nope
but we certainly shouldnt be this bad

going down we wil with the manger
these players have proven they can battle and that on their day they are a top 12 team

but just keep using the same 11 all the time and only using 1 sub in a loosing game is shocking

every team knows how we will set up and how we wont change things

but look at the players and ask yourselves why we are atthe bottom

dubravka
a decent goalie
dummet a steady left back
lascelles some say a potetial england player
yedlin possibly out of his depth
fernadez a good cetre half would get in a lot of prem teams outside the top 6
ritchie when allowed to attack a good player would get in most sides in the prem or match day teams anyway
shelvey some pundits cant believe this lad isnt in the england squad
diiame was class when we were on form last season
kennedy can rip defences apar if allowed to attack and has something in front
perez will run in circles all day i cant believe rafa keeps playing him
muto judgemnet out
joselwho
why do we have him here and not mitro or gayle
the manager
run out of ideas ( dint have many in the first place )

most of that tema finished 10 last season

i would say we are better in the back with fernadez so an improvement

i would say with mitro and gayle we would be bettr up front

than we were last season

the only thing is we are playing defensive footy with attacking players
