Our defence is so bad. Its an absolute disgrace that we went from having best full backs and centre backs in the league and not having suitable replacements. Its like there was no future planning. Same with Dembele.

Apparently our worst record is Utd and when you think they are this weak we are the one team who will always fall to them the two shining lights I can think of were last year and our final match at the lane after that usual crap. I think it's a write off season and season where Mourinho is reviewing our playing staff then deciding it's wheat from the chaff time after tonight the candidates for the chaff stood out a penalty given away just after half-time a fine example. Hate this result tonight as getting one here would have showed a way forward instead we take to the forum feeling it's all too familiar

They wanted to beat ex-manager, we couldn't get equal motivational level and it showed clearly on pitch. Need just to put this one behind and concentrate on next one.

We were all optimistic and dismissed that factory.

There is nothing this season that suggests we will get top 4 we are a bang average side and have been for nearly 12 months.

Er, the two games before this one suggested it. Not strongly of course but dont lose sight of any optimism just cos we lost one. Surely we've had enough depression for one year....

Sissoko won't work in a midfield if Aurier is the right back. Sissoko spends 90% of his time out of position because he's filling the holes that Aurier leaves.

Get a proper right back in January and we'll be OK.
Our issue isn't now and never was the lack of quality of our FBs. We have fine FBs apart from Davies' injury. You can bring in nigh any FB that's obtainable and if that's all you do, you'll still have the same problems. CMs are supposed to cover. But if they spend their time out of position it's because they are the problem. We've needed new CMs for three years, all that time though what we have had has been adequate FBs.

every single time we start to build momentum and are expected to win the next game, we lose......always we lose. Wolves at home last season, burnley away last season , this game.

every time they make you believe, they then kick you in bollox......twice.....just to be sure

PS - is it written somewhere in GLC's contract that he can only play from the 85th minute onwards??

The issue I have is there are just large gaps between the front 4 and the back 4 with the 2 centre midfielders nowhere near the play

Our full backs are our biggest weakness.

City, Liverpool, Leicester and Chelsea all play with three in midfield as that is where a game is won and lost. We play with two and then Dele as a second striker which if we continue to play like that with the options we have in midfield we are going to lose the battle against the better teams.
