Get rid of JV next. He is so weak under a challenge. Why was he at halfway line for no reason.

What he does best he doesn’t seem to want to do as often. Run with the ball into space, pass, cross quickly or shoot while running direct. Then he makes brain dead passes and decisions that make him look like a different footballer.

So simple, and as soon as they piss around the danger returns.

Then Fatawu instead of clearing, tries to blast it off the attacker and it falls perfect for him to cross

Sending the ball up quickly, Mav passing the ball quickly and Thomas made a decent cross and didn’t pass backwards. What is happening?

Fatawu makes so many bad passes and choices when standing still, yet when he runs he makes things happen and others get into space.

💯And get Nelson to pass and control the tempo.

It’s so easy for them to slip back into this. We are are the back foot as soon as they start pissing about again. Brain dead.

I’d rather see Jakob punt the ball out than pass to JV. The clown can’t help himself, from no pressure and unmarked players to passing to the opposition under a press.

AI?

Him and Thomas have zero defensive instincts or application.

Pass forward quickly instead of around the back, a winger running with the ball and passing into space. So simple. Right?

Two things this team and Marti are know for doing all season. Getting the ball out quickly and Ayew feeding the ball to the wingers. If that happens we still have 10 step overs, standing still and ignoring the quick cross.

Ayew bingo. Score like a regular forward. take long shots constantly. hold up the ball and ignore everyone around him and fall over. stop running and pass back during a counter. fall over causing a counter

JV and Thomas at the back. I expect the same mistakes and slowing everything for no reason to just get caught high up the pitch. Let’s see if Marti has fixed any of the mistakes that cause our goals.

And after the exact same performance, Marti will come out with the same waffle. The Bangladeshis will blame it on Hamza number 1 not playing and the social media will keep reposting Vardy’s goals to distract the happy clappers and get positive content in peoples algorithms.

Remove JV and we win this. Play him and it will be exactly the same. He causes the panic at the back by inviting pressure and the cause of most counter attacks due to him needing to pass so high up the pitch to a marked forward. It’s sad watching Ricardo play exactly like Thomas. Stands still, doesn’t move into space and sends it back. He has also added not being able to pass to a player. Wingers that run into space and midfielders who don’t pass the ball behind them would be a game changer to these clowns. The winner against Norwich showed how easy it was to do what every team so far does to us every game. Monga, Fatawu and Mav on the pitch for a stand still, step over and hit the defenders shins contest.

Vesty in the team and nothing will change. Unless he stops slowing everything down.

And because of this we are seeing his ability regress. He hit a brick wall and turned backwards because of the poor coaching and lack of leadership. No one to push, listen, develop and tell him then how to fix individual errors and collectively improve. He would learn more in an afternoon with Albrighton than he has all season with Marti and his team. Mav is just greedy and not a team player, he plays more like Ayew. They don’t look like team mate with a collective goal and system. Ricky might be a great guy and a role model from a professional point, he isn’t a leader, which we need more than a cool guy. There is no reason why Winks, Ricky, JJ and Fatawu couldn’t have a locked in tactic that would cut through most teams. We look like a team that has never trained with each other.

So he applies the same technique and application to scrolling as he does passing and tackling.

I don’t know who is available or have that answer. If needs must I would rather have Faes than JV. Both unlikable and shit but Faes seems to get all the blame and vitriol instead of sharing it equally with JV. Both will make mistakes in defence but remove JV and the tempo of the game changes completely. The ball will get forward in two passes instead on the QE2 being stranded afloat when he blasts it to Daka or Ayew to not control.

JV needs ****ing off with Faes and Winks. He is the cause for all that is wrong with what we are seeing. He stinks out the defence and kills any moment that our attacks could have. If that midfield gets the ball quickly and work as a team instead of countless step overs, they are good enough to beat most defences. I would put Daka upfront, tell him to only face their goal with Page behind. It doesn’t matter where you play Ayew, he’ll always drift into Mavs zone Ayew it. Lose the walking to the halfway line and blasting the ball to the forward to not control. Hopefully someone has asked Ricardo to stop doing his Luke Thomas impression.

Not to thread **** and add my daily hatred of JV. He has a big hand in most of the chaos on the pitch which makes this even more strange. I think he’s just as thick as the rest of them. Enzo made many of them efficient at certain tasks, not making them into good footballers when that discipline and order has been removed. Hamza should’ve went years ago. He has been brain dead under every manager, going back to the stupid back pass against Burnley. Because he is a local lad and a “minority” doesn’t mean he should get charity or a free pass for his actions and personality. If he was in a normal job he would’ve been out the door years ago. Footballs a strange industry where they can’t be put on a PIP and only removed once something disgusting can’t be covered up by lawyers anymore.

He has proven many times he isn’t the smartest, both on the pitch and off it.

It’s disgusting how brain dead every player is who touched the ball. Ricardo sending it backwards twice but it’s JV who causes all the chaos. Even under pressure in front of goal he can’t help but take too long then try and play his way out of danger he instigated. JV, Thomas, Mav and Winks all useless at the most basic thing. Ask them to shoot and they can mange to boot it into the car park. The obsession of overplaying backwards by this team and manager is insane.
