Let's see how things go. But if we turn out another dreadful performance against a bottom half team I think we have the right to really lay into Marco.
Our attack is so ponderous

I don't disagree, but the players need to give 2 S's.

[SimonDaviesEnjoyer]

This team is giving me Martin Jol vibes

Sun must be over the yard arm at casa de Moussa!

Side to side then backwards. Then one pass forward, side to side, overlapping run, bad cross.

Rinse and repeat.

The same patterns of play we have used all season vs low blocks. The same results.

[LittleErn]

We look tired and lacking energy. Raul isnt up to speed. Were getting sucked forward and leaving ourselves open to the long ball over the top. Its hard to see where a goal is coming from.

[Super Mick]

They're relegated no pressure on them,and our lot are on the beach.

Crap massively overpaid professionals if they are on the beach with a chance of still qualifying for Europe!

I agree, he doesn't get a pass.

I disagree.  I have no idea why we need to lay into anyone, let alone Marco, who has increasingly brought great football to the club over the past few years.

There are areas to improve for certain.  Somve of them are more apparent than others. But it isnt like we are in a relegation fight.

[Drewry66]

Where's that press of last week first half and against Liverpool?!?! Why do we only do it against the top teams?? Have to win this early and high before they get in their shape. Same every time against low block teams.

[Texas White]

Why are we so slow..

[SP]

Is Ross Stewart the guy who did his Achilles playing for Sunderland at the Cottage?

[Moussa Dembele the 3rd]

If we're going to play like this we need to be way better at set pieces.

[ron]

We're getting ripped to bits here.

I disagree. He can't be completely immune to criticism.
If this had happened once or twice that's ok. But the fact is this has happened every single game this season against a low block. And at no times have we seen anything different from the team to try and rectify our problem. That comes from the coach and as such I think criticism is justified

[LittleErn]

Frustration showing - including mine!

[akf]

I like that 20y old Portuguese kid who just shook off Bassey

[akf]

Andy Gray just predicted that the next time Wilian gets a chance to shoot with his right, they will be 'made to pay'

[LittleErn]

No target man in the box. It shows how much Muniz has improved that we need his presence.

[FFC1987]

Really is slow, turgid rubbish this.

[Deeping_white]

If we don't win this the entire matchday squad deserve to be fined a weeks wages. This is the second worst team in the history of the PL + were relegated weeks ago, and we're supposedly aiming for Europe

[LittleErn]

They can give us freekicks with no worries that we might convert one.
