Seems to be suggesting he, and by extension probably Mavididi (+ any other conspicuous absentees), doesn’t give it everything in training? So work rate is his primary barometer for judging players?

Both goals have come against the run of play and have been our only real chances. Not something you can see has been created out of our style of play or a clear tactical advantage, just individual quality, bad defending and Johnny on the spot type stuff. Like I say hopefully we start to see an identity form, but today was worryingly passive. To give him some credit there has been an improvement on set pieces so far and our heads haven't dropped quite as easily as they would have under Rodgers.

Very confusing lack of tactics and refusal to start our best players (Mavididi & Pereira in particular). Two goals & 1 point out of nothing so far. Hope we start to see some sort of identity creeping in, but being so far behind such a basic team today was sickening... 🙏

It's breaking my heart to see us so passive and submissive against the quintessential 'filler' team that is Fulham.

I see, we've bought him for his set pieces...

Aside from being twice the player what does Pereira have to do, and how bad does Justin have to play, to get Pereira a chance?

Behave. No one is that much of a muchness. Ayew works hard, gains us yards and free kicks and could be a useful squad player. **** we're losing...

That's a strong moustache.

Can't help but think Ayew is destined to end up a cult hero...

That's the only thing I can think of. He definitely doesn't work as hard defensively as Fatawu and at times it was noticeable that he didn't offer a lot going backwards. 🤷‍♂️

Clearly Cooper is trying to make what he thinks is an intelligent point about Mavididi not tracking back and working as hard defensively as we need in this league, but it could cost us a winnable game today if he persists.

He might come good as a squad player at some point, but right now BD Reid needs to take a step back and f*** himself. Mavididi please.

Car crash Faes strikes again! 🤦‍♂️

Where did that Faes header come from? We've looked leagues below against the poster child for mediocrity so far, but have kept on punching, so can't grumble too much given our new low standards...

Has he really decided our two best players, bar Vardy (Mavididi & Pereira), are not starters? Literally the only two of our players I had in my dream team. ****ed that right up. 🤦‍♂️

Workmanlike pro, which is more than most we've had in recent years...

If we can still recoup at least half of it for Soumare then it will look like good business to be fair. Happy enough for Hamza & Braybrooke to fight for 2nd backup spot with Winks, Ndidi & Skipp playing the majority.

So he's backup for Winks & Ndidi. Even so you'd think he would contribute something going forward for that money. Seems a lot for a squad player, but whatever. As long as we still get the attacking midfielder & striker we have a much more pressing need for and somehow don't fall foul of FFP paying these prices then I'm not mad at it...

21 matches, 0 goals, 0 assists = 25M. OK...

Could and should have been much worse, but I'll take a miracle and a classic Spursy 2nd half performance. Jamie Vardy has got us out of jail so many times 🐐 🙏

Get out of jail free Vards! 🙏

Imagine leaving the gaps we have without actually attacking. Wild.

Those stats if we were at Spurs would still be unforgivable.

No outlet on the left wing - Mavididi on the bench. Son constantly left on his own with acres on the left wing - Pereira on the bench. Omnishambles.
