I think we don't show enough urgency, and don't have enough of a work ethic for the team as a whole, to cancel out a clear lack of quality in some areas with hard work. You cannot find a subsitute for quality but I look at our games and find a lot of the time that a shift hasn't been put in by enough of the players on the day.
That has been as issue for the most part since Martinez second season, so recurring under several managers.
We are a side that is easy to bully and pen back, and find it difficult to soak up a period of sustained pressure without conceding.
All of that is a generalisation I accept, but still hard to reconcile.

That list is so scary. It just screams out that we're a team of bottlers. I wonder how it compares to other clubs.
The players are equally to blame as well.
And tbf as @Lanolin has rightly pointed out, it's not that we have actually caved in all of them. We just haven't had the quality to get the goals.
Not an excuse for any of them, it's a dreadful record.
Unfortunately they're that numb and literal that they will take that as a compliment.
I get that to an extent but we have brought in almost a brand new team over the last 3 windows including the ones Brands brought in. If you are including those players as being suspect mentally as well than that's just terrible recruitment from Brands as well, no?
He’d never ever manage them

Football News 24/7 While this website has made its name focusing on the lesser known youth of this beautiful sport, and combined it with a tinge of tactical flavour meant for the football enthusiast, we found a large gap to be exploited in terms of combining the two. This mini-series thus...

I can see why you’re a professor
Honestly I can see that being true. As I've been saying, there's very little wrong with our overall defensive structure, and in open play we look quite solid. We just look terrible from set pieces (and have a couple of poor defenders but there's not a lot he can do about that just yet). The counter attacking thing has a lot of truth to it, and goes some way to explaining what some are trying to claim is a mental issue above. When teams score first against us and don't need to come at us, we find it very difficult to get back into the game because we can't counter them. When we take the lead and make teams have a go, we are better at scoring again and winning the game. It's very much a tactical/quality issue rather than a mental one in my opinion."Unlike other modern coaches such as Jurgen Klopp, the Portuguese’s first thought is to keep a clean sheet, rather than to out-gun their opponents. Even at a side with a crowd as demanding of dominating, attacking football like Olympiakos, Silva’s priority was organisation and defensive structure. His main form of attack is counter attack – the Greeks even used to joke that his side were so eager to counter, they would often consider giving the ball to their opponents just to break on them."Tactical Philosophy: Marco Silva • Outside of the Boot

I know I know another Moyes era shout but I remember conceding back then and looking forward to a good fight back. and also if we scored first we'd like go on to win. especially 2005 you'd stick a fork in it at 1 nil up.

Of course it would!
It gives us a focal point, someone to play off, someone to run the channel, someone to hold the ball to sustain pressure, someone to aim at for crosses.
Our strikers are absolute pony. And to think, some of you didn't want Batsyuayi!!!
