Here we go again

Even after 10 mins it seems we still haven’t found that spark we had early season where we were passing it so quickly and crisply. It all seems so laboured now

Too much being asked of our defenders with these recovery runs, I keep saying it. Playing on halfway is madness.

We're faaaar too slow in our build up

It is beginning to feel like watching Conte ball, just a little further up the field.

I was just thinking this. When I first saw us under Ange I was impressed with the speed of our press and directness of our attack. Where has it gone?

All we need VDV … crocked again

I guess when your tactic is to ask your defenders to track back at top speed, you're going to pick up more injuries than most. Although this one looks like a twisted ankle.

Teams like Palace have sussed us, sit deep and try to beat our high line on the counter.

Literally came on here to say that. Slipping all the time can’t be good for injuries either

Same pattern as the previous games.

Madders and bentancur swapped sides, unsure why

Exactly what I was thinking

Rhe first 10 games of this season seem a long long time ago
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you play a team which will not change their tactics, no matter what, it is really easy to plan how to set up

It's their only option. Try to match us and we will bury them.

That’s my worry. Ange needs to find a way around it.

Tbf you worry about everything

I think it's as much confidence as it is tactical though. A lot of the lads hesitate on the ball and go for the easier square pass a lot.

What's the cause do you think, over watered to make the ball zip around more.

Ask Celtic fans, he won't change anything. It is why they got spanked in Europe

I think Werner is rubbish, but it doesn’t help that he always plays on the left as a right footer and receives the ball facing backwards, and always wants to cut in. If we stuck him on the right at least he could use his one asset, pace

Players need to wear longer studs.
