2yrs of cheap buys, contract extensions just to negate the need to buy anyone and free transfers are the only thing that has caused this. Txiki et al have fucked up massively.

your not far off there mate, its called neglect off duty.

 

[Keeper!]

One day closer to the transfer window (or end of the season). That’s about the only positive I can take right now.

1 point nearer 40, that's a huge positive

Good start to both halves, the rest was turgid pap.
Haaland needs a spell on the bench, offering the square root of zip all at the moment.
After the missed pen, not much happened from us.
Doku looking well off the pace.
Phil continues to look like the invisible man, offering so little these days
Ake was very good at the back
Game was there for the taking at several points in this match and we couldn't do it, couldn't beat a mediocre Everton side.
Only 6 days until the transfer window opens, yippee.

If we had a striker back up option Haaland would've been benched weeks ago. A striker back up option, hmmmmm there's a thought City ffs

Well that's depressing.

Only if you prefer us not to improve.

What times Sinbad on, need to forget about football today.

Cold turkey to look forward to. Literally, cold turkey.

In all fairness, we were the better team out there today and could have won it. 66% possession, 24-8 in shots, more than three times the amount of XG, more than twice as much even if we dont consider the pen.
But we were playing an awful side at home and the difference should be much bigger than that, especially when we are chasing a result more or less all game. When the difference is not bigger than this, results like this happen. At least they do when are completely lacking confidence at the moment.

Most has already been said, and it's clear to all that this squad is not good enough and cant handle injuries. But that doesn't excuse that we currently are the easiest side in Europe to play against. Park the bus and we will struggle to create anything but low quality chances. Boot it long on your fastest player and you will create enough to score. Its simply not good enough and the complete lack of belief and urgency amongst our players is alarming.

Tim Cahill didn't score. That's another positive.

I do miss Brookside

Only if you prefer us not to improve.

It's depressing that this dog shit performance was seen as an improvement.

I'm not even disagreeing. It just really underlines how fucking shite we are.

Same old, same old.
