Those fans confident that so many of this squad will click a switch and suddenly just become top end promotion players or a contending team are going to be in a rude awakening. The whole shape and system and way we play is completely broke. Not one individual can even do the basics right. The players look shot. Gone. There needs to be huge changes even with the inevitable drop off at the level below we will see and yes, we will get more of the ball and more chances but are we confident the midfielders will suddenly start to run more, drive through teams and the strikers will be able to create/score goals? I am not convinced. We need a major overhaul and at least half a dozen of this side needs to be jettisoned whoever the new manager is in. Players like Norwood, Fleck, Lundstram, Mousset, McBurnie, Burke, Stevens have been consistently abysmal for nearly a year now. 12 months. The odd game here and there but for the most part they have been putrid. Most of these need to be somehow moved on. This has gone from a team of winners to a complete set of spineless losers. I may be going over the top but this is a side that is one of the worst in Premier League history and even if we have nudged past that derby team, we are right on par with teams like them. We are abject. No skill, no effort, not competing and simply not bothered. If fans were in, this side would be rightly getting pelters. Many of these are on very good wages and most have signed bigger contracts in recent times and yet they are simply going through the motions. Some will say it does not matter and that the season has gone so what does it matter? It should matter. They should have professional pride. I felt tonight was another embarrassing performance. The players are just feeling sorry for themselves but this is simply not good enough. I would rather we get stuck in, take a few bookings, put ourselves about but we are a laughing stock at the moment with one of the worst, if not the worst record in top division football probably in the world.
I take my hat off Deadbat - the perfect rant and agree - you have at least one supporter !
and no doubt we'll play a load of them next time too.
