We're a really good team, everything is fine..

I get the disappointment, frustration and even a little anger, but not the mouthy style lashing out so I'll let time pass by before trying to be positive. We got thumped, with one of my least favourite players getting a hat trick, so being positive is not on my radar presently.

However, it is gone, it is done and we have to look to the next game - Leeds at home and do we stick with 352 or revert to 4231. Difficult choice. Are Leeds going to be as rampant as Chelsea? I doubt it, so it will be interesting to see how we approach it, but another bad performance next week where we look out of it completely does nor bear thinking about.

I like the idea of a 352, but that it was so ineffective today, even if it was against the champions elect, leads me to think we should be more adventurous. We need goals as well as stopping  them and we HAVE to find a way of giving the opposition more to think about.

I don't want a different manager, I want him and the players to get their acts together and react to this defeat and really go for it next week. If that means going back to 4231, the so be it.

Good post Lakey. I just don’t think Farke can cut it. As much as I want him to succeed and prove he can do it in the Prem I think the evidence is stacked up against him to suggest otherwise. If he had the money to compete with the way he wants to play I think he could make a fist of it but as it stands we need someone who can grind out results on a shoestring.

An example of how to win at understatements. 😂

 

 

Very true, although oddly 2 wins and we would be on the pack. Trouble is we haven’t done that for something like 20’games at this level

352, 4231, 424, 433, 541, 0010, frankly it doesn’t matter and will not change the reality that we have a manager, squad and owners who are out of their depth.

The midfield three  is largely the same whatever formation we play - and that is where we are getting steam rollered
