Our players are human. Our bad form is dominating another megabucks team 22 shots to 4 and 66 per cent possession to 34 per cent. We're suffering as a result of a long run in the CL giving us no time off.If we are as bad as you say then why bother extending Pep's contract. Sure we aren't playing well but to say that we are beyond poor is taking the piss.
We may be two bad results away from a crisis but we are also only two good results from being right back in the mix.
A lot of drama queens on here tonight.
If you read my post I suggested giving Steffan a run in goal. Bernardo is struggling and I've no idea why. I guess I give him a less rough ride because since the mendy tweet he's never had a run of games. I suspect he will be the one left out on Wednesday.He's shit but no more shit than half the rest of them. Do you ever call them out though ? Ederson today...shit. KDB today...shit. Bernardo today...shit. Laporte today...shit. If you're dishing the shit out, make sure you spread it evenly so you don't miss any of the culprits out.
Funnily enough I was thinking exactly the same myself earlier! Nobody would be expecting it and surely it would catch the opposition off-guard.
Park the bus and use Kev to transition the ball up to our pacey forwards; bit like what Spurs do with Kane and Son.
Seems every time we are hit on the break, we concede. Therefore, playing high up the putch is our problem. Unfortunately though, we never learn!
Thought that myself for ages. From the very first ball kicked every opposition player takes up their instructed position meaning all eleven behind the ball and we pass and pass across the park without creating anything, then it is only a matter of time till the long ball hits us. If I was managing on Wythenshawe Park I would sometimes say let's try something different today. The players must be so disheartened facing these opposition tactics every week and need some inspiration. A change (tactics) is as good as a rest.Funnily enough I was thinking exactly the same myself earlier! Nobody would be expecting it and surely it would catch the opposition off-guard.

Torres and Sterling will do nicely and Jesus is not exactly a slow-coach. Plus, we simply have to get another striker in ASAP and doubless that individual ' will have pace. But, i take your point.We aren't fast enough to counter anymore
Oh I'm seeing it the same as you believe me. All 4 spurs attacks tonight were because we were pushed to far up the pitch, and a bit of carelessness/bad positioning, and we're done every time. My mum texted me blaming Ederson, but 4 times he was put one on one with a forward and no cover to help.
That said our profligacy at the other end doesn't help either, so yes the conclusion is that we are a bit of mess.
How can Spurs fans be happy with their team parking the bus and having four shots. Spurs are an ultra wealthy club, but they play in the style of a Burnley with better players. We rarely played like that in the dark days.
United, who we have been laughing at, are about to go above us. Brutal
I think our central pairing is much better, but as an overall unit is suffers because of the system we play, as aptly demonstrated today.Well has our defence significantly improved since his arrival
The thing is when it was working everybody bought into it because they could see the results and success. Now we've been sussed a bit and it's not working doubts set in. He can scream and shout as much as he likes on the training ground but deep down they'll be thinking, " Yeah of course you're right mate, well it didn't work when Leicester hammered us or when.a poor Tottenham .beat us. Or when West Ham and Leeds held us." They will think like the fans are thinking you can bet on that, that we've been sussed and the tactics aren't working. Now he either wins them around quickly and things change, or it's a slippery slope from here.
Will we?they say don’t look at the table until 10 games have gone
after 10 games we’ll be at least 2 points ahead of them.. maybe more
And yet Ederson gets a free pass again. Tony Coton would make us a far stronger team. Shot stopping and talking to the defence.Well yes if we don't let them shoot (2 shots 2 goals again!) and only if we have some pace in the team - most of our pace was on the bench - again
You've obviously forgotten the Pearce era.
Fan's are only interested in winning. If they play great football as well that's the icing on the cake but do you think Spurs fans are worried about that tonight sitting on top of the table after beating us 2-0? Are they fuck, they will be wanking about a Mourhino masterclass and dreaming of the title come May.
