What do you expect? This season was a carousel of stupid decisions. 

Aubameyang, Sterling and Kovacic on the pitch just does not make any sense. Why is Badiashile frozen on the bench all of a sudden? 

There are players on the pitch every single week that won't probably get a sniff under Pochettino or won't even be at the club next season. Why the hell does Lampard still bring them in each and every week? There is no logic behind these stupid decisions.

I am not worried about next season because I know we will come good. I am more worried how the hell do we get rid of Sterling? What an incredible joke of a so called footballer. 

I am sorry for Lampard but the truth is he is a Championship manager at best. He sets his team for the counter, but instead of a pacey front three of Mudryk, Joao Felix and Madueke, he opts for Sterling and Aubameyang, players that are a sad excuse of a footballer.

I wish I shared your optimism

Its simple. Look at the pressing, the desire to shut down. Look at Sterling. Look at Madueke and Azpilecueta "shutting down" for the second. So much space for Arsenal. 

And i am not having a go at the players for not bothering but i am disgusted with their inability to keep themselves fit enough to compete.

I have said it for a long time now players start to deteriorate when they join us. I am not selecting him for criticism at all, but does Enzo really look like a £100m footballer now he has been here a while.

The players are monitored to the heavens to keep them in primary condition. Even Tuchel moaned about our fitness both mentally and physically.

Earlier in the season it was obvious that after 60 mins they were gone. f**king ridiculous and it doesn't help that our attitude stinks

Im actually intrigued to see how long we can keep our losing streak up. Tonight will make it 6 in a row. Potentially we can lose 11 in a row up till the end of the season. With this team and management weve got every chance of achieving that. 

And with Wrexham this summer, it's only going to get worse.

Leicester rinsed us with Fofana 

He'll be fine under Pochettino and was playing very well under Potter aswell.

You seem to have a healthy level of   introspection that’s sorely missing among so many fans.
 

To any fans upset about the media seeing us as a laughing stock. Really? It’s just the reality. If anything the media are being quite charitable. Imagine Arsenal, Liverpool, United or City in our position? We’d be lapping it up. 
 

You’re absolutely right that the ability of players isn’t the issue but fitness. Where I slightly disagree is your point about self respect. Not that it isn’t clearly lacking / an issue. But when the whole structure is so rotten, it affects everything. It’s a spiral that it’s hard not to get caught up in. They’re only footballers. No different to us other humans except for being good at kicking a ball around. Not like there are other footballers who would do any better if thrown into this broken structure. 

Yes and No. There are guys on this forum I bet, that play football to varying levels of quality. Those that do play to a reasonable standard will still have that inner desire to keep fit, shuttle runs, gym work.  When step 3 and 4 footballers are strapping weighted rucksacks to their backs and pounding the pavements in the rain to keep fit, the least these clowns can do is run like fck for the few hours when they are at the hotel like surroundings at Cobham

Well their top of the national league, so that will be a challenging match for us. I can see their players causing us all sorts of problems. 

f**k me, they are taking the piss. I think we have reached rock bottom. Come on Frank, lets salvage SOME pride - use some more subs FFS (but NOT Ziyech obviously!)
