Eddie and Training

[Nufcian]

The most damning indictment of today-and of how Eddie set us up-is that it was no different than a McClaren/Bruce/Pardew/Allardyce-level performance.

We played not to lose and got exactly what we deserved and that's on Eddie as much as it is the players.

That was my take, and it’s another case of past performances… Miley off/Schar on… I know that is a moment is time, but the attitude and approach is obvious.

The players seem to have picked it up… slow getting forward, no intensity, more worried about the opposition than confident in what we will do to them.

Obviously you can’t be 100% gung ho these days… though KK nearly won a title that way… but we are just a shadow of the team we were 3 seasons ago.

I do think part of that is a lack of confidence we can put the ball in the net, but tell Nick to stay up FFS so at least we have that threat… maybe Wissa will turn it around, but we have had a poor nearly half season punctuated by moments of mostly individual brilliance and intensity only against the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and City.

This guy is a bit abrasive at times but for me he hits the nail squarely on the head, this is a fair summing up of what is/has happened to our team. It's a good watch.

I agree with what Bryan says about the whole thing.

The players shouldn't need to be 'managed' to get up for a F**king Derby.

Burn - Geordie - Exempt from this conversation as he was the only one with any fight in him before the violent attack.

The rest:
Miley - A Geordie - should have been putting the boot in.
Sandro & Thiaw - Milan Derby veterans
Bruno - Cote d'Azur Derbys (lille & Marseille)
Gordon - Merseyside Derby
Ramsdale - North London Derby
Elanga - Manchester Derby
Hall - West London Derby (Fulham)

The players have all had experience of playing derbys. As football people, fans of the game, they care clearly know what is expected in a derby.

Alls I can say is that this needs to be rock bottom and there needs to be a positive response and for the team to not 'Bounce back' but cut this BS out and start being serious about getting the job done.
