KM #3

1

Utterly clueless performance in the second half. We just had no idea. Philogene was awful again - Ignore the lucky goals. We failed to punish an awful team with 10 men. We came out in the second half playing lazy football as if they thought it was going to be easy. Then having conceded yet another set piece by giving away yet another unnecessary corner, we just played the ball back and forth across the pitch for the rest of the half. You could see they had no plan and no idea what to do to break down the ten men. Philogene and Tuanzebe were pure comedy just playing it back and forth between each other. Philogene would do a few of those pointless jerky things, give it back to Tuanzebe who would gave it straight back for more comedy stationary step overs. The Utd defenders could have brought a teapot on and poured each other a cuppa. Any other team would have murdered Man U tonight.

Do lucky goals merit a higher rating?

We have a £20 million winger who has, as yet, not managed to beat anybody. He can’t defend well either. He has no ideas and looks like he doesn’t want the ball sometimes.

Painful 2nd half. McKenna said we would get better as the season progressed. We looked clueless.

Well that was rubbish...again.
No pace moving the ball through midfield.
Davis offered nothing going forward, and just a couple of decent defensive moments was all.....arrived a half hour late for much of it. Corners just terrible.
Greaves saw a lot of the ball but defensively poor
Nobody attacks the ball when it's in the air, been whingeing about that for a number of years.
Cajuste is our best central midfielder, but he's not quick.
Clarke getting better.
I was crying out for Taylor to replace Morsy and to get Broadhead in....but Broady went central so didn't see the ball. Geez, he needs to be left wing, getting the ball in space and running at and past players.
So darn frustrating watching ITFC, with the same weaknesses and failings as we've had since lord KM arrived. Can't defend set pieces and don't defend very well at all, don't move the ball from back to front with any intention!!

Dear Mr KMC, it is OK to drop a player when he is clearly out of form and we have a perfectly excellent backup warming the bench up. Yes we know Davis is some sort of miracle that we are blessed in having and he is Englands next bla blah but he has been completely s&£ this year!!!! Poor Cajuste was the only player who wanted to win last night, the rest were just dreadful, no team play, no combinations, all that we had last year with Burns and Chaplin has sadly gone. We now have great individuals who don’t play well in a team. Probably the reason they were available to buy. I said it before, the best we played all season was against Liverpool at home, the same team that won us promotion last year

'Running towards relegation' with this lot.
No passion, fight or desire. Sideways and backwards passing wont win you games.
Awful defending of set pieces.
Delap was very poor and very greedy....again.

Where do we go from here?

Philpott2 has summed this up pretty much as I saw it. Do want to mention Burgess who had to bide his time, but was excellent when he got his chance but seems nowhere near the matchday squad near. Hirst should have come on at HT. We don’t have any chance of staying up being this passive

Dosent what formation we play or who we select we are just not good enough. Players who are not in the team automatically become world beaters. There will have to be big changes in personnel next season especially in our scouting network it's championship at best has to be world wide. What's happened to the owners they were singing when we were winning sounds ominous. Bringing in a new manager might get us promoted again but we need to be more shrewd in the transfer market 15 to 20million pounds can get you a good player on the continent. Keiran McKenna is a good manager and would do well at a Brentford, Brighton or Bournemouth.
