They don't have guts, that's what it's all about. So frigging weak mentally, it's unreal.
He has more than his share of faults, but I'd say Dier is pretty much the only one with that nasty side, that shithousery in him. Hugo doesn't. Kane doesn't. I think Roddy will help in that respect.
Look at City...Ederson, Cancelo, Ruben, Fernandinho, Ilkay, KDB, Jesus, Sterling...so many of them have got such mental toughness.
Liverpool's got Virgil, Robbo, Hendo, Fabinho, Firmino...even Salah is a right cheeky bastard
Well, it's not that much of an accomplishment to be better than Sanch, Tangs, Big Ben...
And I kinda disagree re VVD. Put him in there with our rubbish and though we may still lose, I honestly don't see how we wouldn't fare better. That's what elite players do. But Romero ain't there (yet).
Spot on. In the prime Poch days, we had a young Dele who was an absolute WUM, Wanyama took those tactical fouls that Jose mentioned in that clip, Dier as you mentioned, Walker, Rose, Dembele. They all had that shithousery aspect to their game.
What baffles me is that these players don't respond to Jose and Conte's tough love approach but they also don't respond to a softer approach like Nuno. They're fucking pussies when called out and walk all over gaffers that allow them leeway.
I watched Doherty for a bit Sunday. Just jogged about, he’s barely a footballer, slow, bad decision making, bad positioning. Winks was woeful again.
It was like they had been told to play in silence… just nobody spoke or cared.
For those players who were whored in the transfer window, do they just care even less now? Have they accepted they’ll be off and are just picking up their pay check?

Bentancur seems to have a bit of that nastiness... isn't afraid to lay a little body into an opponent.
Romero as well.
Fair enough but I’m scratching my head for two worse ones
GLC close I suppose but he can play when he wants to
Slightest pressure and Sanchez can’t
Will be amazed if we get £10million for him
Mate... they are fucking shit. No bla bla bla about toughness, they are midtable quality and it shows. I’m tired of hearing this lacking guts bullshit, even Conte said the players are trying but the quality is very limited.
We need an Ibra-type player to come in and kick some serious ass. Our captain and his deputy don't do enough from a leadership perspective, but to be fair to them, I totally get how at some stage they started thinking "what's the effing point?".
Way past their prime these days, but someone like Arturo Vidal or Chiellini would put the fear of God in them wet wipes.
At the end of the day, it's just disgraceful not to give your all like some of them do. Fair enough if you're a bad footballer like Doherty, Tangs, Sanch and a few others. You ain't good enough skill-wise, it's what it is. But there's absolutely zero excuse for not busting a gut for 90+ minutes every game. Where's their pride ffs? What an insult to fans, most of whom aren't well off by any means but they still plug their hard-earned cash into the club and that's how them lazy twats get paid
Isn't that fundamentally a managers job?
The Roy Keane era is over......
It's the 'I'm my own ship' era now...... Even Ronaldo is falling on deaf ears over at Old Trafford.

I wasn't sure whether to give you an agree or a haha. I can't help but laugh through the pain. You really Occam's Razor'd this one
Thought you were a brit...apologies
Won't be selling that one on the exchange then.Monday night, 8pm KO...
They're just dumb shits. They can't learn.
Was that the one where Winks was waving his arms in the air in exasperation?
Both gash and more evidence that we should get rid ASAP
And yet after the Leicester game, a whole host of users on here were demanding he starts games from then on.
He can't defend. At all. He's a shit defender. He maybe shows up 1 in 10 games as an attacker but because Royal isn't at all attacking, people think Doherty is better. Even though he is not a defender.
Let’s face it they’re both shite and as bad as he’s been I’d sooner see Tanganga at RB
We have real problems in that position
