Imagine thinking that wasn't mostly on the players. Looked poor against Hull ffs they've learnt nothing. Koeman was sold false promises, we are actually lucky to have him. If he isn't backed he'll walk

Lucky to have him! The squads brimming with talent and we can barely pass a ball. Sit deep and long ball up to rom,we've gone back to mid 90s tactics.

Not playing to anyone's strengths at all. Huge gaps between the front 3 and where the ball actually is. We could go out and buy a playmarker as everyone keeps saying, but if you whallop the ball over his head it's pointless.

Ultimately no matter how pathetic we were (and boy are we pathetic), the kid misses an absolute sitter which should win us the points. Absolutely unacceptable at this level.

Jags and Barry inhibit our play no end these days. Cannot describe how infuriating it is to watch us these days.

hull boss says terrific point for them,says it all for me

This side is the absolute pits! Talk about an impossible job for Koeman, turning piss into wine would be easier then making these useless wasters a decent side.

Just equalised to 2-2 away at Hull, immediate substitution, bring on a centre half for an attacking midfielder/winger. Desire to win the game, zero! Says a lot about our manager! Settling for a draw tonight is NOT good enough.

So wrong .... 3 at the back gave us more attacking width and should be seen as a positive step !

The most frustrating thing about tonight was the team selection. The Leicester game literally wrote out in clear letters what are best team is and who are best players.

And lo and behold we see Jags and Barry straight back into the team. Davies needs to start and we need to play Williams and Mori. Mirallas seems to be playing well too.

Totally agree. Saddens me that's all we've got to work with. My god we need a big January.

Could RK persuade VVD from Soton? Maybe Williams can have a word with Gylfi? Hopefully there are some diamonds who want to come AND play.

Or if no one moves for him to pass too.

Not sure how you work that out. Davies was fouled outside the area I think. The free kick for their 2nd goal was really soft - player threw himself to the floor after Baines brushed his arm.

Davies shirt was pulled inside the area and their 2nd was never a free kick. Thats how.

That substitution has left me numb.

First season is supposed to be, your Honeymoon period at the club.Martinez ... got what we were about and embraced it all.We loved him for that.He may have lost the dressing room (or certain parties) in his third season.That says to me... too many of those coming to their last couple of seasons are influencing the younger ones.The younger ones look up to these pay cheque grabbing has beens and it rubs off.Can you imagine Koeman doing a speech at Anfield ..for the Hillsborough Memorial representing us ..... with as much compassion as Roberto did ? No neither can I.He does not get us or the City.So I am now going back to the port and Brandy and gout lol. Rant over

January is utterly massive for the club and the team

Got excited for a minute there thinking I was special, but I can only turn wine into piss
