Distribution at the back just isn't the same without Silva.

Yep...not going anywhere at this rate, being bullied and harassed all over the park; Jorghino is having a mare so far.

Jorginho being brushed aside several times, not good to see.

Why do we look so poor? Jorginho's been horrendous and now that Silva is not there we look way off

Jorginho sucks in high intesity games. This is why he looked so good in Serie A, because it's very rare to have these types of games in Italy.

We always look so ordinary when teams step up on us. We can't deal with it, and we haven't been able to deal with it for years now. This team is too soft.

Certainly since this bullsh*t nonsense of playing out from the back became the norm; we've never really mastered it with the players we've had  in recent years.

Painful to watch so far. 

Sheff utd beat Man Utd and City only beat them 1-0. We got a tough game on our hands tonight. Could be a banana skin.

Jorginho has had a mare so far.

After a very good performance last game, normal service has well and truly been resumed for Jorginho.

Agreed. But we cannot be surprised that we are facing this style today. Its not as though the coaching staff have no chances to watch Sheffield United games, and they are fighting for every point right now.

Sure bit 'Pool in the arse today

Should have started Gilmour. He's much more suited to dealing with the press than Jorginho is. 

This is a game for Pulisic, need someone who can beat a man

Jorginho wtf is going on, hes getting worse and worse

The f**k was Jorginho doing on the edge of our box then, stop pointing and actually try and f**king tackle.

We haven't lost with him in the starting lineup for 15+ games, Italy as well for that matter... Not sure how it turns out according to you though 

Jorginho was only wheeled out by Frank for the easier games, your boy is nothing more than a stat padder

I don't know if he picked up a knock? But he hasn't exactly been lighting up games in recent weeks.

Don't know about you but we are struggling a bit. 

How more many times does Dave and James need to float the ball in from the right when just inside the Sheffield half, when Werner and Giroud and running behind the defence...they've constantly ignored the opportunities and instead played it sideways or backwards....

Always concerned when Giroud plays we fall into this slow pattern. 
Credit to Sheffield and their work rate. 
We must start testing keepers. Will anyone shoot 

Has Ollie touched the ball yet?

And Frank lost without him all the "hard games" and thus lost his job as well. That's for trying to reinvent the wheel...

We might have changed manager and shuffled the selections and formations, but the end result is still the most utterly boring football imaginable. Why such an aversion to attacking and entertaining football?

At least it makes being trapped in the house for a year feel like relative fun.

Since I've been watching Tuchel's teams in Germany I like the fact his teams always seem to be able to switch between 3-5-2, 4-4-2 and 4-3-3... combined with the fact he seems to make young players better; I do rate him a highly. 

But! Tuchel seems to be going with this 3-5-2 (5-3-2 basically) as his preferred system. That makes me a bit nervous. If he insists on playing Jorginho and Kovacic, where do we put Ziyech, Pulicic, Mount and Havertz? That's almost all the creativity we have. If he plays CHO as a wing back, there's no place for Reece. Kante and Tammy will probably get there minutes in this system, but it feels like a waste of a lot of talent. 

What do you guys think?! 

Carbon copy of the 0-3 capitulation last season. Pathetic so far.
