Why can't we get results away from home...

[Kurt.]

I love these new bed wetting threads every time we lose. It’s amazing how creative people can be to basically replicate threads under a totally different name.

Because we just dawdle about and never get at teams from the off, all too ponderous and slow like we are 5-0 up or something when its 0-0 and teams are there to be beat but we do nothing

Exactly,we spend half the game trying to keep possession in our own half............until we eventually lose possession, home and away!!

Cos there's NO LEADERS and it drives me mad .when was the last time you have seen one of our players kick off or go mad when we concead a goal it's like they just shrug there shoulders or bow there heads .there's no reaction I will give you an example look at Peter reids reaction when we went one down against Luton in the 85 semi he snarls and you can see he hurting by going one down and is up for it and never gives up .were is that in this team there all to nice

A good point we have no leaders....


Jagielka was a leader, but now I guess we don't have one....

Our away results are absolutely shambolic...

Why can't we find any kind of form away from home ?

At home we can get results even if we are not that strong at present....

However away from home we seem to be a soft touch & go down too easy...

We can’t get results at home either we even lost to West Ham and Leicester these average teams.

I go into most away games expecting to lose. It's ingrained in our mentality. At least at home you hope we can win but since the first Martinez season against most big teams we give up before we start too. Which is worrying given we have a run of them at home soon.

Yes it is worrying...

We may need to change formation in the games against the top 6....

As the Spurs game was a total disaster, our defensive game needs to be beefed up a little....

 

[Acelisc008]

Needs to change the formation to 4-3-3, that’s apparently what Marco usually plays. Siggy needs dropping and we need a striker as well as two central midfielders who have pace and a bit of physical presence.

Agree with this. The players aren't willing to put up a fight when it's a tough game. They are ok when it's a routine win at home to a poor side. However when we fall behind they are too willing to accept defeat.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Because no one at the club demands the team perform. There is no expectation to win. There are no repercussions if we lose. We just move onto next week. There's a toxic culture of being content to lose.

Because we play totally the wrong style of football for the players we have, it seems like we are playing possession based football when with the pace we have Bernard Walcott Lookman and Richarlson we should be looking more to the counter attack, instead when we win the ball we pass it around the place for 5 minutes meanwhile the opposition have had time to have a picnic head to the pub for a beer come back and get organised. I genuinely can't remember the last time we have had a manager who played to our strengths they've all had their own way of playing and didn't change things up, stubborn managers with the If plan A is not working Let's go back to plan A one way of playing and that's it, attitude. I'd love to see a manager just change things up if their way is not working, like silvas way is not currently working he needs to change it up to something similar to how Liverpool play or Leicester when they won the league, we have the pace to do that, and we'd be a hell of lot better off points wise if we did.

Soft mentality. Zero intensity. No leaders.

 

[billyblue80]

Might be time to go to 3-5-2 it may get us up the pitch a bit. We are currently disjointed

 

[Leeboy1974]

Coz we have a league 2 manager with championship players playing in the premiership

 

[marcus]

We have been so poor since the derby loss it seems to have drained all our confidence...

New players are required the current squad seem tired lack confidence & are not good enough...

More competition for places is key for a team to move forward....

Reality check at the moment, we are where we are.....more is required we all know that & Marco Silva must be given more time....
