This is going to be an aston villa hiding or worse at this rate

 

[jimhigham]

Well that’s my score prediction reached already. Can’t imagine it staying this way so it’s looking like it’s going to be worse than I feared.

 

[Robinjakarta]

Fab can do 1 with his suicidal football!

I've stopped watching because of it. Too painful. This is heading for double figures, and it's all on Fabian.

 

[The Fits]

Turned it off at 2-1, genuinely think Hurz was a mistake if he persists with this high line with the defence we have.

I actually think it's the tactics. No defenders would enjoy playing this high.

 

[Hometownglory]

Embarrassing. Playing this high line is niave as f***!

 

[Mustafa II]

I am pretty mystified by the tactics today.

 

[Littlemo]

Hürzeler has much better players to choose from than De Zerbi but we are looking much worse…..

Does he? I’m not sure that many of these players are showing themselves to be better than the ones we had.

 

[Sorrel]

Yes - we'll win it yet!

 

[Solid at the back]

This is going to be an aston villa hiding or worse at this rate

No way we keep this down to 6

 

[Seagull58]

That was actually a beauty, 3-0…

Was our opener disallowed?

 

[Eeyore]

Comedy of errors

 

[Ethelwulf]

Another Hypia appointment I fear

 

[stewart_weir]

The question now is the reaction

 

[pocketseagull]

yesssss

 

[birthofanorange]

f*** me.....this has gone horribly, horribly wrong.

 

[A1X]

Ha ha ha ha Sanchez

Ha ha ha ha ha

Well that’s my score prediction reached already. Can’t imagine it staying this way so it’s looking like it’s going to be worse than I feared.

Well maybe a little bit better

 

[Marty McFly]

I’m a Baleba!

 

[Hendrax]

3-2 baleba

 

[Oh_aye]

It is suggesting a whiff of naivety isn't it.

A whiff?

Naivety has strapped us down and is repeatedly guffing in our faces.

Totally suicidal tactics. And 'getting away' with a number of really high line offsides, isn't good tactics. It's a killer on the defenders nervous system, energy, and the entire teams momentum. In times like this the team has to know how to reset, and keep hold of the ball. Ride it out and go again. We just keep doing the same thing.

I'm afraid it's a feature of all of our games. Getting over run and defenders being turned around with simple, basic balls behind with no cover. This isn't the German 2nd division. You can't manage on optimism.
