Our last few transfer windows have been poor, how much is this due to the 115 cloud hanging over us and very good players not willing to take a chance. If it is and no result out until after January, then January will not bring us any improvement

Is this the goal where Akanji tried to tackle and ended up tackling Walker? Looked so amateurish3 rd goal. Foden x2, Gundo, Walkers x 2 and Akanji all either shit out of tackles or were beaten to the tackle

Spot on...5 straight losses, including 2 absolutely embarrassing beatings similar to the ones we have been laughing at the rags deliver on a monthly basis for years now. I expect to see some consequences from that in both tactics and player selections going forward.
Ederson/Gvardiol/Akanji/Lewis/Bernardo/Savinho/Foden/Haaland have all started in 2 humiliating results in just 3 games. Some other names could/should be mentioned as well, but I expect at least a few of these names to be benched a while going forward, otherwise we are basically just telling the players they can perform at an unacceptable level repeatedly and still getting rewarded with starts as if nothing out of the ordinary has happened. This season is unfortunately most likely gone anyway so now it's time to make some statements and even play youth players ahead of them if thats whats needed to get the message through.
Results like these must have consequences or sooner or later results like these become acceptable within the group of players.
Yes I noted that at the time. Gvardiol persistently caught upfield. However, he is asked to play as an attacking left midfielder because of injuries to Grealish and Doku.There was a point in the game very early on at 0-0 when Spurs had the ball on there left (our right)...there was a huge switch out towards where Gvardiol was supposed to be to Kulachvski....somehow Kulacheski had managed to stray offside (no idea how)....but at that point they had 3 or 4 players running past our midfield streaming forward....at that point it was only a matter of time and that none of the problems had been solved.
The goals we are conceeding are carbon copies of situations every week....
That ball into midfield was always risky, BUT Akanji just left it for some reason.What so he can set more goals up for the opposition
Then get them off the squad ASAP because if they are in reality worse than Walker and Gundo then what's the point of them being here. We're even more fucked than what we're seeing if that's the case...He sees them daily in training and knows they’re not good enough.

Good point. But would pep have stayed off we were looking like failing the 115. Maybe I read too much into his announcement. Pep at Halifax away would be something out of Ted Lasso!Our last few transfer windows have been poor, how much is this due to the 115 cloud hanging over us and very good players not willing to take a chance.

Watching the game yesterday, noticing how often our wingers stopped their runs and turned back inside.
Rapidly approaching octogenarian status, I couldn't help but recall the days of the likes of Paddy Fagan, David Wagstaffe and Buzzer. Memories of watching them tear down the wings and deliver a deliver a KdB type pass.

Rightly or wrongly it seems to me that the comments on this thread and related ones fall into two camps. Either we have a short term problem with various fixes being suggested or we have a club at the end of its cycle. If the first can be accomplished, then well and good. It'll be done. If the second is the issue then as far as I'm concerned it's fine. Given what we have been privileged to see from this team since we first won the PL if we're going to have to have a couple of seasons "off" then I'm not overly concerned. I trust the overall management of this club to handle any rebuild effectively.
