    Sh!t defending

    At set pieces.

    Joelinton and Dummett do not know what their roles are, or they're just clueless. Perhaps a combination. Clark and Fernandez completely invisible.

    To be fair, we've defended well in open play (except for Yedlin, he is being destroyed), but I think there's a chance this is another Leicester-type game.

    Coaching. Pure and simple.

    Yep, that's my point Toptoon. The players do not know what to do. A massive contrast to last season.

    Bruce messed up big time starting Dummett and not Schar and as usual he makes no changes at half time

    Players seem to be getting worse.

    Shelvey is a piss poor captain too.

    Aye, GED...was a poor choice.

    As for the goals, the whole point of Bruce's plan...regardless of what he says about attaching football-that's just treating us as if we're stupid- say it and we'll believe it??? Ffs we have the evidence of our own eyes....where was I...oh, yeah, the point of his plan ...is to concede possession but defend well and hit them on the break.

    Getting undone in such a fashion at set pieces points to poor coaching as much as it does anything else.

    He's a Chimpo manager doing a Premier League manager's job. Not for long, though, and I don't mean that in the way most of us would like.

    It´s heart breaking when you think we were ´this ´close to having Rondon instead of Joelinton and Rafa instead of Bruce. With those two at the club everything would be so different.
