Yeh - I get your point, but I’m not sure how to describe their performance - they were kind of running around a lot but just always second to the ball, always a bit late, always a bit clumsy, always a bit tired. I couldn’t pull up an individual as not caring, but maybe more not trying very hard?They 100% dont careshit tactics aside did they honestly look like they gave a fuck out there??
Looks like workers who lose passion for their day job because the boss is a soul-sucking cunt.
Rebuild started with the manager.
Or because they’re breezing in and stealing a living before and are suddenly asked to turn up and work hard? Not the only manager they’ve been underwhelming for.
I myself need a Scot, a VERY BIG Scot!!
Mahrez has been player of the year before even with leicester. Son is far too inconsistent to be anywhere such an award. Ndombele's unfitness has been a constant from the Poch days.
Now DAT'S Funny
Too late & a poorly constructed rebuild. Expensive waste & we are barely any better off. Disaster
It’s not aged well, that’s for sure. Since Dembele and the decline of Eriksen, the team’s been in a downward spiral - we’ve bought substandard, but no-one was seriously expecting Doc to be so poor, the CBS to decline so rapidly and so on. PEH has been okay and Tanguy’s improved.
I think Woolwich fans have been rating the players!
Not at all. Poch knew a number of players had to go. Dier for starters but jose gave him a new deal. Bizarre. Sissoko not good enough and like bambi on ice. Aurier an accident waiting to happen. Rose head was gone. May think i sound bizarre but jose has desroyed bergwijn and alli. Both players imo. Winks is a possession team player. Poch had a complex philosophy and we hardly sent any players on loan under him.
So underwhelming they made a champions league final and made the 2 best runs at the league in the last several decades.
What’s the point of 1-3 and 9-10 if no one ever gets them?
But were pretty atrocious outside of that for the 18 months before Poch went. The performance tonight is frighteningly reminiscent of the CL final attitude to my mind. The team aged, two or three key players left and we ended up relying on squad players like Lucas and Coco. The first 11 are weaker than they were in the last season at WHL. Anyway - this is a retread of old news so I’ll say goodnight!
We still have it in us to fluke the cup final. City might have big CL matches around that time. Son will probably be back.
