I'm so sick of seeing Soucek floating headlessly around, and Alvarez not being able to do anything positive

The problem is you can do all this in the 1st half but you chose to play it safe. Potter shouldn’t go down this road. Loppy and Moyes did this, it doesn’t work. Start the game like you want to beat the team your up against rather than just “exist”. It does not work in this league.

 

 

 

 

 

Moyes and the Moyes lovers will say it does and it got us European football. When I compare to how intelligent and hard working teams like Brentford, Bournemouth, Fulham and Forest are we look pretty sad. Just not seeing any gameplan or invention. This team is stale and slow. Given we replaced so many players it shouldnt be. 

[collyrob]

That’s one useless cսnt that Greek fucker

[goose]

Heads need to roll for this. We’ve wasted hundreds of millions of this pile of shit.

steidten can fuck off & Sullivan can stay the fuck away too.

[collyrob]

Guilherme on for Edson please. Soler in the 10 and gill on the left

[Keep dreaming]

There isn't a goal insight tonight. We won't be gifted two goals as we were last match.

But the subs shows that the kids sho6start before many of the veterans.

[claret on my shirt]

How the fuck is Alvarez still on the pitch, He makes foul after foul and his passing is fucking shocking. Orford looks to scared to pass forward incase he makes a mistake. We need to sell 75% of these players. 

[dealcanvey]

Potter has inherited a mess of a squad. He can’t exactly go out all attacking with what he has available can he?

we have the slowest midfield in the world with no outlets. It’s always going to be bleak viewing with what we currently have.

any chance the young Brazilian gets on? Surely this is a game for him if he is even worth half of his 25m price tag.

hard to believe we spent 130+ m this summer alone.

Scarles reminds me of a young kieran Tierney the way he plays. Proper all action left full 

[claypole]

That squad is full of absolute shit

[Takashi Miike]

Ings chasing down their keeper just now, not one fucker helping him. Lazy fucking cunts

[Keep dreaming]

Did anyone notice the pressure Soucek made and was turned around like he was a oiltanker at sea.... Hahaha laughable 

[Any Old Iron]

All over the pitch we’re just way too slow. We’re going to get fuck all from this.

[threesixty]

Gonna have to take Alvarez off or we will be out playing with 10. 
put Guilherme on and let’s see what happens. 

[Full Claret Jacket]

Well you can't say he won't give youth a go .

 

 

Dont see why we dont give the Brazilian kid a go. Depth of the squad seems poor once you get a couple of injuries. Its disappointing to see such negative football again. Potter needs a bit of time but we have been really poor in his first couple of games. No new manager bounce. 

[David LE]

Has anyone ever seen Kilman talking to his team mates during a game? I'm sure he has no power of speech. As a centre back that's pretty essential I would have thought.

[nychammer]

Alvarez needs to be careful, already on a card and committing fouls all over the show.

[nychammer]

We'll still be playing PL football next season. Sullivan has already met his business plan so no need to spend.

Us fans* will just have to suck up going through the motions for the rest of the season.








* Site cսnt: what do you mean "Us", white man?

 

 

would agree PL survival would sullivan's operating model but spending 400M to achieve that probsbly wouldn't be, which makes this all the more galling.

[collyrob]

Id take aguerd JWP and cornet back into the squad ASAP

[Orange Hammer]

Good to see a couple of youth players coming on

[nychammer]

men and boys in the midfield. Dosent help when you star CB waives them on to score.

Triple change  - Ings, Scarles, Orford coming on. Bold move indeed. 

[Any Old Iron]

It’s no use plodding round like this for the rest of the game. Potter has to spice things up and have a go. We’ve nothing to lose.
