Our players either too fancy, or too raw, too timid.. All power, no brains.. We don't have pace, and we can't beat people.. No takes on are done by them through all those dangerous errors.. Always looking to pass to some safety channels, making us so easily contained..

This is honestly like watching a match between a group of 12 year olds and a semi pro team. For all the talk of us having a strong spine and "beasts" like Dier, Dembele, Wanyama, Sissoko etc, we have looked so timid. Been a right bunch of gutless pussies tonight

Even though Wanyama has been amazing I think that has effected us a fair bit. Like someone mentioned in another thread having Dier as our defensive mid he just slotted in to the defence thus making us 3 at the back. This gave our wingbacks a space to get in behind. Now that doesn't happen and we are unrecognisable from the team we were last year.

But he will never be benched.

Wanyama hasn't been amazing. Its been the myth of the season so far.

Last season we had a TEAM - players knew their roles and the system and it worked beautifully until that team lost its head at Chelski. This season we don't have a TEAM - we have decent players functioning individually and frankly - it's crap.
What worries me the most is that Chelski (no team ethic last season) and Liverpool (improving all the time) have both moved ahead of us when we should have progressed.
This is MoPo's toughest spell ever as a manager. I hope he can see past his choices of ego and find a solution, else we will become majorly unstuck in the coming months.A massive regression is in progress and I'm not liking it one bit.

I dont think Eriksen Alli Son or Sissokho could tell you what their plan was this game.

So well drilled last year. All over the shop at the minute
