That’s the spirit! whiskey I’m guessing.

You couldn’t make this up.

This is really poor. The players have to share a bit of blame as it’s been lacklustre but we know they are better than this and cooper is just not working. The players look inhibited and no clear system or structure that is effective.

Shocking isn’t it.

Bdcr what was that !

Goodnight is quality but we knew that already. Likewise fatawu and Riccardo. Well cooper doesn’t seem to know that. I’d have liked him to give vesty a run out too. That all being said the players are putting the effort in and hopefully cooper learns a bit or catches up at least.

That makes sense. More communication would be helpful. Can’t see that keeping that quiet would be beneficial.

The concerning thing for me is that I have actually been quite impressed with the effort and attitude shown by the majority of the players. But if we continue to underperform largely due in my view to odd team selections and tactics that confidence and willingness will drop. If and when that happens then all hope for the season will be gone. Surely he has studied videos of players in the last few seasons. What works and what hasn’t. Keeping some talented players on the sidelines reminds me of the worst aspects of Roger’s. The board need to thrash it out with Cooper tomorrow as to what is going on and what is he thinking. I don’t think we are that far off making it work but issues need to be addressed now. Come on Steve sort it out.

Honestly I’ve been trying so hard to give him the benefit of the doubt. I’m losing the will now.

Here here. I’ve been trying to like him and his ideas but I’m kidding myself.

Faes doing a decent impression of Thomas Daley there.

Agreed. Let’s get Abdul and Riccardo on the right and balance that out. Ayew doesn’t look up for this fight.

Feck

Abdul’s pressing and defensive tracking would be useful here. Ayew has done as well as I’d hoped but he isn’t Abdul in this respect.

Darren England. wtf.

How many times has this happened when we try to shut up shop and just invite the opposition on to us. Brain dead tackle didn’t help but he shouldn’t have been on the pitch.

Mavidid gives us so much more down the left. A good solid half away from home. Same again second half.

I think the palace and Everton games are our best hope for wins. If we can do that it would be massive for our season. Maybe a draw at Bournemouth as they are no longer a banker three points. If we could beat them that would be brilliant. Arsenal - I think we can do better than people think. Keep the losing margin below three.

Precisely and therein lies the problem.

I’m not sure that would aid the cause. 😀

Mcateer started well. Put in a great cross from the left and kicked Harry Kane.

He does sound a lot like Nacho and from the limited amount of times I have seen him he does have some similar traits. He definitely knows how to tuck them away like Kel could. I don’t think either are lazy he is just has that calm demeanour and stance. In fact I would say it helps to be calm when you are trying to do the most difficult thing on the pitch that is score goals. I hope he does very well and has a good time here. I don’t think Vardy has been that bad so far. . It’s still early season and there is a bit of rust there in his touch and link up play. . He still give it everything and makes good runs. Oh and he is good in the air.

That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking. The clubs transfer behaviour before the end of the accounting period suggest they were aware of how close these figures were before the end of the accounting period. However it just worries me that they had the wrong target figure.

I’m not sure I would. Ederson Allison and Martinez are getting on a bit and vicario and raya are no better. We do need to have a succession plan in place though as the vultures will be circling in January I suspect.

I think we all agree one has to be dropped. We need more creativity and to play people in their best positions.
