I dont believe the mental/confidence line he is peddling. I know he's not gonna come out and say "yeah these lot are shit" but that is the reality.

We barely have a PL level attack.

Richarlison, Solanke and Muani is a proper fraud group of CFs. Beyond that you are just hoping for Tel or Xavi do to bring some energy when they get on but 99% of the time they do fuck all.

Bergvall is not a 10 and is just back from injury. We have no wingers.

I think the Kudus injury was the final nail in the coffin.

You cannot win games if your attackers pose no threat.
 
He’s not at all. Was really good against AM. Slim pickings but feels like we’ve played our best football with him on the pitch and playing well. Brighton away, Man City at home. Dortmund, Copenhagen? AM.

Playing well against Atletico means nothing, the PL is a completely different beast.

He’s just too small and weak to hack it at this level, Frank, Tudor and De Zerbi have all clocked him straight away. With Xhaka up his arse he’d have spent the entire match on the floor.
 
They could have blood elsewhere on their bodies if our Club goes down .

My guess is that they’ll all be miles away when we come to play Everton .

Probably the best thing ; for all concerned.
There'll be riots if we're already down come the Everton match. It'll be the most toxic atmosphere any of us will have ever seen, and the supporters will be out for the blood of ENIC, Lange, and Vinai. I guarantee none of them will be there if that's the case.

I mentioned this before ; but the scenes at WHL when we went down in 77 was only surpassed by the 84 UEFA Cup win imo . It was 100 % positive; and we rode that wave into Div 2 and had an incredible season. And ( just about) bounced back . Signed Ossie and Ricky and the rest is history.

IF we go down this year ; it will be an unmitigated and inexcusable disaster. I reckon the atmosphere will be toxic with a capital “ T “ and then some . Fuck knows what will happen. I can’t see everyone simply politely filing out in stunned silence ; put it that way And rightly so .

People need to be held to account at the end of the day .
 
He sees what we all see, that Xavi and Tel are flimsy players who would have been absolutely bullied by that powerful Sunderland side. Both of them had zero impact when they came on. So he went for the more experienced options instead.

We have to stop pretending that there is any difference in quality between our attacking players. They are all very poor and have hardly scored any goals in the league.

His subs were shit though, there was no need to take Gray and Bergvall off. Hopefully he knows now that those two have to be out there for the whole match if we want to win.

Simons was alright when he came on.
Him and Tel have some creativity.
Solanke has none - there would be no risk playing Simons instead of Solanke or Gallagher.

ThIs tepid try and grind out a result with attributiional football is not working.

Really bad from RDZ today - no point if he is just the same as the others.

Hopefully he will learn. Fast.
