    the reality is

    In all honesty, we played a good game but were blank up front. THAT has been the problem for a while now.
    Im not going to slate our world class manager for the tactics or the players for the defeat.
    We played well, bossed the game, created chances, looked to score, got stuck in. We just dont have the top striker we have been praying for, for the last few years.
    The glaringly obvious thing that a tiny percentage of our "fans" overlook is the fact we need a striker! We have only been able to bring in 2 loanees in Slimani and Rondon who are out and out strikers on loan because the genious likes to gamble.
    Muto is more of a space filler who can play in a number of positions. We need a goalscorer but unfortunately we dont have one and the best we can hope for is what we get. LOANS because top strikers cost money.

    But if we bought one of those how would the club pay the electricity bills

    The fool actually used that yesterday to justify the slug raping the club

    Is this the Mitrovic who has blanked in his last 3 Premier appearance and his team are three points above us with a terrible goals against ratio after spending £100 million close season.

    Mitrovich wouldn't have made a blind bit of difference with the way we play our game. Too few, low quality chances. Mitro needs it on a plate. Or the team specifically set-up to buzz around a battering-ram type of player. Going forward, we are not the full proposition at all. As much as I like the lad, when Kenedy is our action man making things happen, we've got deep problems.

    Bossing the game? We were just playing half-decent at times. We might be bossing midfield but you can't be bossing a game if you're not scoring.

    Not to put too fine a point of it, we're rubbish in attack. Unikitty carries more goal threat than this mob.

    He wasn't even on the pitch but when we're praying for Salmon Rondonkey to deliver us from the valley of the shadow of death, we're in a sorry fu'cking state.

    I don't like slagging our boys. But I can't say anyone impressed me today.

    Mitro has 5 goals and 2 assists playing in a relegation team .. Look closer to home for Shiite strikers.
