Jairo 9? Crikey we have let our standards slip, Werner got a 9 yesterday to put in perspective. It was a solid 8.5 but I thought I’d err on the side of geveosity because he did so well.

Games like this are the ones that make me re-evaluate whether it's worth watching us at all. Not good for your health. We should come with a health warning. I pay for Sky Sports but don’t watch us when we’re on, Roy’s tactics make me too angry. Didn’t watch it today and glad I didn’t.

I’ll lay money that Roy’s response will be to bring back Ayew for his defensive work, drop Jario and go for three defensive midfielders as clearly the issue is the defence.

Lotta predictable crazy here... Yes, we played defensive, uncreative, manifestly conservative football, but that's because we had a 1-0 lead early in the game, and have a strong defensive squad. We were opportunistic enough to score a goal denied due to a 2-inch offside, and conceded because of a TERRIBLE misplay followed by a very unlucky deflection. We were like it from the first minute, lucky to get a penalty, how you can even suggest that we even deserved a draw, is beyond me. In the programme before the game, Roy already had his excuses, blaming no fans in the ground, for this shocking performance. If this is it in the premiership, then I look forward to the championship, what I'd do to have Bielsa in charge.

I don't know what else to say. This is nothing new. Our talent level is enough to avoid relegation, and yet we play like a relegation squad. I can't imagine 3 teams worse than us, and I have no confidence we can even beat teams like Fulham. We sit back for 90 minutes, when we win the ball, no one moves forward. First thing is to pass backwards, or give it away again. No one makes runs because they know they will never get a pass. No one passes forward because no one is making runs. I have no f-ing clue what Roy thinks about this game. We're outshot 20-1 at home by our rivals, with a roster no better than ours. Does Roy think this game was a success because we were up 1-0 late? Seriously, does he even care that we were dominated for 100 minutes? I don't think so. We started the most attacking team for a long time, and it was our worst attacking performance ever. So...WTF? You can't change the entire squad, so changing the manager is the only other option.

What about the 5 chances they should have buried which they didn’t. Is that down to our amazing performance?

That was unacceptable today and the cause and culprit is the Manager. Edited by The Dolphin (18 Oct 2020 4.31pm)
