[George Owen]

Mentality and physicality wise, is there some other team worse than us?

 

[Niall]

If we could actually finish our chances it would help...

 

[RedIke]

What's the point of pre-season when every player looks off form, out of shape, and can't pass a ball?

Frustrating start to the season.

 

[berbatrick]

2nd half was like if last week's game was against a competent opponent. Zero for everybody involved.

 

[Westerkerk]

Same shite, different game

Forwards that run into dead ends like headless chickens

Midfield ghosts

No one who can pass the ball

Mystery system from the manager who looked clueless at the end

Garbage in, garbage out I'm afraid.

Early days but essentially very worrying signs from everywhere on the pitch

 

[JediSith]

Bruno is the lukaku of number 10s. His stats plus occasional spectacular pass / goal pad his regular wastefulness over 90 , and inability to make the right pass.

When you put his pros and cons on a scale. I think the cons outweigh the pros. Don’t get me wrong. He can be spectacular and will have spectacular moments and matches.

 

[Billy Jim]

Arsenal will rip us apart in a few weeks.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

fecking clown show.

 

[Fergies Gum]

Alarm bells were ringing after that shocking performance against Wolves. We keep playing like this and another equivalent of Liverpool 7-0 is just round the corner.

 

[Crimson King]

When will this team not make me miserable?

 

[moodyred]

I try to look at the positives.
We lost 4 nil to Brentford at this stage last year. So I guess there is some consistency?

 

[Red Star One]

Solid 3/10 performance overall

 

[My only Eric]

How can a coach who’s been here for a couple weeks, spent less and lost his best player look infinitely better than you?

 

[Godfather]

Unwatchable and boring. The only thing half entertaining was just how bad the second half was. Rashford completely lost up front. Bruno with another 0/10 performance. No idea what Mount actually is meant to be and finally wingers that do nothing. Great.

 

[podurban2]

Coming in to the season I had genuinely thought we were a Harry Kane and a few reinforcement signings away from a title push… but nope, no chance. We're a £1bn away from a title push. Another pathetic, miserable performance.

I don’t think any money in the world will solve our problems unless we buy the right players.

 

[Dobba]

Salvage something from the day by announcing MG has been chucked in the Shipping Canal.

 

[Parma Dewol]

How we never took the lead I’ll never know.

How we crumbled so completely in the second half God only knows.

 

[Pirlo'sBeard]

I'm very concerned.

 

[AdamColeBebe]

No improvement. Just a mixture of punting the ball into the air hoping it finds a red shirt, only for it to find either an opponent or go wildly out of play, and dribbling until we hit a man and get dispossessed with ease.

Everyone was equally anonymous. tumescent, aimless detritus with absolutely no quality whatsoever. You'll struggle to see a worse performance this weekend.

 

[Winrar]

This is basically last season’s game I. The same fixture, except without any goals to show for it.

Gonna be a very long season if this isthe kind of performance put in every week from us.

 

[Micky Targaryen]

Depressing...and the Glazers still here.

Well maybe the Glazers will finally feck off if we fail to qualify for UCL next season.

One for the Can A Loss Be A Win thread.

 

[Gandalf]

Should have been 3 up at half time, did not come back out of the dressing room. Rashford out of sorts, Antony makes Dan James look like Robben and it turns out Fred was our best midfielder.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Literally a carbon copy performance from last season against a top 9 side away from home.

 

[killerboi2]

2 signings isn't enough. Need a proper clearout and proper investment in the squad. People that thought everything was going to be ok and Ten Hag was going to work miracles are delusional.

 

[Gaidal]

So that is:
no dm, no right wing, no left wing, no striker. And Martinez not looking good since his injury.

ETH has failed massively with his tactics.

 

[Hugh Jass]

Good first half. Destroyed in that opening 20 minutes of the second half. not really going anywhere this season i feel.

Garnacho was poor as well today as was Anthony. Garnacho was making the wrong decision all the time. Lost the ball for the spurs play that led to the first goal.

I just dont think we have what city have under Pep which is a will to score and win. We had three free headers today and city would have scored two of them if it were them.

Rashford has to move back to the wing and hopefully Rasmus will be fit soon enough.

 

[Drifter]

Lack luster second half

 

[Shunty]

Have to make your own luck in a game like that stand up and be counted. Bruno unfortunately had one of his games where he bottles it, and nobody made things happen. Back in training tomorrow hopefully for the lads.

message to the owners, you are killing this club, let the football people make decisions about football matters and fcuk off.

 

[Vidyoyo]

It always tickles me when we get the kids on who don't look they've been coached to accept defeat. Pellistri was the only one trying at the end.

 

[AngliaRed]

30 years supporting this club and this as bad as it gets including the boardroom down to the pitch. Glazers have taken the soul of the club and its clearly rubbed off and affected the boys on the pitch.

9 mins of injury time and the team still cant be bothered to run or string 2 passes together.

Why do we look like we are running in glue whilst Spurs and Wolves look like theyre fitter and more up for it?

 

[Rockets Redglare]

Not sure if I want Ten Hag to go at the Refs or go at the players in the post match press conference.

The players, even with the VAR call we’d have lost that today. Absolutely useless bunch of overrated dross.

 

[Betson]

Pox lucky to win at home to a weak Wolves side and easily brushed aside today in the 2nd half today by a Kaneless Spurs.

Early days but the signs are not good , we are just not good enough.

We are regressing with each game and this trend started towards the end of last season.

 

[prateik]

Heh

 

[Superunknown]

I'm not seeing progression from last season. We played fairly well in the first half, but we were very poor in the second. There's no intensity when we have the ball. Everything slows down, people stop moving, and there's no urge to get to their byline or overload the box. All of these other things that various teams do, we simply don't. It generally feels like a struggle to even create chances.

I don't see how we're going to score goals, let alone actually win games. Nobody seems hungry.

 

[Freak]

How can a coach who’s been here for a couple weeks, spent less and lost his best player look infinitely better than you?

Exactly. It’s a disgrace.

 

[Santoryo]

Casemiro looking very old. Everybody on Spurs team had a way with him. Ten Hag will quickly regret his decision to focus on being the best transitioning team instead of exerting a lot more control in that midfield. I understand the personal doesn't necessarily scream control with players like Bruno, Rashford, Casemiro and such but he should try to force it in them.

Players simply shouldn't be allowed to be careless with the ball, it has to be a requirement for any of them to be able to complete simple passes without losing possession. Terrible performance overall.

 

[Sir Hag de Ten]

rashford is not CF.... keep him on the left. take off Antony from the starting line up and Martial starts as our CF until Hojlund is fit.

Is Martial fit enough to start a football game?

 

[Orange Tree]

Meh, same as last week.

This team looks lifeless going forward.

 

[Bestofthebest]

Well at least I got the result right but not the score. Doesn’t make me feel any better though.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

We are unfit. Performance wise I'm not going to panic just yet when new signings are still getting integrated. The fitness though... really, really poor. We have been slower and weaker in both our games.
