Vesty was outpaced by the lino at one point...

What a shock 😳 

[YesNdidi]

I despise our ownership so much that I am almost completely apathetic to whatever the players produce on the pitch. Yep they’re shite Wow who knew. Get rid of the charlatans at the top and then maybe I’ll feel something again 

[coolhandfox]

System and personal we are playing keep the winger quiet and it's a easy afternoon.

 

Nothing thought the middle.

[woznotwos]

I'm off in the next room to shoot people online. 

[DZ-LCFC]

I'm sure if Ayew was close to the goal, he would put his a** and try to win ض foul

[J.Lisemore]

Put Daka on and hope he turns into a professional footballer

Christ just seen the goal - and some people said he wasn’t much of a downgrade on Mads 

Anyone who thought he wasn’t an huge downgrade was deluding themselves.

[Ric Flair]

Appears to be yet another regime that we'll be renowned for having a good chance in the 1st 5 mins and miss it, to then not create anything else all half and be slow and laboured. The manager will say we weren't quick and intense enough blah blah blah.

 

I don't know what the problem is in this football club but it's deep routed. These players do not look receptive to this new manager on today's showing, look entrenched in decline.

[Brooksy]

We could do with Nugent here.

[Lambert09]

We’ve seen it all before but it really feels like the effort isn’t being put in by a few too many players. 
 

there just comes a point where we should just play Paige, aluku, Alves or anyone else who actually wants to be here.

Fatawu is struggling against Mr Small who’s massive 😮

He needs to drop further back and give himself space behind Small when he knocks it past him.

We are crying out for a midfielder that can actually run though. No movement in midfield and no movement up front from Ayew. Less said about the full backs the better.

This is the only thing Soumare is good at if asked of him!

[Claudio Fannieri]

This is 100% on the players disgraceful performance complete lack of effort and work rate. No desire. Spineless bunch of willy pullers. Not sure there has ever been a more hateful group of senior pros and I have watched some right shit in my life time .

Thought Cifuentes was the deal although not keen on his appointment. Think I was a bit hasty. This is just pound shop Pep MkII well past its sell by date. 

you can not like this style if you don’t want but to suggest its anything like pep ball is laughable and shows lack of football knowledge much more direct

I HATE saying this... But at least Daka tries.

I’d honestly bring page, Monga AND Daka on. 

Things are bad.....

Zero shots on target 😕

Zero effort

Heard the goal was a cross/shot - was our keeper at fault?

Nothing he could do with the shot from where he was… because he was outside the penalty area and in front of the ball! 

[AKCJ]

These half time stats

 

2/14 dribbles.

0 shots on target.

0 clear-cut chances.

5 tackles.

1 interception.

I think we are vastly overestimating our squad.

I don't think we are, It's Cifuentes that is by asking the players to try Pep Ball.   

[Groby_Blue]

Even Nugent and Elliott look bored and pissed off in the studio

What baffles me is that it looked like the players were buying in in pre-season. So what the hell's happened? I can't see any of the patterns of play today.

[Philkeavo]

Cifuentes’ excuse is he hasn’t been here very long and hasn’t got a clue what his squad will look like after 1st September. Difficult to judge if he has what it takes, but it doesn’t look promising.

 

Today’s first half performance is the perfect metaphor for a club in freefall. Utterly depressing stuff.

I'm going charlton next week,might just stay in the pub and get drunk,don't think I could sit there and watch this team of t.ats get trounced.
