But this isn't the year of transition. Its next season. We are going to have at least 6 to 7 new starters, not squad or subs, but starters next season.
Two ways to look at it; bad, losing all the experience or good, we were pretty poor anyway.
I'm going for good as let's be honest, bar a three month period we have been gash to watch. |

It's not the defeat, but the nature of it. At least have a go, do something, anything to grab a goal.
I'm a big fan of Marti, but the performances are becoming very sterile. We just seem to have fizzled out. Really disappointing.
But, you've got to look at the quality of the players. Pretty poor. |

Said it after the game against Sheffield United. He can do no more.
I think he'll walk in the summer. |

Quite a few have hit the beach, and you can't blame them. A huge summer coming up in terms of recruitment, get it right and a mid table finish is achievable, get it wrong and we could be bang in trouble.
Dunne I think will walk.
Biggest concern, if you were Marti would you want to have to start from scratch again? I think he might walk as well. |

So they all out for the rest of the season, bar Kolli maybe.
Brilliant! |

I cannot believe some of the misinformation and down right lies that some people on here spout defending Putin.
Either people are naive or downright fascist to come out with some of the comments, some clearly tinged with racist undertones.
Suggest some on here read Russian history and look at Russian Imperial maps to see Putins ideal end to this war. |

Drive Kingston to Kew. Train Kew to Hammersmith, then Hammersmith to Shepards Bush Market.
1 hour door to door if trains are OK. |

Yep, Friel is a right back. 18yo and been spotted in photos on Twitter training with the first team. |

Because Varane doesn't go forward we are easy to defend against.
In all teams your 6 should be the most creative as all attacks will start with him. He wins the ball and moves it on, but quickly. Varane doesn't do this.
Both Varane and Field are massive problems because their passing and vision is p!ss poor. They create NOTHING. How many assists have the pair got?
1 ASSIST ALL SEASON BETWEEN THEM !!!! From our central midfield pairing. Jesus, that is dog shyte.
Some can moan about missed chances, referees, poor defending etc but that is the biggest problem in this team. To easy to defend against.
And for those saying Varane has potential, he is 24 in September, he better start improving soon so we can flog him. |

Lie. They have been confirmed as fighting by South Korean Intelligence and they have been captured.
I hate these political threads as all the right wing nut jobs and apologists appear. |

There were options for him, but his body shape is completely wrong when receiving the ball. So it either goes straight back where it came from, or by the time he turns he is either under pressure or the passing lanes have been blocked.
A good central midfielder has already made his mind up where the ball is going before he has received it. Therefore the pass is quicker and players are free to receive.
Varane (and Field) can't do it hence we are slow and predictable.
Anyone else notice that we have become much more of a counterattack team with the ball bypassing the central midfield, rather than dominating teams? Because we have no one in central midfield good enough to control a game. |

They did yesterday. We never looked like winning once they got the first goal, it was almost like a training ground game for them at some points in the first half.
We rarely threatened in the second half, and not at all after we scored the penalty. I thought they did well, allowing Varane to pick the ball up deep knowing he won't/can't create anything. And Varane created naff all. |

Thank God, I thought it was just me. Second half we were crying out for him to pick a forward pass and he either turned back or just to took the wrong option. He was so deep my son said he thought Varane would make a decent centre back.
If you also have an entire stadium shouting 'turn' or 'forward' at a professional footballer then that kind of highlights it is a big problem.
A number 6 needs to be creative, pick a pass to split a defence from deep, but he can't do it. How many times has a ball been slipped through for our striker to run onto one on one and score? I think it might of been Celars goal against Cardiff!
We have become predictable over the past 5 or 6 weeks as teams know we have no threat centrally. We've even become a little boring to watch, trying to do the same thing again and again using width. It's very frustrating. |

They walked that game, and never had to get out of 2nd gear. Their midfield bossed ours, their movement was better, their control of the game was better. Nothing wrong with that, they spent a fortune and are still pretty crap and they'll get battered next season.
We are still unable to control a game and put sustained pressure on teams, we are a counter attack team due to the ongoing problem in central midfield.
We gave it a good go though, but Sheff Utd deserved it. |
