Painful in so many ways

** I always expected a loss vs Man City so not upset about the scoreline. Just observing the manner of the defeat...as fans, I doubt any of us feel entitled to win matches and trophies, but we are entitled to a performance from every player and the coaching staff.**

We look completely clueless. I donno what the faaaack has been going on in training since March.

Forget about the players as individuals for a bit...we have no unit to speak off. Going forwards, no one moves into space. Everyone is hiding. The only bright light is Martinelli. For all the pace we have up top...it is USELESS if we're cannot play passes between the lines or beyond the back four. Everyone is coming to feet and that makes us oh so predictable. I know people love Auba and he is definitely a gem, BUT he is a luxury player. Does little off the ball, and even on the ball, he does not go past players like you would expect a player of his calibre to. His passing is also average. I would have thought though that we'd play to his strengths...through balls beyond the back line for him to chase. But we dont. Same with Pepe...every pass he gets is with him facing our goal.

Defensively...as s unit we are faaacked. First goal...no one has the leadership skills to organize this? No one to yell at Martinelli to track his man (mind you the fault is also with our CMs as they all were getting drawn ro the ball with no awareness of runners). Second goal...AMN and Guendouzi JOGGING back. I was yelling at AMN "That's your man" as he made no attempt ed not to get back and Chambers was beaten for pace AGAIN.

Also...why are we BACKING away from attackers? Why does no one step to the ball? Why does no one command the defenders and yell at team mates to step?? Unbelievable. My Sunday league team defends better as a unit. And we are constantly TALKING.

We are in need of a serious no nonsense coach. One who will get rid of those who are incapable of learning and one who can bring in big personalities into this team. I honestly think it would be better for us to finish outside European places and regroup and reinvest. But it would mean losing Auba and Laca. What happened to not letting contracts get to less than 2 years? Our board is utter shieete
