Is anyone else worried

[kiss the crest]

I will say it again, is anyone else worried we did not replace Lukaku, even though Koeman and Walsh knew he was leaving in March?

That question is to the non bed wetters

As Liverpool have shown by keeping coutiniho (who will soon begin playing again), we didn't have to bend over obligingly for man u/lukaku when they asked us to, since he had 2 yrs left on contract (and selling him for less next year small price to pay to actually having shots on target which we haven't much of at the moment) . But we did sell him to Man U pre season so they could integrate in to their team in time.

So we may be playing far worse than last season. But at least we made man u and lukaku happy. That's well charitable.

And who ever sis in charge for the overall transfers should be fired. It was a shambles, selling our striker and buying 3 number a 10s.

(and I haven't wet the bed, just leaked a little dribble)

I do worry about where the goals will come from, and if we can't score, we'll get murdered in the Premier League.

 

[faddy the blue]

4 games, just 2 goals and I am sure we have the least shots on target this season so far.

I don't buy these excuses that we are so crap cos we signed 9 players and they need time. By that logic should we just roll over in every match and not even show a modicum of fight vs the top 6 who we want to compete against?

I am worried because where are the goals coming from. Our forward options honestly must be one of the worst in the prem. No pace at all, not willing to play any width. Playing players who are utter garbage like Williams and Martina. Utter disgrace that performance today. It is a little worrying.

 

[applecrumble]

Very worrying we have bought a load of players we don't need, we have a lot of player unrest because of the way Koeman handles players and we have no quality striker. Not looking good. This clown could have set us back worse than Martinez.

Other teams such as Watford and to a certain extent Huddersfield, have restructured and look to have energy and movement. We look flat, static and predictable.

Koeman waxing lyrically about Rooney last year when he looked utterly goosed whenever I saw him at United was a bit of a worry. Add in the likes of Klaassen who did not impress me at Ajax and has yet to here either. The lack of defensive pace and organisation...


He could find himself on borrowed time very quickly. He is not worth 6m a year that's for certain.

 

[Highland toffee]

I'm worried,cuco Martina is a liability. Williams isint much better.
Midfield is ordinary at best, and up front is toothless.
5 weeks ago I was buzzing now I'm thinking we will do wel to finish above west brom.
Koeman makes some seriously odd tactical decisions, and he is subbing his signings by half time.
By god I'm worried!

4 games but 3 of them against the top 3 from last season. Hardly surprising we haven't scored many.

 

[beachy]

Long hard season ahead.

There are some obvious fixes that could get us top 10, but I've seen enough football to learn most managers are stubborn.

If the plan was to play 3 number tens in Rooney/Klaassen/Sig then he'll probably stick to it.

Plus they are his signings and big(ish) names.

Mate all pre season we haven't looked like scoring, we are not even creating chances

 

[People75]

Hard game today, against top 3 contender Spurs.

Next match, will be equal hard.

Thereafter, if we keep loosing, to the midtable teams, i will be worried, but i am not worried at the moment.

Some of the preseason games we looked alright, scored some good goals. Since the season started (first home game in the Europa) we haven't looked like a productive side but it's too early to tell and we have not been helped by the fixture list.

I'm fuming about the result and we should be doing better, however we have to bear in mind who we have had to play so far.

 

[KaiserEFC]

It's the tactics that are wrong.

 

[hktoffee]

A couple of viewpoints.

Pickford; He is trying too hard to make these holloywood pass, sometimes. Just hack it long instead of putting the team in dangerious position. Avoid to use the weak foot please.
Martina; Today's awful defensive display means he is straight to the reserve. He can't defend.
Williams; Rather play Jags.
Baines; He is not a captain material. He did not shout and gave the team a lift when the team was going through a rough patch.
Sigurdsson; Rooney; Klaassen...one of them should play in the playmaker role not 3 of them at the sametime. Our play was static.
Sandro; Ar just hope he and Klaasen will get used to the PL soon...
Davies; He is really poor this season.
