Just looking at the second goal, Santos showed absolutely no intent to get back and track the runner. If he wants to make it at the top level he’ll have to improve his intensity.

Down hill second half

Been going downhill since 2022

Not sure how this changes moving forward.

I had some hope in the project when we were signing Enzo and Caicedo, 2 players that we actually had to compete for their signitutres with other big clubs.

Now we have stopped going after that level of player. Most of players we target are extremely raw, less than 50 appearamces in a top league, and the managers we have been hiring have absolutely no pedigree or cv.

Cant see how this changes at all. Think the squad was healthier at the start of the 25/26 season. We dont pay big wages, why would any top players come here now.

I think a lot lot longer than that tbh. This is generational. This could be 20 years in the wilderness a la Liverpool.

It feels like we're about to do a Nottingham Forest

Very lazy, then surprised when then score.

This is across the board. They all look the same. Not one defender knows where or when to press a d the midfield are just lost.

This is coaching.

Feeling bit sorry for Liam, money aside. It is really the fault of the people above...

He'll be OK when he gets his payoff

This is lazy, the least you can expect of a professional player is to run.

Lets see if they have the cheek to huddle

Awwww diddums, no huddle?

We will also likely lose these more established name signings very soon once they realise we've become a farm club.

Josh getting the chance he should have had at the start

I don't think that we can really blame the players. Been saying this for years now. This squad are the least fittest around. Statistically been proven previously we cover the least yardage. This is a fundamental principle of the coaching methodology here.

We are so one dimensional in all we do, it is fking infantile. Reece James gets injured and the corners fall to sh*t because the useless pr!ck of a set piece coach has only got one corner in his locker.

It's so basic, it's so half arsed, its so arrogant and lacking in self awareness, just so American ownership

It hurts to know we went from being debt free to selling hotels, the womens team, and Transfer sanctions to get to this point.

Pretty sure most arm chair fans could have done a better job.

Threw Sarr in completely cold, out of position.

Has a bad half, and he’s taken off.

Nasty work from Rosenior.

Like Fofana losing Gordon at the weekend.

To put on Acheampong who offers nothing particularly extra. If Sarr isn't injured it seems a pointless change

I missed the first but WTF was Liam thinking going with a back 3.

I think you still can. Santos effort was same as Fofana's against Newcastle. Thats unacceptable regardless of what else is going on.

Can anyone else hear the whistle that’s constantly going? Is that the PSG fans?

Almost a Trumpian approach to managing a football club. Half arsed + no plan + no strategy = failure

“I’m on the payroll.”

Yes. Someone needs to ram that f**king whistle down his throat

You can accept being beaten by the better team, that’s fair enough they are a superb team, what you can’t accept is just how far off we are competing with all the money that’s been spent it’s utterly embarrassing. We are absolutely terrible.

Sorry, what I meant was that for these, that is their effort. They aren't fit enough to make up those yards
