There are ways. Starting with playing our two best players from last week would help. But I am no tactician, that should be his job, and ge wasn’t very good at it today.

You are brave posting such a comment, how on earth can you be a fan.
We were woeful against the poorest Everton side I can remember seeing. We should not be stating the bleeding obvious though, as we are fans?!
The only time pickford had to dive was to waste time at the end of the match. Shocking performance, why start Georginio on the bench, again!

Of course. Doesn’t change that some comment are exaggerated in their negativity.

Totally unenjoyable afternoon. We could still be playing now and we would have scored. not one bloody shot on target all game to test shitehouse pickford.
oh and queued for 40 minutes to get on a Mill Hill bus.
those are the days when I really do question the point in going anymore especially as not going away anymore.

What a depressing afternoon.
Right, everyone back to the Trump thread.

So poor today can’t breakdown a defensive side, Pickford clowning about the whole game never had a save to make.

And what made it f***ing worse is they were down to 10 men for the last 15 minutes! When the lad went off and extra time added!

The fisticuffs at the end were the best bit.
Certainly the most passion showed. 'Bit late for that now' I muttered to myself.

We come out and praise the team when doing well. What's the harm in stating the obvious. Do you not think that was woeful? How many saves did Pickford make.
You don't always need to be defending the team fella. They were shockingly bad. How many times did the crowd get on their feet. It was a crap performance, simple as. I'm not sure I've ever seen us play a match where the opposition keeper had not been made to work.
Let's not talk set pieces either...
Apologise for stating the obvious... it was crap.

First half was awful; the second half seemed better, but I never really believed we'd score. People around me were shouting "shoot", but every time anyone did it went miles over the bar.

The only criticism I do have of the club is this: Every manager new to the PL comes across this, and seemingly has to learn the hard way that no matter how good their team’s passing game, a determined low block is insanely difficult to beat.
Why the hell aren’t the club employing someone whose job it is to ensure that each time a new manager comes in, they’re told straight out, first day on the job, that however good we are, we’re not going to beat a low block with slow determined build-up, and remind them of this when games against Everton and other opponents who play the same way fall due.
The only way to play against a low block in the PL is to invite the opposition forward and then counter at pace. Have them out of position up the pitch and chasing back toward their own goal. Once they’ve set themselves in their 6-4-0, we’re on a hiding to nothing even if we played all week.
I am bored of each new manager being left to work it out for themselves, this is a failure at club level, not a failure of FH personally, he’s been left to suss it out for himself, and he shouldn’t have been.

Went to watch L1 instead today. Our result was entirely predictable. And so it transpired.
Most action they’d seen all afternoon.

Probably because 4 of those were away with the home opposition tending to be more expansive. You'd never expect Arsenal to sit back against us either.
We have 30mins, maximum of 45mins of decent performance in us each game. If we don't capitalise on it during that spell, a draw is the best we can hope for. From memory, I can't remember a decent 90min performance this season.
