Pathetic shithouse tactics by koeman

Matching a teams formation when their players are better than ours everywhere

 

[Gladystweet]

I know Chelsea are good, but there's no excuse to concede 3 in a half when playing 5 at the back. Pathetic and just confirms what we knew about our squad really.

Id just settle for a bit of pride and effort at the moment.

 

[zzebra]

Could he do any worse?

 

[Khalekan]

This is just embarrassing.

 

[Abraders]

As far as I'm concerned Chelsea have come together at the right time and will be challenging for the title. The class between our players and theirs is huge, which is why they paid the money they did. Scintillating football, you have to just hold up your hands and admit it sometimes.

They are playing well, but we are playing literally abysmally. any other team in the league could've at least made a chance in the first half...

Plus it's November and there's no window for two months.

We've been crap and been punished. Very little to do with 'an ageing side'.

has a lot to do with age, players well past there best, and lack of pace at the back

 

[BigBlueConk]

Reckon we'll do these

Hope so!

 

[lancs blue]

sketlenburg, jags and cleverley punch each others lights out, get sent off job done. fwel sorry for fans travelling for such a lacklustre display

 

[Tin-Tin]

Liverpool have better players than us

You mean they have a better workrate??

 

[lungo]

Apparently, according to some, there are only certain premier league professional footballers that can press. We happen to have the 10 that cant! We are amezing at pretending to do it, that little 3 yard jog towards the opposition works great.

Do you see Barry and Barkley press. Or Lukaku and Cleverley?

 

[BlueToff]

He's not the answer. He never was. Having a good game doesn't excuse 2 diabolical ones. He's average. We need a top keeper. His signing spoke volumes of the club's ambition.

We should have got a keeper in, but we didn't.

Sh1t happens.

I'm more concerned about the players we have currently not putting in a performance worthy of the shirt tbh.

 

[sheedy3]

Gutless&shameful the lot...watching here in pub with lots of RS&taking a verbal hiding :-(

 

[ianefc]

Better team, with better players, in better form are winning. Shock. There is a reason you could get 6/1 on Everton winning this.

Crap performance

Yeah we need to replace Steklenburg, should be looking in January but i'm sure we will wait for summer

 

[jackyboy]

Good old Phil Jagielka.....
