Bale, GLC not match fit. Reggie and Vin have only just got here. Dele has not been playing neither Berg.
Maybe just starting Lucas instead of either Berg or Dele might have made a difference?

I would take Erisken back
To be honest though, reality checks like these are very good for this squad! As long as these losses are not too damaging and in this case, we have time to correct course.
It’s a process that we as a team has to build up towards. It’s a work in progress and all of us need to gain that perspective.

Ah yes, the rarely mentioned 71st Amendment.IT'S MY LEGAL RIGHT TO MELT IF I WANT TO
Yes, the pattern is awful, gutless and capitulating performances when we sit back and think "how good are we".
I'd also forgotten about Shkendia, Plovdiv and Burnley! We were great those nights as well!
Playing like PL winners one week and Accrington Stanley the next, that's the pattern.
Like Jose, I’m pretty much sure what our starting 11 should be. Only undefined variable is Bale / Lucas / Lamela on RW (which depends on Bale’s actual gameplay when fit); and do we play Tanguy and GLC together or one with PEH + 1 (probably Sissoko).
Problem is that this is the most intensive fixture list we will ever likely face..... The usual 'art' of rotation has somewhat flown out of the window.
We can't afford second string players to slope about lacking motivation as we represent a cup-final in every one of these group games.
You don't seem to have the faintest grasp of football. Maybe another easier sport is for you? Curling?
I have to agree. In fairness I think we were unlucky against Newcastle. But the performance against Everton was dire, West Ham was a tale of two halves as was Southampton. Burnley was not great, tonight was terrible and most of the game against Plovdiv was poor. That represents a fair chunk of the season so far. We are such a ridiculously Jekyll and Hyde side
I disagree
I don’t think he realised how bad some of our squad players like Aurier Sanchez and Winks are
He does now
Hair?
As in curling one out? It can be fun but is it a sport?
I didn't wear my lucky pants v Everton... L
I DID wear them vs. West Ham... D
I wore them again vs. Burnley.... W
And STILL had them on tonight!!!! L
Strange, isn't it?
GO FIGURE!!
I am being petty here, but if not for Davies mistake, we wouldn't have lost, and without the pressure to equalize, we might be more comfortable and nick a victory. A draw is of course better than this frustrating defeat.
Feel like shite, but it happens, so let's move on.
I don’t know the ins-and-outs or fitness conditioning, but surely we need to play every game like it’s our cup-final? Leave it to management to look at ‘data’ and rotate; every player leaves everything on the pitch (as it were, not in a Lineker Italia ‘90 way).
But was really shite the rest of the time
Sanchez made a great tackle but was shite for the rest
We can’t keep carrying passengers like these two and , sadly, Dele
Everton - Simply poor.
Newcastle - Battered them for 90+ mins
West Hame - Sloppy.
Tonight: Shit
It's only really the latter 2 of those games you could describe as complacent.
It didn’t run around enough to get any conditioning - unless your talking about hair conditioning?
