So what kind of football does our manager want to play then?

We don’t press, we don’t pass, we don’t play high energy and we don’t counter attack.

Any ideas? I only ask because he’s been in charge 10 months and it would be nice to see something.

You could play any number from a million permutations of formations and tactics and if your players don’t have the requisite quality you lose. If you can’t create you lose. I could sub in for Guardiola for a match against our lot and have a 95% chance of winning the game no matter what £#%&!ing tactics I chose.
Blaming the manager when the evidence in front of your face is a dire lack of quality is lazy thinking.

That midfield is depressing.

Get the kids on.....£#%&! it.

Mata and Matic make me sick

Matic about the only player who’s done out

1-3

Again it points towards how stupid a decision it is going into a season with only two senior strikers.

How many do you need for one position?

We do all of those things, just not very well.

Nobody is expecting a title challenge, but if you cant get a bunch of internationals to put a better performance than that some of the blame has to lie with you.

Why would you bring on Lingard instead of Gomes when we need to get back in the game

We're £#%&!ing woeful without Pogba.

Can’t see where we score from?

Only hope is a West Ham £#%&! up or penalty.

I know how she feels.

We’re not that much better with him.

I cant wait till he puts lingard on and the game turns on its head.

Absolute shite. Not much else to say.

Ole needs to be more ruthless

Internationals.

Andy Carroll is an international.

Basically this. He’s our best and most important player and it’s not even debatable anymore.

When’s he back?
