Good positive points, but we can't keep chancing our arm with "functional" performances. We look to "graft" a result rather than craft a result. This is a mid-table mentality and the size of the club we are, we need to "swagger" rather than graft imo!

We didn’t do any grafting . We were bloody lucky, just the same as Bodo. So many good chances they missed. Vicario back in the good books. Kolo Muani will make a difference. Get Gray in midfield.

But many times have average players albeit not as expensive as our shite but coaches at least get them
Organised and not so easy to break down. Thing is the ones who will say we didn’t concede will say it we are better at the back. However they could easily have had 5. Bodo could have had 5. Whisky we created zilch. What’s more worrying is the number of games we go in after first shite expecting things to change 2nd half. However mostly we have been even worse 2nd half. Today same we were awful except last 10 mins when we upped the pace. What does Frank say at HT?

Relieved to get a point from that performance.
Vic excellent, Archie and Wilson good, Richie, Lucas and Pedro - bad day at the office.
Hope Wilson's injury is something or nothing, as we need bodies to be fit for Sunday.
Why was the stadium half empty?

That was a dull and boring performance.

It's clear the squad needs an overhaul.

Vicario did some fantastic saves today.

Shocking, it's all about surviving till January when hopefully we can start to address the mess, we have found ourselves in.

It's Jan.... Even if we only muster 2 players that make a significant impact we'll have done terribly well.

(...a la Kulu/Benta window)
 
A point away is decent but nothing happens. No goalmouth action,no excitement and no feeling that we are going to score. Not just Frank but how any manager can play Richarlison is fucking clueless. Can’t believe how little a footballer can offer in a game. He should not be a Tottenham player and is a man down.

Vic was good but we know he’s the type that can have a shocker from game to game
Porro is the most up and down player we’ve had in years
Mickey is just class
Danso is a 100% type who gives everything
Archie not a left back
Paulinha has been great. His timing with his tackling is phenomenal. Glad we have him.
Bentancur gets it rough from some but I think he’s a steady player. Nothing great but not shite.
Bergvall miles off it and has no clue how to play as a 10. He plays too central and too high and can’t affect the game.
Odobert has the tools but he’s got no self belief.
Kudus is our best player but needs better players around him.
Spence doesn’t really do anything for me apart from being a brilliant 1v1 defender. Offers nothing n the ball
Sarr struggles with the basics and overhyped
Johnson is a fucking ghost
Kolo Muani will prove to be our best striker because in 20mins tonight you can see he can take the ball in and get us up the pitch.
Simons is a player but not started well and is playing in a team that look devoid of ideas.

No it wasn’t that bad. Monaco arent a bad side. We didn’t play well but with more conviction could have won it in the end.

People seem to have forgotten how shit we were last season. Maybe they should remind themselves by looking at the europa league group game performances again.

It was that bad.

Without Vicario making several world class saves we take a pasting tonight.

4-0 wouldn’t have been unfair

He’s made us more solid, but he’s working with dross as far as attacking players.

We’ve overpaid for mediocre players.

You don’t know if Glasner even wanted to come and Parish certainly wouldn’t have been easy to deal with.

Look it's time to realise that we need to settle down to a manager who can BUILD a strong team. Hopefully we will give Frank the chance to do that.
