggression than Anita, who at least looks like he gives a shit.

If anything at least he offers some height and looks reasonably comfortable on the ball. We can't keep going with the shit defence that conceded 8 goals in 2 games

4-4-2 with Perez and Thauvin on the wing please. Drop Sissoko and Coloccini for De Jong (Up with Mitrovic) and Lascelles / Dummett centre. Mbabu at Left back if fit. Lump it up to Mitrovic and De Jong and hope for the best

Buried by christmas man. No chance we are getting out of this and January will be to0little too late

Yes, yes I do and I want us to start again no matter the consequences. I want a team that tries, gives commitment not excuses and has a go at teams. I'm sick to fuck of the predictable shit performances and uppity foreign players that give up easily. I would happily go down and give Armstrong, mbabu etc a chance. Clear out all the absolute garbage and start with a balanced team based on youth

We will go down this year, no doubt in my mind now. We just have nothing and the management can't get the basics right. There is zero drive or tempo. We need to strip the club down and start again

He's fucking mental. We have Liverpool and Spurs next and fuck knows what will happen. He has offered nothing so far and his tactics are shocking

He's absolute garbage at left back. Be fine at centre half. Rather mbabu or anyone else at left back

He's just not a good manager. We are worse than we were with Carver. He has not managed to get players to play as a team, put up with the shit the so called big players serve up and can't organise shit.

Someone needs to come in and bullet colo and sissoko for a start. Big players doing absolutely fuck all

We need a few more here

Bunch of fucking losers these lot

They just don't play like a team, look an uncoordinated mess most of the time. The tempo and movement is non-existant. Midfield is the issue and no quick fix as both Gini and Sissoko look shit in there. We need to close teams down a lot more and actually try pressing

Nothing has improved, we don't even look half organised and look just as toothless going forward. Needs big changes in midfield and need to tighten up. Our pressing and closing down is awful. The players need to be closer together as well. I would probably go with: Sissoko, Wijnaldum, Anita in a triangle covering the space with Thauvin Left, Perez right as wide men and Mitro up front. It would probably at least give us right balance. When we don't have the ball we should be compact with centre 3 already in place to defend. The space between Defenders and Midfield needs to be more compact as well, simply too many gaps for this level. Going forward we may suffer initially but something has to be done. When we do have the ball we need to get people around Mitrovic to pick up second balls.

They had energy, tempo and looked like they knew their job. We looked terrible so hard to judge if they were brilliant or just better
