I think this is one of those very rare instances where Uncle Tony has made a mistake
I think it might be too soon to say that. We always say young players will improve so why shouldn't that also apply to a coach? He is starting out on a very steep learning curve. I'm livid about this afternoon but there's every chance Hurzeler will learn as the season progresses. We were all panicking about the high line at the start of the season and that seems to be less of an issue now. Now he needs to address the Headless Chicken Syndrome.

Since when was the phrase best form of defence is attack removed from the English language.
We've been caught out so many times when going negative, inviting the opposition to break us down, it's not what we're good at. 🙁
I think we are trying for an award for the most generous club for gifting points against bottom 6 clubs.
 


I wouldn’t say “bottled it” but we clearly struggle with seeing out games.
Meanwhile playing out from the back all the time isn‘t high risk high rewards. It’s high risk, low/medium rewards.
Any fool can see our defenders/keeper can’t handle it well enough when pressurised in position.
We are gifting free opportunities every game these days.
lol if bottled it didn’t exist as a phrase in the English language, we’d have had to invent it in the last 20 minutes. Textbook case, put it in the illustrated dictionary

I am hungover. Feel rubbish and that has not improved my mood. I know other sides will point to “should have won xyz” but to fail to win twice from 2-0 after 86 mins vs relegation threatened sides is frankly ridiculous.

I really hope this will see us come out and smash palace.

Baleba getting a silly booking is annoying.

Im sorry but to throw the game against Wolves was just about forgivable. To throw a second game in the same fashion is a f***ing joke. Fab didnt need to bring Igor on. Igor didn't need to dribble in the dangerous area like he did. Terrible result yet again. European place is not achievable if we carry on like this.

Our defenders are actually poor at ….. defending. Under two managers now. In 2022/23 they were protected by two world class CM’s, the moment they departed it unravelled. Dunk‘s decline obvious, JPVH nowhere near the VVD level talked about here at times.

Velts and possibly Igor apart.

I wonder if TB might address this in January or next summer.

Well I don't know about anybody else but I'm feeling reeeeeeaaaaaally grumpy.
So grumpy as well. All was fine until those last minutes. We need to change our mentality especially when trying to see out a win. So many points dropped.

Bottled it suggests fear. I don’t think it’s that so much as naivety. it amounts to the same thing though.

Like he learnt after the Wolves game?
