The difference in intensity and energy and quality to what we’ve been watching

That was the moment of quality we have been searching for. They are class. we have given it a go at least

That’s absolutely outrageous

Penalty!

Much better since the break

I don’t think there is a lack of intensity or effort tonight- there is just no cohesion or conviction to anything we do and we look second best in every respect. They are calm, composed accurate and slick and we are running around like school kids

His leg just seems to have given way, very strange but he looks in a lot of pain

They just have this thing where they pass the ball to each other at pace in a way that suggests a plan of sorts

It’s a dreadful performance by him this far

Well done young man

We lost to Wolves

What a player, what a great character to have around the place. Talk about someone ‘getting it’

Yeah, that’s not a football decision

Aren’t you supposed to put your body on the line and throw yourself in the way of shots?

Very very entertaining opening 20 mins at the Bernabeu. This is what football looks like then

It’s what we’re all thinking

Yep, I was very much thinking/ hoping that what I was seeing was a result of serious mitigation around Jota, new players settling, old players fading and the delayed hangover/transition from Klopp, but it’s become an inexplicable and inexcusable mess and despite all the context it’s clear we should be doing a lot better. The fundamentals just aren’t there, the basics that would give any credibility to the idea it can be turned around are missing

Fair enough- and yes, every game I watch (involving us or not) I see teams who are better organised and have more energy, more individual and collective dynamism and more speed with and without the ball. its just hard to fathom how such great players can be so bad

It certainly looks like it, but is there anything to substantiate the notion that we don’t train properly and that the players fitness isn’t being properly managed? It seems to be received wisdom on here and it might explain what I’m seeing with my eyes, but is there any actual evidence?

He needs to borrow a t shirt from Mo

That was very different but technically I have to concede that

No one resigns anymore do they

And we still have the excitement of seeing how he misuses and ruins Isak to look forward to!

Except spurs were fine when they played us and conceded. Funny that.
