    For me watching the game Ekdal Esteve and tuanzebe weren?’t at the races

    Cullen Florentino Larsen also we poor and Broja for that matter ( though it must be frustrating thinking the balls coming only to
    Go
    Backwards or a. Extra pass sideways all the time.

    Big Les started well but ran out of steam centrally

    My point being Foster and Hartman were no better or worse than the rest of the team and yet it?’s their fault

    We have a manager who doesn?’t know who to
    Pick in positions- how to react to
    Oppositions tactics - we don?’t start with the best 11 on the pitch - he tells the team and the press he?’s proud of losing to better sides and we?’re young and learning.

    For me we?’re learning bad habits not good ones and we?’ll get beat all the time unless he gives his head shake and sees what?’s happening
    In starting the thread on Broja I was not singling him out. I agree that the team generally is not good enough.

    In the case of Broja, having watched him twice now, I don’t really know why we bought him, what his role is supposed to be. Bashley, even at his age, holds the ball better, links up play at the top end and brings others into the game. SD developed the relationship between Woods and Barnes to make life difficult for defenders. We have nothing even remotely like that.

    The last paragraph epitomises everything others are trying to say Swiss I think we have no identity and or style of play like you say the woods Barnes partnership was a workout for defences and teams knew that before they arrived.

    The contrast is astounding tbh before we were get the ball up to the oppositions last third quickly and get bodies ( or try to ) support them.

    Now we play all of our football in front of the opposing back 4 it’s criminal.- I’m not a big fan of slagging players off if I’m honest but criticism I contribute to- I just think we could be so much better than we are with the right selections and formations and someone who
    Guides the team - it feels to me that we are lost at the minute - no guidance no changes

    It’s insanity repeating the same thing over and over again.

    The lack of heart and desire was there for all to see last night. The effort they Put in against Liverpool where they blocked shots and tracked back, and last night's heartless and lazy performance was quite a contrast.

    Hartman was dreadful he should have easily dealt with the cross for goal 1 and just jogged back for goal 3.
    I also think Foster should have closed down on goal 2 but he was just ball watching

    Another problem with this squad is the amount of players who are out of contract at the end of this season, you can now tell by how performances are dipping that they already have their eye on the exit door.

    It's a $hitfest ballcock. No direction. No fight. Clueless selections. I can't be arsed anymore.

    I said to Mrs S I'd watch the game until we went behind, then I'm off. After 8 minutes I gave Mrs S the remote and went to watch the afternoon's racing on my PC. I can't even be arsed to watch them on't box anymore.

    I agree army. We have absolutely nothing to scare the opposition with. We are obvious in how we will play, lacking any quick threat. Teams know what they will face before they even step onto the pitch.

    Cardy makes comments about the players giving him everything. Well in some cases, if that is true, their everything is simply not good enough at PL level. Yet he keeps playing them.

    Fulham are really not that good but they did not need to be. We are very poor.

    Well they certainly didn't give everything yesterday. What concerns me is that Parker builds his side on a strong defence and this lot can't defend.

    We need a new manager this Year and an experienced CH in the January transfer window. A centre half who can attack the ball and give us something on set pieces, and who is strong and switched on

    Problem is such a player wouldn't join us and we couldn't afford the fee anyway.
