No desire, no intensity, no passion, no killer instinct, awful second half, truly shocking. The players must be being instructed not to take people on one on one and put high floated crosses into the box, both tactics that don't suit our players. Plus this SLOW playing out from the back is just asking for trouble. I don't mind playing out from the back and understand the idea of trying to bring their players on to us to take 3-4 out of the game but it's still causing us more problems than creating opportunities as when we do break the press we don't get forward quick enough and allow them to regroup.
I've been chastised since saying after the Chelsea match that our manager isn't up to this level of football, is tactically clueless and nothing has changed my mind since. We get worse every week it seems and good players are looking so average. We just look so knackered, maybe he's overdoing the training intensity or something as we just can't sustain any sort of intensity for more than 45 mins

Another truly depressing Amex excursion. A fortune invested to regress about four years.
Desperately miss Welbeck. Pedro geeing up the crowd but so slow, he looks like he's towing a caravan.

See second half V Fulham = goal to Fulham
See second half V Leicester = two goals to Leciester.
They are not made accountable and they are not told to run back.

We've drawn 8 out of our 18. That's what is stopping our charge for the higher places. The next stage is finding those goals when we're on top in drawing games
Why? Fabian has sucked the life out of his confidence and many others. He was exciting, accurate and a constant threat under de Zerbi

Well that was sh1t. Can't beat a team who can't win away and have a huge injury list. Someone please explain to me what our game plan is when we get close to the opposition's penalty box?? Not one decent cross from us all game, just tried to bulldoze our way to their goal.

Barring a hit post, Albion in the final 3rd were woeful with wrong options, misplaced passes and over-elaboration.
All the advantages of a subbed keeper and an inexperienced sub at CB and we couldn't get it done at home with all our attacking prowess.
Credit to the defence today - it needed a clean sheet for us to get anything out of the game as we could've gone another 90+ minutes without scoring.

Not really sure what Ayari brings to the side? I don't want to critisise the lad, but can't see what he gives us? Nothings really stood out good or bad other than misses a few chances.
I've defended players like Weiffer who will come good, but Ayari weakens us for me. Adingra looks lost out there too, and won't be at all dissapointed if he goes on loan.
Thought we looked great with the initial set-up, albeit not being able to put it in.

I’m not sure if there’s something wrong with me or my perceptive skills?? Perhaps my other half is slowly drugging me via my herbal tea addiction… but I thought we played well in the first half and dipped in the second, whilst looking reasonably dangerous until we had a shot … which, alas, were either weak and/or lashed uncontrollably over the bar into outer space… for that I’m blaming the players, plain and simple… as for Pedro, that attempted elbow thankfully was as on target as his overall performance… didn’t like the petulance at all… if he’s frustrated, he should try paying to watch his performance tonight… I’ll say no more.
What is apparent is that we vastly over paid for some of new ‘talents’ and Pervis has lost so much pace it’s painful to watch… really sad… not sure that’s on Fabian really.

The fact that we appear to be reliant on Welbeck is pretty damning. He's always likely to get injured, Ferguson has lost his form, and Pedro isn't a number 9. Need to be looking for a backup in January, but it's unlikely we'll get anyone decent enough without spending a (another) fortune.

You're not wrong but who would you play in Pedro's place?
Seriously
