beggars belief just how bad that really was, we have not once threatened a chance let alone one on target. seems incredulous a team which sits in the top half of supposedly the best league in the world can play or to be precise not play like that.
Allardyce has mentioned that he’s told the players not to do this. The utter surrender monkeys just go into default fail mode as soon as they get on the pitch. They’ve got nothing about them and have failed numerous managers. They need binning.
It may be unpopular but Schneiderlin is the only one that IS passing forward. McCarthy is crap, Gueye can’t pass. I’ve counted three cross field forward balls that MS has played. 2 Kenny screwed up in great space. One with a handball and the other miscontrolled OOBMore crabs in our midfield than at the beach.
Gueye, Snides and McCarthy all have the passing radar of Tony Hibbert, backwards and sideways.
Sorry mate, but we've got no quality in that team.Disgraceful yet again. But it’s fine, because we have Sam Allardyce who has never had a team of this quality and money to spend so he will sort us out...... getting outplayed by yet another dire team. Funny how quickly things turn from everyone shouting to get behind him and that he will sort them out, to everyone being fed up of his rubbish football within a few games.
Who's the 4th ?4 defensive midfielders on the field, how we we even create anything
I can defend Allardyce for keeping things solid first and foremost. But he has options on the bench there that add pace and creativity.
Any two from Rooney, Bolasie, Vlasic and Niasse should be on at half time.
This really has been coming, we haven't played well under Allardyce going forward, and we have been lucky in a lot of the games: Mane and Matip missing sitters at 1-0, dodgy pen v Swansea, goalkeeping error for our goal v Newcastle and they missed a sitter (think it was Cisse), as well as hitting woodwork twice, we drew with Chelsea at home without having a single shot and we cleared two off the line, the WBA game a team who haven't won since August we didn't have a shot until 88th minute, and today, it's the exact same. Dire, dire stuff. Feel for the fans who have sacrificed a day and a load of money on this.
I don't want to sound too negative but I am really struggling to get enthusiastic about our future.
Mccarthy isn't a footballerWill wait until the end but that was poor.
Much better needed.
McCarthy blatantly isn’t fit. Still.
