Our players lack desire

i agree with your reasoning but would rather we dont try to become a new Chelsea, even if it means being a top-4-challenging club instead of a title-challenging club in the forseeable future.

There is beauty in being a nurturing club at the lower level of the foodchain. You don't always have to be or strive to be the apex predator.

Morning Daniel 😎

Firesale. Keep the players 25 and under. Bin the rest, Kane (obviously) and Bissouma (he hasn’t had a proper chance) aside. I honestly have no sentiment left for Son. Start again.

Our squad has been crying for another proper CB for ages. We needed a proper RWB last summer. Why we bought one only in the end of January? Our transfer policy is shit. We leave the glaring holes after each TW.

So... How's that painful rebuild coming along then, Daniel? You've been kicking the can for five years now, but it seems we've run out of road...

ESPECIALLY bin the defence, yes. Romero is the only one who’s first team quality (out of the CBs).

The players arent incredible but they arent as bad as people are making them out to be. They are professionals, they have to adhere to their bosses instructions. The formation, tactics, the approach, subs, the playing with fear has been a problem at the club since poch left and it doesnt suit the profile of the players that we have and buy.

The players should be ashamed today but so should Stellini and Mason.

We're one nil up against ten men. We have Sarr on the bench but of course he brings on fucking Sanchez. That alone is straight negligence.

It's like our managers are contractually bound to sub on Sanchez and Moura whenever possible and ignore our talented young players who've impressed whenever they've had a rare outing.

Just incompetence.

They've played the same shit under 4 managers now. At some point you have to realise the manager is not the problem. That hospital ball in the back four has gone through countless changes and still Sanchez, lloris and Dier are under hitting passes and making shit choices. Get rid of the clowns and sign a proper CB in the Terry mold.

The whole club lacks desire. This bunch of players isn’t good enough. All the desire in the world won’t sort that. It’s desire in the boardroom we need.
