Not as apocalyptic about it as other people tbh. Same bellends came out of the woodwork as soon as it was obvious there was no result on the cards.

The home team have had 43% of possession compared to the away team's 57% :undecided:

 

Every game is the same. It's what we do, surrender possession so we can try and not get beat.

 

Funny that, we beat West Ham just the other week with 35% possession whilst apparently 'trying not to get beat'

 

That's what we do. We go out to not get beat and if we score then brilliant. We never go out to try and take it to a team. I will never warm to this kind of football like, always detested the "not get beat" style. Just takes any kind of enjoyment out of the game of football.

 

I was taking the p*ss, you'd have to be a bit daft to think that we went out to not get beaten in that West Ham match.

 

I'm mainly talking about playing this way at home. It isn't right.

 

I don't agree, Rafa's working with what he has, if you think we should take it to teams indiscriminately, godspeed.

 

So are you happy with two banks of four in front of our box and letting a team as s*** as Brighton have all the possession? I just don't get it. It's not how it should be done at home, which is why our record is so s***.

 

I didn't say I was happy, I said Rafa's working with what he has.

 

He is, I agree with you, but I wish we would do it with the ball more. We set up at home like you would expect for an away game. You should never let the opposition have more of the ball than you at home like, but we set up like that. For me it is nowhere near good enough.

Rafa is to blame too, it’s his tactics, it’s his subs, it’s his way of having us playing. I say way of playing, we don’t fucking play. Utter shite from them all. They can all fuck off.

Can't both teams be given no points. Being rewarded in anyway for that is laughable. Not an abnormal performance for us over the past 3/4 years.

 

The sooner this takeover and transfer window is put to bed the better. Our players look awful. Squad rotation can motivate or disrupt. Our players clearly aren't gelling or showing any ability to create on or off the ball.

I don't know what people are expecting like, that's exactly how we played for the first 1/4 of the season when we were actually picking up regular points. It's absolutely shite to watch and borders on embarrassing but the alternative seems to be shipping 3 goals a game and/or being beaten at home to the likes of Bournemouth.
