Not sure what to say about this game or the season so far.
Feelings and emotions switch from utter depression, frustration, disappointment, disgust, annoyance and the scariest bit is I'm worried. Really worried!
Worried where we could actually finish up this season, not seen anyone post this thought but we could, if this rot doesn't stop soon find ourselves in a relegation battle.
I know some of you will say this is a knee jerk reaction and yes yesterday I thought the same thing myself so didn't post anything. In fact I didn't come on the forum yesterday for that reason. I needed time to try to rationalise my thoughts but after a very restless nights sleep I'm still worried.
We are the same distance from the bottom as the top of the division, I see teams like Hull, Burnley, Stoke, Birmingham playing with more heart, passion and belief than we are showing and more worryingly they are playing better football than us. It's quite possible that come the New Year we could be in the bottom half.
Absolutely we need changes but the biggest change for me has to be the players attitude. Watching us throughout the season we are playing like a group of strangers. Passes into space are doing exactly that going into a space where a player should be but they aren't. Players on the ball are losing it as there is nobody free to pass it to and nobody is telling them "man on". We are running round like headless chickens and everybody is blaming everyone else, there seems to be no communication and nobody wants the ball so they can't be blamed for losing it.
Somebody mentioned bringing in a consultant to assess the team/players and this was quite rightly shot down by another poster, but surely somebody like Kenny should and could be be having a quiet word without it undermining Rafa. I know Rafa's stubburn but even he must be wondering what the hell's gone wrong and more importantly what the hell's he going to do about it.
I'm not being negative as such as I still believe we can get out of this mess but we have to start soon or it might be too late.
