STM Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Can't hold onto the ball for more than five seconds, how do you have a collection of professional footballers and none of them can complete a pass? Perhaps because they are lacking in confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 We conceded a lot at half time for a period in the championship as well didn't we? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Rafa currently doing windmills in the dressing room Hopefully he accidentally lays out Joselu so we can get Gayle on. Joselu's one of those players who never gets injured like Colback Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Chelsea next 5 loses in a row. Rafa = Pardew levels of incompetence. Not his fault fat mike refused to invest in the team over the summer Agreed, but Rafa is making some shocking team selections in this run. Team selections aside, the state of our first touch and awareness, movement is awful. What the fuck is going on in training, surely that lays solely at his feet. This was happening all last season too even against awful Champ sides. Most of our players are just shite on the ball, I don't think there's a great deal we can do in training to sort that.

xLiaaamx Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Obviously our abuse made poor DeAndre sprint out of his good position into a shit one once the ball had been played. Fucking braindead moron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 We are worryingly bad. Such a horrible feeling when you look at the 18 at realise that there's no one you really feel confident will give us something. Not one of our players is dependable for a goal. Which is why it's so important not to keep giving away soft goals. But we can barely see out one half before handing the shitey opposition a golden ticket game in game out. Rafa would be tearing his hair out if he had any. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Thought we had done ok and to concede again before HT is extremely worrying. We are just currently so inept going forwards - once again, Murphy looks our best offensive player. Perez is working hard - Joselu is toilet ..... again.

Mistle17 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Guarantee if we were to have come here and from the start open up and try and get at them they would have picked us off on the break and people would be crying at how naive we are.

Dan Gleebals Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Can't defend, can't attack. It's hard to win matches then. Do not blame Rafa or the players, this is Ashley and lack of investment. Championship players, CL manager, Premier league football. Brighton seem to be doing alright mate. So were we (relatively speaking) until this takeover shit. Been down hill ever since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep with not a much better squad than we have, we are under performing badly and that includes the manager. You make all these changes but fail to change the one player everyone can see is clearly not up to it, deserves the stick he'll get if we lose yet again tonight.

Odear Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Teams have obviously identified Yedlin as a weakness. That’s 4 goals in a row that have come from that side of the pitch. Watford getting trounced this evening too. This is relegation form. Can he turn it around? It’s looking doubtful there will be investors before January.. so another window with no activity. What can he do with this lot? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Mad to think that despite making five changes and altering the formation it's literally just the fact that Joselu's playing that caused us to concede what is already confirmed as the winning goal.

No matter what losing 4 in a row is down to the manager to some degree. 5 in a row is inarguable imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
