The whole thing from start to finish was awful today.
Horrible bench, horrible line up, horrible performance, horrible result.
Where do I begin?
Line up - What formation did we have today? What roles did our players have? No strategy, formation or tactics at all. So in keeping with the whole season. What do Osman, Gibson & Kone offer for us as a club going forward?
Bench - What is the point in Niasse if he isnt going to play in a dead rubber? Where on earth is Galloway? Why is Pienaar on the bench?
Again, why on earth we have Gibson, Kone, Osman, Pienaar, Howard on the bench when they will all be leaving within weeks?
Performance - symptomatic of the whole season and current malaise the club is in. No confidence, no tactics, no awareness, no leadership, no idea. The 'incredible' values we apparently show (from the boss not me I may add) are know where to be seen. Wheres the fight, desire, willingness to cover every blade of grass?! We cant hold onto a lead yet it seems we cant recover if we go a goal down either.
Result - Not even bothered. Were going know where under this manager long term. Except down. Show me another club that has dropped on average 8 places down the league in three years except Villa?
I appreciate we have Wembley next week but I must repeat that my belief is this manager needs removing as soon as possible.
The players need lifting, the fans need lifting, the whole club seems to be waiting for something to happen.
Get me a beer.
