We seem really off it today, no excuses. We can’t be complacent against a team who have everything to lose, especially if we are after a space on Europe.
 


The biggest issue in this game has been over commital, seemingly because we arrogantly thought we didn’t have to chase back or fight for the win against a pathetically poor team.

Mac and Caicedo have been caught forward so many times and not chased back.
Spot on - although the selection hasn’t been great, any team we put out today losing the ball like we have and being constantly caught with our pants down would get hammered. It’s been kamikaze stuff and that’s the sole responsibility of the manager

Everyone needs to get real. With the squad we have we need the majority of all our players getting 8, 9s out of ten. We've had an emotionally draining few weeks that's also been physically intensive. When you have one CB prone to shocking mistakes, another having a rare bad day, a GK showing why he isn't Gordon Banks when he's under real pressure, an 18 year old replacing arguably your most important attacking player and Undav, after all that, and against a motivated team with a shrewd manager, you sometimes get this. We aren't Man City. We can't carry poor performers, passengers, mistakes

Absolutely this. What’s up with them. Need an absolute rocket! No commitment at all. Outplayed and signs of misplaced arrogance.

Everton have been excellent, countered superbly, you can argue that the early goal settled them, rattled us and played straight into their play book, but these boys are professional enough to deal with it. They haven't.

However, we've been uber poor. Poor passing, disjointed, idiotic flicks, slipping all over the place, giving the ball away so easily, crazy. They seem to have no confidence in Buonanotte, so get him off, get March on. Get Welbeck off and get Ferguson in there. I don't think Undav has done much wrong, he's made runs, he opened up space, the midfield has just been shite and shut down very quickly.

Let's see what the second half brings.

Absolute shite. Dunk, Mitoma, Undav, Caicedo all well off IT.

WSU booing at half time again.

We can still get something from the game but the arrogance from De Zerbi to watch this and change nothing within the first 20 mins let alone the first 45 is just pathetic

Oh and we've dropped our most in form player in Gilmour. Sometimes something has to give.
