These ‘dry loans’ show we have no conviction in our decision making and confirm the scattergun approach to fill gaps to get through these 6 months. These aren’t plan A, B or C. It’s just a response to random loan bids until someone bites.

Gets kicked in the back of the head. None of his teammates give a shit. Sums up this group of players. Their spokesman is the back-up goalkeeper, it’s that devoid of personalities or leaders.

Dropping him for 3 games and purchasing a decent CF albeit on loan was always going to kill him mentally with how psychologically fragile he is. I don’t see him recovering now, he’s trying too hard, is irritable, has lost confidence and the footballing basics have deserted him. Even though...

Spent the 60 million on the wrong Atalanta player. They may have sold us Ederson for that price.

Lucky that we get to enjoy being dumped out by Milan or PSV instead of Bayern or Real Madrid?

100 Sideways and backwards passes with no purpose will be the likely cause. It bores the people doing it more than the opposition watching it. Time for Motta to go. His tactics are pointless, because he doesn’t have the ability to motivate this team and do the basics you’d expect such as work...

Because that contravenes the laws of 2-7-2 that requires 7 players down the middle of the pitch, because you know…. Possession is the law.

It’s easier to blame others than look inward at the state he’s left the squad in. We’re down to one CB because he terminated the contract of one and shipped the other two off on loan without a concrete plan. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg.

If Man City offer 65 million then we should chuck them a free loan of Dougie Lulz where they pay his full wages. Can’t get much worse than he’s been and may help us sell him in the summer.

At this point we can conclude that Motta is unable to adapt. We’re 7 months in, and I can’t recall a single occasion where we’ve adapted to what the opposition is doing and take advantage. It’s plan A only, and sadly for us plan A is predictable and easy to play against.

Two teams without much to lose and likely to end up mid table, but a win would have offered a possibility of top 8. Yet neither side looked like they wanted to win it. We looked shit, whilst they were hard-working, they also looked shit technically, and we are the real suckers for wasting 2...

Or at least not fielding them at the same time forcing us into having two lightweight players in the middle of the field unable to sprint.

If Gatti makes that Kolasinac elbow then you know for sure VAR would’ve been in business.

One final chance to launch a long ball and they pass tamely sideways to a conclusion. Encapsulates this entire season.

When will this shit season end so that we can start year zero again.

Can’t chuck a bunch of inexperienced players at the top level at a top club led by an inexperienced coach and hope for success. This rebuild was doomed from the start and a lot of money has pissed away in the process again. They all look rattled by the pressure and I can’t see it changing.

This backline is truly dogshit. They lack ability, experience and when they concede a goal they are rattled like the spineless bunch they are.

Just like our group of players do when they are level or leading by 1 with 10 minutes to go. Lecce, Stuttgart, Cagliari, Fiorentina. And we got away with one at Villa.

At some point these dumb fucks should use their brain, stop panicking and committing players ahead of the ball when we have barely been able to hold a lead all season. Use the fucking sideline, not the centre of the field. It’s not unlucky when we’ve conceded many ‘unlucky’ equalisers now.

Conceded one real chance and got punished, Savona and Conceicao both go to cover the same player who cut back to Adli, Gatti ball watching covered no one, Kalulu is small, and three Fiorentina players could’ve scored. What remains the most frustrating thing is we’ve spent 140 million for two...
