Not even sure everyone on the pitch knows how unacceptable this performance have been and still a couple just sauntering around invisible. So poor. One of those games where a first half sub is needed. Deschamps did it in the WC final and Amorim did it against us. I rate that in a manager imo. This isn’t working, we are getting mauled and embarrassed - make a change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 We set the precedent within 30 seconds when we retreated into our own half and stayed there until 2-0 down when we passed the ball forwards a few times. It's been abject, given City a nice little kick start to their season, nice little reminder of how far we are away from teams like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Don't think it is Eddie setting them up wrong, but he should have had Livra in the defence. Their pace and slick passing has got them three easy goals. Our indifference, lack of intensity and glaring mistakes from our full backs have lost us this game...

Passive and poor from minute 1, we didn’t impose ourselves on the game and got finished quickly. Our slow backline has been killed by pace.

Big Geordie Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I hope this isn't going to be a switch off of effort/form until the League Cup Final. Happened back in 1998 and 1999 too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 The majority of our fan base are away with the faries when it comes to what our real status is. Everyone seems to think we're a top four/ five side, yes we'll float about there all season fluctuating positions, the reality is we're still top eight, we still have a fair few weak players that over acheive most games, but when it comes to crucial moments they're none existent. We need a really good summer to make this side competitive in a top four. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Just now, SAK said: Football options or his ability? I think he’s niave far too often. He seems to have an idea of how a game will go and won’t change the plan once it’s set. We end up not being able to up the tempo, and not giving ourselves a chance to turn things around. He had a plan for this game, and 3-0 at half time, it won’t change in the 2nd half. We likely have a plan already in place for the cup final, and that won’t change between now and then, even if Liverpools first 11 suddenly became unavailable. I also think his teams concede far too many goals, and that’s not just us, it was the same at Bournemouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Just now, The Prophet said: Not watching, but sounds like a potent combination of poor tactics and a few individuals shitting the bed? Looks like the players are totally unsure of what they’re meant to be doing. So they’re not really doing anything. Hard to believe it’s down to a lack of effort or the cup final already on their minds. I would hate for that to be the case. The worst half I can remember from Howe for a long time. At least against Bournemouth recently. They were absolutely incredible with their gameplan and we didn’t adapt. We just haven’t done anything here apart from stand off and show them far too much respect. Looked beaten from the first minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 1 minute ago, The Prophet said: Not watching, but sounds like a potent combination of poor tactics and a few individuals shitting the bed? No, not at all. It's lack of belief and intensity and a complete passivity from everyone on the pitch. There's no way Howe set them out to play like this.

Menace Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 2 minutes ago, KaKa said: Willock is another that is lauded for what he brings going forward, when he's on it. Defensively against capable teams, he really doesn't have any presence whatsoever. We would have been far better off going with the three at the back we used against Arsenal and leaving him on the bench. Been just as bad as Longstaff this season. I honestly don't want to see him starting again. Play Miley or go 2 in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bonk Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 That was embarrassing and not for the first time this season. Passive in the press, soft as shite defending and a non existent attack. Only reason I will watch the restart is to see Eddie adjust players and system. Entire broadcast before kick off was talking about how terrible we were here and we’ve simply stuck to the script.
