Asking Vesty to defend on the half way line and try to beat strikers/wingers in a foot race is just bad management. Wolves was forgivable because Ruud was so new, but after Palace, Fulham and now this, the worse result of the lot, there's no defending Ruud. Isolating Facundo, playing Ayew for 90mins, he hasn't got a clue.

Why is Ruud obsessed with playing Ayew. He stinks the team week after week, yet seems to be the 1st name on the team sheet.

Exactly. This is on Ruud, both Faes and Vesty were defending on the half way line for their 3rd goal. How can he be so stupid to employ those tactics.

What's the point, it takes us an hour to move the ball forward. No striker can do anything in this set up with its snail pace.

Yeah, probably lining up another Ryan Bennett type signing to stink up the place.

I think it was either Coady or Vardy who said he was tearing it up in pre season training. He just came back from Spain with a whole new positive mindset and now plays like he wants to dominate the midfield.

You can't argue with his contributions when he's played. Historically he's played more on the right then the left. I think if he plays at RW, with Bilal on the LW and Facundo at CAM, that will give us a better balance.

He had an astounding game. His workrate has gone through the roof, running around tackling and trying to win the ball back. Never thought he had it in him.

Dogshit subs as usual.

Need him off the pitch ASAP

Move Bobby to RW, Bilal to LW, bring on Facundo at CAM and Daka as striker.

Might as well play with 10 men.

Ruud's team talk tomorrow. 😄

I know I'm in the minority, but I think he deserves more mins this season. With Ndidi's long term injury we have conceded goals for fun. Our midfield during this period is like a revolving door, we need defensive stability there.

I'm backing Ruud on this. The majority of these players are c*nts, and should be put on notice. Top tried after the Cooper sacking, but everybody ignored him. Ruud has talked the talk, now he needs to walk the walk and make changes, stop picking the same shit players that keep stinking the place out.

Great move for him. Next season he'll most probably be playing in the PL, whilst we'll be in the Championship.

Spurs and Ange need a pick me up after their horrendous recent form. No doubt we'll oblige and get their season back on track.

I would say Winks was the one player that really seemed to dislike Cooper, lambasting him several times on the touchline. If anyone kicked a stink it would be him. Vardy is actually more suited to Coopers game and it showed with his g+a under him.

50M+ offer incoming for Mads.

This is so evident in both goals. Ruud has asked the full backs to tuck in and the wingers to help out on the outer channel. For both goals yesterday, when VK went tight to his man in the box, Fulham just put a diagonal cross into the space where Mavs should've been helping out. The defense gets the blame, but Mavs is as culpable. For both goals he's just wandering around in midfield doing nothing.

Him and Bilal were the only players showing some heart and desire. Granted he's not great defensively, but that can be said of the majority of our team.

Ruud doesn't seem to watch us and learn. Winks and Soumare doesn't work, we need a destroyer like Ndidi. Without him, only Hamza fits the bill. I know most regard him as a non player, but alot said the same thing about Ndidi, and now look at us without him. We need to try Bilal at LW instead of Mavs, with Facundo at CAM. Try different things to solve a problem. Pushing JJ up as a RW hasn't worked all season, yet both Cooper and Ruud insist on playing that way. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Didnt really want him but we looked better as a team, even though the results didnt improve. But today he was terrible, wrong team, wrong subs and I'm glad the fans let him know that, when he subbed off Bilal. I've got zero confidence he can keep us up.

Exactly, if a club run by Top and Rudkin can show the PL up, not once but twice, what can Man City do to them. I think the PL have finally admitted defeat and realised they can't sanction clubs based on current PSR rules.
