This is boring. Awful slow football

Turgid.. We haven't got any ideas at all, no urgency, the players seem fed up.

No chemistry between anyone.

I cannot work out how Gusto seems to get a role in this side, when he has absolutely no positive aspects about his game at all.

God all f**king mighty this is utter sh*te, everything is done so slowly, every break forward stops and goes back....Just f**k off....

About time a dialogue was started regards Pedro Neto continuing to get minutes let alone starts.

I started this dialogue 12 months ago and was called a mad man.

If we played with wide, overlapping full backs, I’d have him as back up to James. Starting as an inverted defender than ends up in no.8 and no.10 position - not ideal!

In this type of system, he is abysmal.

Other than run around a lot and have some Operation Yewtree facial hair. What does he actually do?

Different opposition, same problem against a deep organized defence. Miss players like Palmer and Estevao today.

why is Estavao on the bench ??? Hate this bald twat his team selection and his tactics

Why does this utter cretin of a manager persist with this dumb idea of Gusto as some sort of box-crashing #10 LOL. He just gets in the way of all the places you want Joao Pedro to be LOL

Need more sideways passing here, that's what we are missing.

How are we dominating yet still so boring to watch....

His hair when he runs goes swish, swish, swish
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish

His hair when he runs goes swish, swish, swish All day long

All infront of wolves defence. Granted they are deep, but never in behind.

I declare a winner

🏆 There are so many people who have helped me achieve this award. I'd like to thank my mum and dad, Enzo Maresca for his ineptitude, The Shed End forum .......I love you all ,😥😥😢

Kisses his mum for far too long on the lips. I’ll let you do your research on that one.

It's been almost a season and a half and Maresca still hasn't improved a single player here. Almost everyone has downgraded or stayed the same level.

There’s no one up front who can create abit of magic against the low block. All very functional.

We are the only club in the league that can throw this many players forward and do nothing.

Fault in the system and way we move the ball.

We have Neto out wide and Gusto in the half space next to him. Two complete pussies, it's the footballing equivalent of Trinny and Susannah completely wiping out the right side of the pitch for us. It's why Garnacho has looked good, cos there is fck all on the other side.

The entire right hand side is sh*te.

I could be watching a dreadful Hallmark Christmas tv-film and I would be more entertained.

Neto and Gusto or

Estevao and James

I mean why pick Estevao and Reece James when you can put Neto and Gusto out there LOL

Maresca just cannot play against a low block can he…it’s the same every time the bus is parked.
