Our defence isn't our secret weapon it was only a matter of time before we fell apart with no attacking threat the defence is under pressure all the time and they have caved in. Thing is when this happens the confidence goes and things seem to get worse. My other point is how come we always say it's a money thing to why we can't play football when you look at teams like Brighton how come they don't spend big but can still play football on the deck they payed out from the back and broke our high press with ease. They play the modern game but we can't it must be the recruitment and the managements fault because if Brighton and other teams can find the players to play proper football without spending big why the heck can't we. It's baffling football has moved on but we can't seem to go with it and we are getting left behind.

12 or so managers under FM, still a few players from about four or five managers ago. Players HAVE to be held accountable as well. I honestly believe the likes of Pep or Klopp would struggle getting anything out of this squad.
It's not just the board or manager, the three go hand in hand.

I’m going to play devils advocate here peeps, let’s look at the goals we conceded, 1st - Patterson in 2 minds whether to go for the ball and in that split decision the guy has gone past him, no one coming over to make the cover and the guy walks into our area and puts the ball in, did Lampard coach him to do that?
2nd - Ball gets played into the box, Mikky completely loses his man, has no idea where he is, the guy takes full advantage cuts inside, nobody covering and he taps in for number 2, did Lampard coach him to defend like that?
3rd - How much time and space has this guy got in order to cut in and pick his spot, this time we have the cover, we got 2 guys on him, Tarky does some weird diving header thing and ends up on the floor for the guy to get the ball out of his feet and slot home for number 3, did Lampard coach Tarky to do that?
4th - We all know what happened with this one, massive lack of judgement from Gueye and the pass was hugely underhit, is this something that Lampard coaches during training sessions?
Answer to all of these questions is NO, these are crazy decisions that these players are making off their own backs during the game that has cost us massively tonight!
Lampard is not the problem.
DCL was utter garbage tonight, didn’t attack the ball enough, I want to see him bullying defenders and throwing his weight around and giving defenders something to think about and forcing them to make errors that we can capitalise on, saw none of that from him, except for Demi and Pickford the rest were utter sh! te tonight, just laid down and let Brighton walk through them.
I don’t know what the answer is but I think the starting point is that these players need to give it all for our great club otherwise we are staring down the barrel of relegation this season and that’s not good!
