Clean sheet
No injuries
Can you give me another one?
True, but if we were 1-0 down you would hope we would support the attack a lot more. You can't attack with fluidity and be compact at the back at the same time. No team does that. I think we have problems going forwards, I mean we tried to attack at Sheffield, but a bit like Everton today, we were unable to get past a very organised side.There is only so many times we will get away with that though. If the opposition score we are fucked, because we're astoundingly poor going forward. The football just needs to be so much better. I really believe that over the course of a season, defending like this will be nothing to shout about at all if we simply can't create any patterns of play.
True but I dread every game playing like how we are now, especially a NLD.
Everyone keeps going on about Ndombele, if Ndombele can't get into this team then something is wrong with him.

We're 17 points behind this point last season despite improvement in PPG under Mourinho compared to the period this season before he came in.

What did he say? Tbh it crossed my mind in the game that his body language didn't look normal. I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to leave.
All attacking players will be looking for a move. Would you enjoy playing like that. Alli, Son, Kane, they dont wanna play like that. They'll go, JM will spunk the money up the wall and be sacked by xmas.Hugo’s words in the post match interview isn’t exactly calming me that things aren’t going badly between the players. Talking about playing for the team not individual interests. I mean that doesn’t sound good. I wonder if Son is looking for a move?
He would have been too slow in the game tonight.
Unless we win by +3 goals, have CS, +60% possession and +10 shots on target our match will be badWe win a game and ppl are not happy.
Can't people realise that when a team in transition and rebuild will always look bereft of ideas and insipid.
Jose always focuses on the foundations first. And let's face it our defence needs drilling relentlessly. Everton barely had a sniff tonight, neither did United, neither did West Ham. When Jose tried to be clever with the attack we ended up getting hammered by Sheffield United of all teams.
We need to focus on defensive resolve for now. Address the problems in the structure and then focus on getting attackers to improve movement. We also need better runners.
Most of Jose's first seasons are like this. Mostly his second seasons are much better as he has had time to get the defence in shape and add better players to suit both that and the attack/ability with the ball.
We ain't rocking up and brushing teams aside with Sissoko Winks people
What did I miss? Why that sudden notion?Hugo’s words in the post match interview isn’t exactly calming me that things aren’t going badly between the players. Talking about playing for the team not individual interests. I mean that doesn’t sound good. I wonder if Son is looking for a move?
