So Ramseys injured , Ralls injured. Rinomhota to face the Jacks and a recall for Wintle?
We’ve got a team of gutless players. When the going gets tough, they get going. Bulut has to take a lot of flak for setting the team in a way that’s so easy to play through. We were an absolute shambles after the second goal. Playing well for the first 30 minutes isn’t good enough to excuse what was an absolute car crash defensively, again. For someone who is very negative, we have been awful at the back for Bulut’s entire time here.
You can forget Ramsey. He wont play more than 10 matches this season if that
Not sure our players are intrinsically 'gutless'. I think with a McCarthy or Warnock on the touchline they'd be far from that. Bulut seems like the music teacher, the only one you weren't afraid of. But I also think the players haven't bought in Bulut's style of play - I was told this indirectly in the summer.
The worrying thing is Burnley didn't play that well, not that they needed to.
It seems to me that the recent intake of strikers are muscle-bound lumps that don't show any kind of athleticism. It is often said that if a team of younger players take the kind of thumping we had today then it will shatter their confidence. Well I don't see that this kind of defeat does the senior players much good. Too many players are complacent in that they seem to think no matter how bad the result they will still be selected for the next game. A swift wholesale change to the starting lineup is what is needed. Tactics need to change but I cannot see that happening with the present regime. I rarely post anything that is critical of the club but today was just too much to stomach.
At the risk of inviting a pile on, although that was a terrible result it was also a bit of a freak scoreline. These stats are not normal for a 5-0 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football...14t#MatchStats
I think there's a team in there and we'll get a lot better (yes even under Bulut) but August will be difficult
Save me Jimmy
I get that, if we could have scored first in both of our league games this season, things might have turned out differently. Most have been after a striker to put the ball in the net and, it seems at least, like we are trying to be a bit more creative.
However, we look a complete shambles at the back. As last season went on, we looked worse and worse in defence. Bulut has brought in an attacking coach, but it looks like we need someone who can organise things at the back.
