Even with the no striker excuse and the usual lack of options on the bench. This has been shocking. 
 

Predictable in attack and wide open behind the midfield and in behind the defence time and again. 
 

Even if we draw. This somehow feels worse than Luton the way we’ve played. 

 

Yeap, we should be able to control the game still.

Burn is shite but its not even close to being our problem. The midfield 3 are appalling.

How many teams would Longstaff and Miley start for right now? The answer is not great

Every single team (except Sunderland) cuts right through us. Bad luck, injuries to key players and what not - that’s not the sign of a good team or a good manager to be honest. If we can’t get more than a point from games against Forest, Luton and Bournemouth at home - questions will have to be asked? Feels shit.

Or a change of tactics instead of putting players in a system that cannot play it.


What system would suit Longstaff? Running around loads but never touching the ball is not a tactic I am familiar with.

It’s a problem, as simple as that, one that we have a solution for. For midfield we currently do not have really. It’s another problem yeah. 

Sorry I meant biggest problem.

We desperately need players in there so we can take Longstaff to the glue factory.

 

Howe will drop Miley when Willock is back, not Longstaff.

The way we are gaping all over pitch im not sure. Over the top yes, but Arsenal scoring for fun, we are shipping for fun. Probably around 4-5 goals.

Oh yeah, it’s a nailed on 4-0 loss. Not 10 though. Fortunately they won’t be countering us, so it might be tighter.

Even Sunderland had a couple moments where they ran through and right at us, can't remember which player but the little / no.10 guy did a couple times

There’s still a lot of football to be played this season but I can’t wait for it to be finished so we can start again next season with hopefully some options. So many kicks in the balls before we even get going.

As long as one of them are then it will be an improvement. Both of them in there at the same time leaves us as weak as piss.

You’re right, it’s not a problem, as we have Tino. However…

I get that every game in the league is tough, but dropping points to Luton, Forest, and Bournemouth at home is properly shit. Eddie needs to tweak the formation because we look awful

One where he's playing to lower expectations, maybe for a lower prem team.

Defence is low on confidence. It's a vicious cycle right now.

 

Midfield can't help the defence out, nothing upfront to ease pressure, defence getting exposed and lower and lower in confidence. 

 

We need bodies back or should have signed a third striker in the summer or in January. We gambled twice and lost both times.
