    We haven't bought a quality forward since Richarlison

    And If we go down that's why. I can't think of anyone, Rondon? Bernard? King? Mcneil? Maupay? James is more of a playmaker and was only here one season. This club appears to think you only need one goalscorer at a time when you look at our rivals they have multiple.

    Players we must move on in the summer

    Keane Iwobi Gomes Not only are all three not up to the level consistently they all have weak mentalities. Delph Mina Gbamin All three injured far too often for a start. I would keep Coleman as a back up but he should not be starting. Who else?

    Our midfield

    Regardless of the manager and I hope he is finished after today our midfield is an issue. Yes we need to play three in there, but also we need another player with mobility, and an ability to distribute, ideally a DM who can sit. Gomes and Allan can't get around the pitch, Davies and Delph are...

    Bad starts

    In fifteen out of the last twenty games we have conceded first. A shocking stat that reflects that we are mostly starting games very badly. We have had to come back repeatedly, often we haven't been able come back because we go down by multiple goals. What is the issue? Players not being...

    The press

    I've noticed a trend, teams that press us high up at home have had success. It dates back to the Southampton game last season who pressed us relentlessly. Since then Leeds, West Ham, Leicester and Newcastle have all pressed us and had success. There seems to be an issue we have breaking the...

    Forward Options

    Let's be honest with Kean on loan, Tosun not fit and Richy suspended we are very light. DCL Gordon? Simms? Even with everyone fit we are still light Richy plays best off the left without him and having let Walcott and Kean go we have nobody else who runs in behind. What do you do until January...

    Pace, tempo and pressing

    I've noticed we lack these three things so far this season(I know its only three games but watching MOTD last night it struck me how turgid we are compared to others right now). Is It new players bedding in (I hope it will get better when Iwobi/Kean start)or new players not starting? Is it the...

    Changes

    We look stale and out of form also the system we play isn't working. What changes would you make to our team to improve our form? Burnley was one of our best recent performances, so I would go 343. Bring in Mina and Kenny and move Bernard into the ten, move Richarlison back to the left and put...

    Away record

    Our away record is a disgrace. Our mentality is all wrong. Our set up is wrong. We play with no left back. We have a team full of bottlers and a negative manager looking to secure draws rather than trying to win!

    First out the door?

    Martina, Williams and Schneiderlin. Not good enough and cowards under three managers. I never want to see them in the team again. Which of our players would you like to see gone first?

    Chopping and changing at the back

    I can't think of one successful team that chops and changes at the back so much, especially the two centre backs yet Sam and Ronald before him haven't stuck with a settled pair all season. Williams/Holgate were doing ok then he rotates and we lose, we beat Leicester with Jags and Keane he throws...

    Anger at Big Sam appointment looks beyond the real issue

    Whilst everyone is going insane at the Big Sam appointment and I agree its grim. Let's look at why we are in really this mess in the first place, one the utter incompetence of the board, two the utter incompetence of our director of football who created an massively imbalanced squad along with...

    Injuries

    Yes we've been very bad, application, organisation, mentality and confidence are all issues. But we've also got a big injury list. Nine players who would be involved, this hasn't helped in my view. http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php

    Gross incompetence

    The board have mishandled this badly. It has been clear since the few weeks into the start of the season, that we are in deep trouble.Dispensing with Koeman was the right call. But after a lucky lucky Watford win they should have hired a manager, this failure to do so for six long weeks, along...
