This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

I wasn't there today so watched a feed.
Think I am very worried now. We are too one dimensional in our approach and just cannot break teams down when they sit back.
It is nothing new and we have been guilty of it for a long time but never seem to learn our lessons.
Our defence to me is fine albeit that PVA and Wan weren't passing too well today.
Luka is solid but not having his best run of form and Wilf is Wilf.
After that we have either sub standard players for this level of football or they are not being directed properly.
Jmac is fine but he only does limited stuff - he is never going to change a game.
Townsend is dreadful in my opinion. He can't do what his job description says and he can't tackle, run back and help or head the ball - he is a complete waste of a shirt nowadays.
Schlupp is not much better. Ayew should be back at Swansea.
Benteke we all know about - a £30m striker who can't score.
Sorloth is barely good enough for league one.
Kouyate - I can't comment as I haven't seen enough of him.
We have been in the prem for a lot of years now but we don't improve.
Nothing changes - we just go from one disaster to another.
Other teams have a style, a way to play and they get better - we don't.
Why - No idea but we have a massive problem and I don't see a way out.

Which means we are the 3rd lowest goalscorers in the league. Really don't need Sherlock Holmes to see where the problem lies. Let's hope we can fix it fairly soon.

We have horses for courses situation. We were unable to change our tactics to adapt to our opposition style of play.

Normally the only saving grace is a couple of beers before and half time. Today the beer was warm which considering it was f***ing freezing in the upper took some doing. A forgettable day all round.

we spend nearly every penny that comes into the club via the PL gravy train on wages.

like i said it would be lovely to have a billonaire ready to throw his money around but we dont have that so we are where we are.

unless you have no grasp on reality & have unrealistic expectations surely you have to applaud what parish has done since being in charge not slag him off every time we lose.
