It's all rather perplexing that ordinary journeyman professionals have no problem finding the back of our net whilst we have players who, in their time have scored wondrous goals and broken goalscoring records, rack up more misses when they deign to shoot.

For me the difference is that most goals we concede involve pace; opposition on the counter and us legging it back, whereas most of our chances come at the end of slow build up. Were the chances other way round I think the stats would also be reversed.

Exactly, the implosion all started with Gvardiol. The whole momentum shifted at that point when we had been totally in control. He was at fault for the first two goals tonight just as he was for the first two against Spurs. He still looks good going forward and has scored some very important goals for us but his main job is to defend. We need a proper left back who knows where to position himself rather than be shoehorning in a converted midfielder/ centre back. Too often he drifts inside to the central position where he is probably more comfortable leaving acres of space on our left for counters.

Poor judgement from Eddie who was never going to reach that through ball for their third and it seems every shot against him is going in. Also he doesn’t command his box and too often stands on his line rather than coming for the ball when a corner or cross comes in. Maybe time for Ortega to get a run of games?

Eddie fine for now but a few more errors simiar to last night's clusterfuck then why not but Ortega isn't any better either.

The fact that the team as a whole have come to the end of it's cycle and that the new signings, as young and inexperienced as they are, aren't going to stamp their mark in a team that's had a huge drop off.

I have to agree with this, We are obviously missing players injury wise but that aside it's a team that's coming or is now at the end of it's cycle and it needs refreshing.

The players we have brought in are young and from different leagues so that part of it will obviously take time, They are also playing in a team which is nowhere near their peak and coming towards the end of their careers which makes things more difficult for the new players. Lacking serious leadership is another concern we are having it's been a long time since we've seen players finger pointing during games which is happening quite a lot these days.

We need a couple of transfer windows to freshen up the squad and obviously get important players back from injury.

Whilst I agree many of these players are aging and the overall performances are slow sluggish. Teams have caught us that simple term we don’t change or can’t change and adapt
 
Oddschecker has us 4-1 on to get a playoff place. Sounds about right.
But still 13/5 favourite to get to the final.
Do they know something we don’t. Is that the Tony Barton effect?
