I don't know what it is, are we unfit, not trying?  We just never look 'at it'

Is anyone in that 11 actually good enough?

I can't quite put my finger on what is wrong but I can't escape the conclusion that we are ropey as fuck.

We have a disgusting shower of gutless f*cks out there

granted, picking Clark at RCB when we have two RCB's available in Okore and Crespo was mind numbingly ridiculous

Even that substitution, take off a midfielder 1-0 down in the first half and bring on another forward on the wing was straight out of the Tim Sherwood play book

But, look at that team - Bacuna, Sinclair, Gabby, Lescott, Richardson - all stealing a living at our club

Guzan - awful Spurs fans laughing at how bad he is, Grealish - time to grow a pair, English international , Clark out of position or not looks a pub player

Gary Neville, going to town on Gabby Agbonlahor - 8 touches in half and two touches were restarts, Lampard laughing at us in the studio

To be fair, it made me chuckle. That's how bad we've become. Laughing stock

It's like that bit in Moneyball where the old fashioned coach keeps playing all the wrong players before the guys with the new way of doing things step in to sort it out. We'll win the next 19 games now.

That's how moneyball works, right?

They all lolled when Neville said that on Sky Sports.

I must admit I did as well.

These players have (hutton aside) actually gone backwards this season. I have never seen it happen collectively like this before. I wouldn't have believed it COULD happen to so many at the same time if I hadn't seen it.

This is down to KMac. Didn't even give us a fucking chance with that starting 11.

The trouble is it's a multitude of things: a poor squad, individual mistakes, plus a terrible team selection, plus a losing mentality.  So kmac didn't help, but I don't agree that "this is down to kmac"

It's his job to try and win the game. He has twice failed to do that. So it is down to KMac. Every single one of us called it as soon as the team was announced.
