The Bielsa effect is starting to wear thin.

Radz and Orta also culpable, along with the spin doctor.

Forshaw has been one of the worst sub appearances i can remember.

Everything is a second to slow or underhit

Damn another 5 mins of abject s**t. Psychologically this could be disastrous for us. Losing and playing well is not so bad. Losing to a poor side and getting totally out played is criminal.

According to his interview the other day he is happy with things as they are. Good signings in the summer, good young signings to come through blah blah

We could play all night and not create anything.

Not one of them come away with any credit.

But it always starts when we getbit wrong in ghe middle.

Struijk at DMF is a risk we should not take..


We all knew exactly how SA would approach this and still we allowed ourselves. to be smothered.

For all the hate directed against Forshaw he is a far better option in there than anyone else at the club.

He is deluded.
MB doesnt trust the young players and would rather use any of his 18, as MB said himself.

Apart from Raph none of our Prem signings have shone consistently enough

Llorente the best of the rest but never fit.

I know it seems weird due to our performance, but Southampton are actually poor, they have just worked their socks off and managed to beat us at our own game.

Worst performance I have seen under Bielsa.
Radz and Co should hang their heads in shame for allowing our squad to get so thin.
Appalling.

absolutely nothing in the middle of the park - the last 10 minutes we couldn't get the ball out of defence. Very worrying - forshaw was pants

James is starting to look a bit like a Rodrigo signing - the fee at the very least looks like we've massively overpaid

He was s**t, gave the ball away numerous times.

Being the best of a crap list of options is no credit to him.

I think messrs Orta and Radz need to start strategic planning because imo we need more than our better players back.

And that in itself is a daming indictment of our summer recruitment.

Its what happens when you buy attacking players because of how much they run, its a ludicrous philosophy at the top level.

I know we're missing key players and I still don't think we'll get relegated but I have to admit the performances more than anything are very worrying.
