Let’s face it, we aren’t good enough to be playing CL football.

Defence has been shit. Midfield has been shit. Forward line has been shit.

Any negatives?

We need half-time. The players have lost their heads

System is shit, other than early season teams have adapted how they play against us and we give up more big chances than we create. Recipe for disaster.

Player quality can help but I'm not sold at all on this. We aren't creating good chances and we are constantly giving up 2v2 situations.

Game plan is to give Newcastle the ball any chance we can it seems

How many more times is the director going to favour replays or crowd shots over actually showing what's happening?

We don't seem to be pressing anymore.

This is one of my bug bears with this team. The press is so fucking lazy. Compare that to that lot down the road and its night and day. Genuinely sad really.

More I watch Romero more I am questioning if he is that good. He walks with the ball and takes 15 touches all the time. He only looks at the ball and let his closest player run freely

I really think when you leave as big gaps as our fullback’s do you need to put the lone DM system in the bin. Too much ground for our DM to cover and the CB’s are left so exposed on the counter and during transition/quick turnovers. We need a top DM to play alongside Bissouma/Bentancur in a 2

These are not bad players, sorry. Neg rep me all you like, but the system sucks. Expect this to keep happening until end of May.

I’m guessing it’s because we leave a lot of space at the back so the defending ends up having to be a lot more last ditch.

The idea of Ange's style of football is to really dominate each game and reduce the opponents to very few chances, otherwise its flaws are very apparent.

We still lack quality in certain positions such as quality attackers and perhaps a better CDM, plus Udogie is still a bit raw.

Yeah, struggling to remember when we last dominated a game, I know we pretty much always dominate possession but I never feel like we are in contgrol.

From being in control to crumbling. changes and halftime needed but this could end bad.

Feel Free to. The system is crap it’s fully been worked out, we’ve played one good game since chelsea. 1. The system is suicidal and we are getting cut to pieces by a poor injury ravaged Newcastle.

We need to introduce a swear box for "we've been found out".

Exactly this. There’s a reason the best managers in the world don’t play with 2 inverted fullbacks in a league with countless fast quality wingers

That's on the players as much as it is on Ange and the system.

We've got a bunch of softies out there.
