We fall over far too much. Baleba is a giant but looking to go down at the slightest touch. He should be an absolute monster. Not the only one, including fullbacks. Having so many forwards in at once hardly helps. Who is there to do the dull but necessary stuff and get control of the game? I think I’d play Baleba, Ayari AND Wieffer soon. Try to get a grip, then let the forwards do their thing.

Pathetic levels of falling over and head holding.

Two worries :

1. As I've put in the Dunk thread, our defence have the speed of an asthmatic snail

2. We appear to be returning to Potterball where everyone is too scared to shoot and the plan is to walk it into the net

Apart from Carlos Baleba, who shoots every time he gets within 25 yards of their goal regardless of whether it’s the best option or not

The end of the world or a blip on a radar?

Entirely predictable. We're not as good as we like to think we are. I had us down for a 1:2 defeat. Palace aren't exactly kings of Europe, but they don't know what capitulation is, whilst we're a soft touch. I think we needed a wake up call, and unfortunately it was Palace that we allowed to provide it. Thank god we only need 16 points to stay up.

Potter inherited a shit PL squad, Fabian has our best ever squad and is stumbling along a bit cluelessly though?
Not really. New players. New manager. And, oh we’re not a Liverpool that willl win every game side. Personally I think we’re doing ok. Yes, it was crap today but I think we’ll end up 10th or better come May

We have been shit, really shit for a month now. Spurs 4-0 up against Saints AWAY already

I am not expecting us to blow away teams, but I don’t expect us to f*** up against EVERY bottom five club. Leicester also got a spanking yesterday and Wolves lost at home to Ipswich. We have beaten none of them. Excuse me for being concerned about our manager and his tactics, he is hardly inspirational is he?

Thank God we got very lucky in our first few games, otherwise we’d be right in the relegation mix.

Capitulation …. 4-1 last season.
