We gave got to beat Woolwich after this !
It isn't good enough to win the league, or probably get into the Champions League. But a lot of that is down to players who have no confidence; they were belittled by Mourinho, and Nuno has no idea what he's doing. Brighton and West Ham are miles better than we are this season. Do they have a starting 11 better than ours, in terms of talent? Of course not, but they have managers who know how to work with what they have, and get the best out of the players.
I really don't want Poch back.Fairly cheap alternative until PSG sacks Poch, innit.
Kane ain't a leader. Always goes missing when the going gets tough.
Been saying it for ages, but people want to cut him slack because he cost a lot and came from Spain
If he was English and we signed him from Blackburn he’d be getting turned on by now
How many of our players would actually start for Leicester.He played well for 25 minutes. Half an hour at best. Then he was literally a corpse on the pitch. Completely went missing. How many times do we see exactly this when he does start games? But people get excited time and time again because he does one or two nice things in the first half of games. And then it's "Oh,, he can be world-class if he just...". It's bollocks.mayeb
our squad indeed is appalling.Blaming Nuno and suggesting he should be sacked is just dumb. It will achieve f all. LOOK AT OUR SQUAD!! LOOK AT OUR ‘BEST’ STARTING 11. IT ISNT GOOD ENOUGH.
For backing see Traore before that two windows of nothing I would say backing is an issue.Poor decisions and failed opportunities more than backing.
And no players who set a high enough standard to emulate.
Our two best players are on the wane. Son is still a great player but he's 30 next year. His best days are behind him whether you're brave enough to admit it or not. Kane has evolved as a player but clearly isn't the player he was for years when he was absolute dynamite in the box. We've seen the best of both of them. And Kane clearly would rather be anywhere else now, even if Son is more than happy to put up with such average dross for the remainder of his career.
I feel like most people's expectations on this forum are unrealistic. It sucks losing to Chelsea but they are better than us and have more resources right now. They will probably win the title.
We are just getting to the part of the season where our first team can finally start playing together regularly.
I thought it was encouraging the way we set up and the first half performance. Second half was shit but this is to be expected from time to time (new manager/players). We are building!
Can we give the manager a chance? He's trying to figure it out and has been dealt a shit hand. The whole international thing and late appointment really hasn't given him a lot of time to make the squad his own. Let's give home another month or so before throwing him under the bus!
Fucking sick of this. ZzzzzzI feel like most people's expectations on this forum are unrealistic. It sucks losing to Chelsea but they are better than us and have more resources right now. They will probably win the title.

Enough with all.of the insults and arguing. Can't be good for your mental health mate. Log out and go do something you absolutely love!You seriously are fucking nuts.
Drop Kane?The diamond we played today is the right direction I think we need, probably better to have Skipp today and lose alli or Lo Celso but it was a risk either way.
Nuno for me isn't doing anything particularly wrong, he's just not had the easiest start with injuries etc. Kane has also seemingly dropped off completely and is becoming a passenger more than help these last few games in the league.
When Ndombele and Lo Celso were subbed, it was correct again from Nuno. Both men were sitting out on the right wing, 2 centre mids, not showing for the CBs. We literally had 4 CMs on the pitch and for large parts of 2nd half you couldn't see any in the middle. It was truly bad if anyone watches the 5 mins before them two go off then the 5 after they go how Skipp becomes the anchor to show for the CBs.
Today we played the likely 1st or 2nd for the league. They're better than us so the defeat isn't shocking it's just how bad we became in the 2nd half. Totally pressed in our own half and rarely got it up the pitch.
Our best team is close to or what we had on the pitch today. We have to commit to this now and hope a consistent run will let the team start to click.
Worrying times for us, we're just so so underwhelming way too often. Nuno does need time to see what his best delivers but I doubt he will get much.
