Elma Posted Sunday at 16:09 Share Posted Sunday at 16:09 Isak not squaring it to Big Joe was poor, but the loss of possession on their winner was just as bad. He's been really poor (not the only one) this season. He's arguably cost us four points in the last two games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Man Posted Sunday at 16:10 Share Posted Sunday at 16:10 Tonali is a bit of an enigma for me, want to love him and he seems capable of doing it all but still feels like he might be causing more problems than he's solving Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keggy_Keagal Posted Sunday at 16:10 Share Posted Sunday at 16:10 Got to say starting to lose a bit of faith in Howe. The players seem to be regressing, today the game plan was atrocious as was the 2nd half restart. What game can we say this season the tactics have worked ? Plan A isn't working and we have no Plan B . Yes we've been restricted by psr in terms of personnel but we seem utterly welded to this 4-3-3 that you can drive a wagon train through the middle of . He's like an A.I. with his subs and it's always like for like. Also set pieces are atrocious. Then you take into account the away form is the shits. Really like Eddie and want this to work but he needs to improve and fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't fundamentally disagree with you that it feels very unpolished. Just trying to get what joy I can from it all In my heart I don't really believe in this regime being the one to breakthrough I've been forgiving on account of us underperforming xG but when we're doing it every fucking game you start losing faith in our ability to score.

Groundhog63 Posted Sunday at 16:13 Share Posted Sunday at 16:13 I thought we weren't anywhere near as bad as some of the, relentless, moaning cunts on here made out.

Sibierski Posted Sunday at 16:14 Share Posted Sunday at 16:14 A week to prepare, and yet our intensity is still so many levels below 22-23. It’s like the players have switched off listening to Howe, so that extra 5% that elevated us has gone. Mixed in with a poor coaching set up, it’s making even the good players look average.

The Bonk Posted Sunday at 16:14 Share Posted Sunday at 16:14 1 minute ago, Tsunami said: Trying to take a step away, we’ve over achieved so far and FFP has us tied up in knots. Our squad isn’t deep enough and we have players in our best 11 who really shouldn’t be there. It’s hard to accept but there we are. There’s a few players who got us here whom hit their peak the last two years. We have not done well in replacing them. Schar, who is nowhere near his best today in particular stood out. Burn was nowhere near Jackson for the goal, but he had a better overall game than Fabs. We need another CB to play with Botman when he returns and to pray his injury hasn’t ruined him.

He's been really poor (not the only one) this season. He's arguably cost us four points in the last two games He's been dealing with injuries and so his form has been inconsistent and he's had some awful moments, as he hasn't been sharp. The real story is not having any reliable and trusted alternative so he isn't thrown back in straight away to play full matches. Going into the season thinking we could rely on Callum Wilson again was a joke that gets less and less funny with each game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyUtd Posted Sunday at 16:17 Share Posted Sunday at 16:17 How, for the love of God, can you play football all week, for most of your life, and still be unable to kick a fkn ball properly? Step up Nick Pope. It needs examining by experts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted Sunday at 16:18 Share Posted Sunday at 16:18 I thought we did OK today, against a team that is allowed to have vastly more resources than we are allowed to. I feared the worst after the first goal, but we dug in, competed and really - Cole Palmer (best player on the pitch) was the difference between the two sides. Thought Big Joe did better and we more involved when he went to outside left. I feel dispirited a wee bit, but not down. Clearly there are issues that need sorting out with this side after a really poor summer. January will be key. PSR is working as it should though - Big 6 will be happy as they've managed to disable us, since the takeover and really stall our development.

Not only is it stopping us from improving, it makes it more likely those clubs can poach our better players as they get disillusioned by not being able to challenge for the top 4.

alexf Posted Sunday at 16:23 Share Posted Sunday at 16:23 Chronic lack of pace at the back outside of Tino is always our biggest weakness. Especially as Bruno can't make up any ground so he's essentially pointless being the deepest midfielder. Both goals came about due to lack of mobility. Schar getting no where near the ball and Burn not able to cover in the center for the first. The 2nd, Schar too scared to commit so just backed off to eternity. Both so soft. That doesn't mention the complete lack of attacking cohesion generally though apart from the goal which was mainly down to Tino coming inside and offering something different, we didn't look threatening at all. Not sure Gordon would have changed much. But Barnes was anonymous as fuck. Hardly took his chance to prove he should be starting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
