Players who have played with Lundstram rave about his technical ability etc. The elephant in the room is how they’re being coached and what sort of team the manager wants us to be. They can rave about his technical ability all they want, his passing is horrendous. SPWF, MurrayWilson, HG5 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time wasting. I've never seen a team constantly give away so many cheap fouls that just hinder progress It’s fucking infuriating. We are so slow and always give the opponents time to reset.

bluenose48 953 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 We lumped long balls forward into spaces time and time again with nobody to control them. When they were attacking, even before Lunny got marched, they continually had one or more men free on the edge of the box especially O'Reilly he was continually free, he should have been in somebody's pocket all game. Lundstrams tackle was horrendous deserved a red all day long, but injuries and lack of players with heart cost us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloUSAGers 1,292 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 How many teams from tinpot leagues play better football in Europe than they do domestically? septic sure as shit don’t. We can play like kings against the likes of Benfica and Real Betis and look like we have never seen a football against Ross County (and to be fair Limassol, which is the exception that proves the rule).

Blue72 1,169 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Honestly can’t remember a time since about 2011 when we were regularly first to loose balls or to press quickly when we lose possession - we always look off the pace and that’s been under (admittedly mostly dire) numerous managers. Even when we’re good we don’t seem to do it well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a fuckign disgrace Saying it about the defence for years mate, we might moan about our attacking options but they are pretty much under pressure to score 2 maybe even 3 goals because we assume our defence will do its regular shit the bed routine at least once Saturday's goals are rank amateur stuff I genuinely have hated our defence for years now, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benidormbear 19 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Just look at our team and see how many international standard players we have and what countries they play for. That is the difference and why we are so poor. This all started in 2012 when our standards dropped, after losing high standard players, and the level of player we have signed is way below what is required for our club. The standard of players must be raised one way or another. Drunk and disorderly. and OrangeRab 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyserSoze 14,684 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 On 12/05/2024 at 19:28, The Godfather said: And this is the issue. Folk just want to keep chopping and changing managers but it's time to face the elephant in the room. These players are bottle merchants who think winning a sole title 3 years ago and a cup or 2 means job done. After Gerrard fled it needed gutted but was left to go stale and each manager tried to go with the same formula and players. These players will get you binned. It's a pity it wasn't Gio or latterly Gerrard who got the war chest to spend and rebuild with instead of the imbecile that is Beale who did set us back years with his big money signings. My fear is we don't have that kind of spending in is this summer and even if we did we would need every signing to click and from the get go. I don’t think anyone in our squad are “bottle merchants”. I just think they are bang average and find it difficult to raise their game. Giving the impression of bottling it. OrangeRab 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
