Agreed, Holtby has actually been better.

Problem is he is our best creative player. We really need him to step up particularly against the good teams. When he doesn't we look atrocious going forward

Eriksen look naff since preseason started tbh

Looks disinterested to me for the majority of games

I like Eriksen but my God if there was a player that typified our lack of intensity and physicality then he champions it. Without the ball he is just so poor and I swear my 7 yr old son is stronger in the tackle. Annoying to watch.

He hasn't been very good at all. Even before yesterday i regretted putting him into my Fantasy Football team but after yesterday he is definitely in line for subbing

Not good enough on the consistency front, which doesn't bode well as he is a key player for us

They way you guys are talking, our team won't make top ten this season.

we will be in the top 6. probably 6th

6th maybe 7th

Look at Liverpool as our blueprint on how to build!

Rodgers first season was spent getting his ideas to the reran while building the squad the way he wanted

Do we get European footy at 6th?

Depends on who wins the league cup!

If say a top four team wins it then yes 6th would get it

It always annoys me that only 4 years ago we had 3 world class players in bale modric and vdv
And now, only lloris is even close to that level

Not sure if the "floating" three that we're operating behind the striker suits Eriksen very well, but agree, he's looked pretty poor this season. Even in the QPR game there were other players having much more of an impact, and he's meant to be our most creative player

I thought Lamela was absolutely awful yesterday. He seems to have escaped criticism. I don't really know what he does, he doesn't look quick enough to be able to beat people on a regular basis. He doesn't get into threatening positions to score goals and he offers nothing defensively. I haven''t seen him in any other games this season, so maybe he has done things that I haven't seen, but surely he needs to offer more.

he only appears to shine against lower opposition like so many of our squad, a good indication that most are not good enough

Eriksen was one of maybe 3 layers WHO earnt their wages against Liverpool but playing with dross is making a mark on him

And now, only lloris is even close to that level

damn how did i miss that gem. He plays like the only goalkeeper in the World suffering from rigermortis. Chelseas second choice keeper is better than him

Lloris is well respected across the Prem, particularly for his movement and sweeping up.

He looks like Tin Tin !!

I said he was really poor during the live thread if that counts?

He was rubbish. His corners are p!sh and he looks like a little boy lost against tougher opposition.

Come on Hugo is among the top 10 best keepers in the world and we are lucky to have him

redrob,

I thought Lamela was absolutely awful yesterday. He seems to have escaped criticism.

================

He always does. He could have 1 good game per season and will be praised above all, and not recieve any criticism.

Also, for Christ sake we are only 3 league games in. I know it is disappointing losing a game, more so at home, and even more so by 3 goals, but this does not make all of our players shít.

Yesterday's tactics didnt work. Whilst Liverpool were the better team, their first goal was soft (Capoue should have tracked the man he was looking at), the 2nd was even softer (maybe Dier was a bit niave but Joe Allen dived like a right pússy) and the 3rd was possibly the worst defending ive ever seen.

Also, if Ade puts in that one on one then it could have been a different game. Why does this board want a whole overhaul after every loss?

City lost to Stoke, Arsenal drew against new boys Leicester, Man Utd havent won a single game - i think we all need to accept losses happen in football.
