If you can't see that our coaching is far below the standard needed you are deluded. Look at Leicester City today, they were god awful under Puel with a similar set of players, Brendan Rodgers comes in and they look very good. Our players look scared on the ball, too slow to pass and there is absolutely zero productive movement when we go forwards. This is down to coaching, not the players. Why was Zaha looking for a move?

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Worrying times......' by Midlands Eagle Agree, tactics today were wrong but unfortunately Roy doesn't know how to play any other way. Zaha isn't a CF and meyer is not a left winger. I thought kouyate would have started today, away at Sheffield United, not replacing awb was a huge mistake. Dann isn't good enough any more, Cahill must be ready to start. Roy seems to have a plan before the game, shluup will come on at this time etc. He cant react to the game. Surprised camarasa wasnt on the bench, we have 6 cms that are all very similar in how they play. We all new this at the start of the season. Meyer should play in the centre or not play at all,zaha should be on the wing. The defence are lacking options due to a poor transfer window and injuries, but Cahill cant be any worse. We have no goalscorer, or anyone at all busy up front,instead we have an unbalanced team full of Central midfield players, hasbeens, and injury prone ageing players.

Agree with your assessment Dolphin, was at the match and it was possibly the worst away performance I have witnessed from us in a long while, even the fans gave up, there was just nothing in our play to get excited about.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Worrying times......' by Midlands Eagle I agree with all that. Shlupp came on and stank the team up even more which I didn’t think possible. He also looked fat.Terrible all round.

There is not magic wand says Hodgson. No, but we may have expected a manager to be there! A team where the number of attacking ideas is a plain zero, cannot expect to score. Benteke could easily go 38 games without a goal - as could the whole team. In many aspects this is the worst game for 10 years, and nothing, absolutely nothing, indicated that this is going to change.

Look on the bright side. 8 goals in our last 4 league games. Of course, all of them in the 2 matches Benteke did not play a minute

Once word sums up that performance...Pathetic! Outfought and outplayed! They had so much desire and fight that we weren’t just losing out on the second ball but the third fourth and fifth! How many times did two of our players just look at each other whilst the Sheffield Utd player came in and took the ball? How many times did they press us and regain possession. We were abject and second best in every department. Wilf and Andros not even challenging for headers and Benteke and Wickham beaten hands down in the air. Devoid of ideas going forward and lacking creative play from midfield and trying to play out from the back was just painful. In PVA, Ward and Kelly we had the worst distribution I have seen from us in a long time. Both full backs were exposed badly both defensively and in giving the ball away or caught in possession time after time. I was at the game and I don’t think we even came close to scoring, not once did we get excited about an attempt on goal, it really was utterly pathetic and yes after just two games we should be very worried indeed

With Ward and PVA our line of wing defence we will be taken apart. PVA is getting worse by the game. He was certainly well outplayed today by a mediorce team. He is rubbish. Problem is we dont have another left back to replace him, unless someone knows more than me?
