The fact that we lack a baller in the middle of the park is just too detrimental. No one wanna assume that responsibility. Those weak tarts
We've got Lo Celso and Ndombele who can be that player, but they need a DM to serve as a platform for them to play off of. It absolutely beggars belief that one has not been brought despite the glaring need for years now.

He needs a whole new team. We need 5/6 first XI players to even be competitive.
He needs to get the fuck out of this club. Did you see his transfers at United? We're going to end up with a big budget after player sales (e.g. Kane is way too good for a bottom-half side) - if he's allowed to invest it then we're dead for a generation.

Sunday league at the back, too predictable going forward. Just too slow and cautious and easy to defend against if you’re prepared to put a shift in, which prem teams are.

Today was terrible.

This performance is fucking inexcusable.

I’ve always been supportive of Jose Mourinho and felt the criticism was harsh but that changes today.

He’s got a full strength team and has had 12 weeks to work with them. We looked worse in the second half than we have done under Jose all season.

Disgusted doesn’t cut it.

I honestly believe that in setting the team up not to press it makes them passive. Pressing the ball, even in your own half only, should be an absolute minimum for a team in this league. How people on here can defend this passive rubbish is beyond me.

WE WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL PLAYING PASSIVE FOOTBALL!

Defensive intensity has been absolutely appealing.
Every time a Sheff Utd player receives the ball in their top third, we gift them five touches before anyone goes to meet them.

Added to the same old one pace drivel up front and we get what we deserve.

True Spurs, chance to close a gap and we are completely unable to take it.

Very disappointing
