The defence need to start defending properly like statues for first goal VVD should be dropped he is way off his game konate all over the place he thinks he is better than he really is but because we messed around over Isak transfer and everyones head was on this and we never got the defenders we badly needed and this lead to a very poor preseason,
and now we can not drop either of the two center backs as for the left back i have seen better in my local park on a Sunday morning waste of money the right back is made of candyfloss two games he then out for four or five games so the whole defence is never the same which is showing in every game and i do not care what reds think we miss Trent and Diaz .
I have never seen such a massive hole in the middle of the park in all the years i have watched the reds you can not have all three midfielders chasing the ball with out one sitting as the third goal showed . If Gomez has been training every week why did he not put him in at right back a position joe has covered before .
The system we are playing may work in other leagues but not in premier league the sooner we change this system the better the team will play . As i have posted before this system is a Dutch way of trying to create another total football system when was the last time the Dutch won anything . When will the next time we win anything?

The last time a Dutch manager won anything in England was as far back as the 24/ 25 season.

Its such a shame that Leoni got injured for an entire season as i feel he would have brough the dynamism and determination which we currently lack.

“Leone would have brought dynamism and determination” haha. We could have prime Hansen and Lawrenson and we’d still but cut open as a result of Slot’s tactics.

Doc, we aren't improving by putting an 18 year old at the back.
Rome, I get letting calm heads prevail and all of that but how much longer do we let that happen? I'm not seeing signs of improvement here. Back to back 3-0 defeats for the first time since the 60s after winning the league and massive summer outlay.

Good Dutch managers outside of there own country tend to do well at Barca,

Agree with Frode. We’ve been repeatedly opened up in midfield to the point where opponents almost expect to score.

Sorry the Dutch national team I meant Rome 1977 because we are playing the same way as the Dutch national team . YNWA.
