Didn’t watch it but I’m sure the doom is gloomy

Wish i hadnt now

Slot needs a shoeing. You don’t drop everyone to save yourself for the league like Brodge did throwing away the Madrid game.

 

[Modo]

Devils advocate...

Maybe, with only one healthy backup CB, one RB, one back up CM (now that Jones is out), one striker ( due to Isak being out) and one keeper away from playing our third choice, the league cup isn't something to pursue this season?

The optics aren't great though.

 

[mark1975]

I don't think we've looked this lacking in an identity or direction since Uncle Roy. There, that tells you how bad we are right now.

 

[Fabio]

Expected results based on form and based on the team put out.

Some positives:
Rio started brightly then faded. He needs more minutes.
Chiesa should start. Professional and tried for the entire 99. Makes things happen with his tenacity and if he had more experience around him (or a fucking striker) could have been more influential.
Ramsay is our best right back

Negatives
Why play Robbo and kerkez? So no we're fucked for depth at the weekend as Robbo can't play 2 games a week.
Gomez was Gomez
Endo isn't good enough
Macca still struggling
A lot of the kids just aren't good enough

 

[Shadey]

See ya Arne..

 

[rubans]

Yep, but at least Woy had an excuse.

 

[Squiggles]

I was very close to going tonight. Not going so is one of my better decisions in recent weeks. The second half performance was even worse than the weather. What a mess.

Didn't want to say it but yeah, that's how it felt

Just need Salah to sky a pen at the weekend

 

[Fabio]

I'm nearing the end of Impel Down arc in one piece and I decided to watch THIS instead. FFS. Could have bashed out like 8 episodes

 

[mark1975]

That'll be progress on his recent form, as long as he hits it towards goal it'll feel like he's turned a corner

 

[dee]

I see one positive report on Ramsey. Any other feedback?

 

[i_rushie]

Since getting knocked out by PSG, we've won 12 matches, lost 11 and drawn 2. One of the draws was the community shield.

We've gone from mentality monsters to simply monstrous.

 

[Holle]

It's enough. This is Hodgson level now.

The hapless fucker has to go.

 

[tombrown]

Plenty of people (not me) wanted to throw this game, and, if we're going to throw a game that's the way to do it, without even further undermining an already ragged first team confidence.

When I say "plenty of people" I mainly mean Dreamie

 

[Fabio]

Confidence is shattered for the first team, and the u21s now.

 

[tombrown]

Back in the day, October was always a shit month for us. October is over, the comeback starts on Nov 1st

 

[Sculptorini]

Wish i hadnt now

Same

Yay hamstring season

 

[Beamrider]

Absolute shite. If I'd turned up to watch that and got drenched into the bargain I'd be fuming right now.
As it is, I'm just pissed off.

The rot set in v Plymouth.

Yep.

I do wonder if the first team had extra training but then why play Robbo and Kerkez?

 

[dee]

So … next 3 are Villa and Real Madrid at home then City away.

Not expecting corners to be turned

 

[Best Believe It]

Can't see us sacking him this far into the season but I'm still none the wiser as to.how this mess gets sorted. We can't stop conceding goals.

I guess the good thing is we can't really lack any clarity after these three games, we can perform badly, lose badly and heavily and there can be no complaints or excuses from anyone. You spend with the big boys, at least closely look like one.

We cannot play him..

Our quota is accounted for, unless of course he replaces somebody else

 

[6TimesaRed]

Accurate...

 

[Fabio]

Still think it's bollocks that Scots don't count as home grown
