Crab Lungs

Thats a tactical thing, the keep ball rubbish. We've got professional footballers who can and have moved it much quicker in recent years... but... ...all we need is a striker, mate.

All we need is a striker, mate

"All we need is a striker, mate"

I know what you're saying but this constant 'all we need is a striker' is b0ll0cks. This is a tactical problem firstly and a personnel problem secondly... always has been.

Its unacceptable that it should get to that stage. Shouldn't have to be losing to have a go at winning the game. Pathetic.

Great tactic when you've only got one person in the box. tres bien

Yup. Everyone thinks signing a striker is the problem, it's not. Chances are at a complete premium 'cos of the sh1te we play. If we moved the ball quickly and we're expansive, we could have Rain Man upfront and he'll still notch a few.

Apparently, we played exactly the same under Koeman. Just need a finisher, mate.

Romeu is OK, but is no Wanyama. That bloke absolutely dominated midfield on his own at times.

Correct. I prefer my midfielder to all sit infront of the porous defence and pass backwards and sideways.

Where the f**k are the CB's? Bertrand running across from LB to RCB. Good save by For... oh.

Correct. Leicester and Wham were a shambles when we played them, an absolute embarrassment. Turning them over was no achievement.

The performance is solely down to the management and has been all season. Many examples of this all season. The problems are two fold; Imbalanced side; lack of defensive cover, asking players to play in roles that they're not suited to and lack of another CDM Tactics; slow, ponderous play, lacking in imagination etc. There are players there that are creative footballers, so lacking in imagination shouldn't be a problem if the tactics are correct. Instead, we're relying on individuals to pull something out of the bag to get us through games.... Right out of the de Boer/Mancini school of thinking.

Its ridiculous really. We're relying on the hope of individuals turning the game for us as opposed to the team somehow getting better. That is a sign of a terrible side. We've got a few players out but we're better than this. Christ.

That's not like Les Reed at all.

How much more of this crap will we have to suffer?

Forster keeping us in it tbf.

Marco Silva PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE

Oh dear. Not their year again.

Crosses to Llorente and being outmuscled in midfield might cost us.
