its mainly the back line, its full of absolute idiots and it shows in every single game. gut that shocking back line out this summer and things will look a hell of a lot brighter next year.
aurier---dier--sanchez--davies
that has to be the thickest bunch of defenders you could field. its a struggle with 1 idiot in the side but 4 is just suicide.

I agree with Mrs P, footballers are a different breed.
Well, bred differently.
I remember seeing in a documentary someone saying they even have people to come and change their lightbulbs and then you realise, those lightbulbs are probably twenty foot high.
It's weird thinking about them in general now I'm older than them, bit like the police.

I think Davies is ok but he needs to play week in weekmout. That season rose got injured and wee Ben played 18 or 19 on the trot he got real good as part of a settled back 4 but hasn't happened for him since.
Was it just me or did he look knackered when he jogged on yesterday? I thought he was going to go down and call for a stretcher.
Just you. To me he looked like he couldn't give a fuck and was thinking "you got yourself here Ryan I've no intention of getting you out" Was the same for the last month of Jose and was not the only one either...
Nah i thought he was gonna whack his phone out and order a big mac
Just to be clear, I was talking about footballing intelligence. A player can have an IQ of 160 and be an idiot when it comes to simple decisions during a game.
Admittedly I also think many of our players are just generally thick, though thankfully not at Darren 'to beat us you have to score more goals than us' Bent-levels.

Thick, self centered and under zero threat of their cushy lifestyle coming to an end any time soon.
One look at the two ballsacks in charge of player sales/recruitment and they know they don't have to bother trying. It's the managers fault innit.

Intelligence and sporting intelligence are unrelated in my experienceApart from Kane, Alderweireld, and Lloris this seems like a collection of downright morons. Even if you leave the question of technical ability aside the vast majority of our players seem incapable of making the most basic of decisions.
I'm not saying we need a team of geniuses, but our players really do seem a bit thick.
:auriergrin:
Take Gazza for instance , in footballing terms he was a genius
Outside the game he had the IQ of a flip flop
I have met several sportsmen who on the field could perform tactical computations and pick options and execute them at bewildering speeds but could barely tie their own shoelaces.
It's my belief that the current squad malaise is a motivational issue rather than a lack of sporting intelligence.
Yes.
Yeah, but how do you brush your teeth?
But how would they fare on The Chase (and not the celebrity version!)?

One thing we know for sure Harry is never going to beat the Wall ya mugs
The fact that a clutch of decent GCSE passes and a high IQ (means virtually nothing) are cited as evidence of 'high intelligence' tells you something about how low the standards are.
All of the things you say are true they were also true when we were top and me and one or two other posters were pointing this out (to wide spread derision) ALL of the points you mark speak to a lack of or very poor coaching. Missing out on Tuchel and Naggelsmann is a big mistake we now must get the absolutely best coach available.
