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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
