Embarrassed and disgusted by that performance, half the time we looked like we had no F***ing plan and happy to defend for a draw, when we actually attacked them for all of 5 minutes we did actually cause them problems, so why not F***ing start like that, again though the manager's perseverance with this system is starting to do my head in, so many players out of position, no real support for Benteke, who despite some, I think is a good player, yeah maybe hasn't got the pace, but if you play players properly off him, he can be a very good striker. We just don't do that!
Our first proper test, we looked half good against Arsenal, then we sat back into the old routine and settled for a draw. Today was the second test and we failed miserably (obviously Coutinho missing is a big loss, as imo he's the only creative player we've got at the moment).
This might not go down well but at the moment I think Can is a headless chicken, might be down to the way the manager is playing him, but looked nowhere near ready for a midfield place and tbh thank god we've still got Lucas, otherwise I'd generally fear for our midfield.
The last two performances are like a left over from last season and I wanted him gone then, I'm sorry I don't see us heading into any direction with him and his tactics leave a lot to be desired. Down to Gordon and Ayre to see of they are happy with what they are F***ing watching, cos I'm not. It's on the level with some of Hodgson's worst and it can't be tolerated for much longer.
