The worst performance this season by a long way. Utterly clueless in front of goal. Redmond is simply not good enough at this level, time to bin him. Defence, normally our saving grace, was piss poor today. Hate to say it but Fonte, and VVDs head’s are not with us any more. When and where they go is a matter of when, not if. Personally i fancy both will be gone in January. Then what? Charlie Austin is reputably our highest paid player by some margin, money for old rope on todays performance. If the ball somehow lands at his feet a yard in front of goal he will bundle it in, but that is about the extent of his ability as a striker. Creates nothing, far too slow, easy pickings for any half competent defender. Puel’s rotation system is all very well, but it won’t work if he keeps leaving out our most effective players, ie, Long, Davis, even McQueen. Personally i think he struggles to have any kind of plan B. Today, on the touchline, he came across as totally out of his depth when the shit started to hit the fan. Fucking awful performance.
Honestly I wouldn’t read into this result that much. A freak of a goal which clearly shook us and caused the second. At 2-0 down away we were buggered.
Sadly, if you’re playing in defence and your goalkeeper makes a gaffe like that its just simple human instict to feel like “Fuck this shit. What is the point of literally everything we do if our goalie is liable to do that?” Still, I didn’t feel like there was a marked lack of effort from the defence. Today was just one of those days.
at least we’re not west ham (shit and conceded 5) man city (lost at home and had two sent off) or Preston (two of their own players sent off for fighting each other)
happy because of aguero capt on the fantasy football while I have Sanchez capt.
Blimey, the Preston manager is not a happy camper. Those chaps are kissing goodbye to at least two weeks wages.
