Poor day today.
Only benteleb and paulinho looked decent.
Lennon looked lost
Saldado pure rubbish from a 30mil Spanish international
Adi tried hard
Eriksen got out played by the HUD
No direction just 11 headless chickens chasing hull players and the ball round the pitch
I'll say it again players are to be bought according to who the manager wants end off
We bought a bunch of players and have asked 2 managers now to make it work ( it dnt happen like that)
Look at Liverpool Chelsea arsenal city
There managers chooses who comes and who goes

Terrible game today, boring, so many passes astray, dssidnt look to me like anyone looked desperate to win. Midfield was soft, its a team with no heartbeat, also showed how missed dembele was, to keep choosing bentale over capoue is scandalous.
One thing I don't get we want to win, not playing well and yet not a single change from the bench to do something different. That was ridiculous.
Top 4 I really don't see, there's no fluency, can't wait for Townsend to come back on the left as he looks good left with crosses, and get Erikson middle where we need some creativity. Paulinho isn't an attacking midfielder and doesn't play that role for Brazil play him how he plays best.

another rubbish result we can forget champions league I can't see us even finishing in the top 6

It is simply not good enough. Very poor team selection again and as I have said before, Tim Sherwood has not got a clue what he is doing.

Completely out of his depth!

Dawson just doesn't cut it anymore, If sherwood wants to show real intent we need to field our strongest team. Bentaleb should only be a bit part player to develop.

Bentaleb is not good enough end of. Capoue must be angry. Sherwood is going for his reputation by picking him, hoping that his brave decision pays off and makes him looklike an astute manager which he obviously isn't. Sherwood says he knows Bentaleb better what a load of crap that is, Capoue is much better its painfully obvious.

As Sherwood said in an interview, I don't pick players on skill ( that shows ) I pick players on passion and what I see! Where Dawson is concerned, TS has a white stick! And once again our midfield is being bossed by mid table players, and our so called box to box midfielders seem scared to leave the centre circle! Shows how far we have dropped!

Be interesting to see the excuses again, can't wait for match of the day!!

Do you know what? I'm going to put myself up for being shot down by plenty of people I reckon but. is Holtby actually that good (yet)? I mean he hasn't played a great deal, there have been some good touches and odd promising signs but, overall as many mis-placed passes and missed tackles as others who are tarnished as useless. He hasn't scored as many important goals as Sig has popped up with, he doesn't have an obvious position/role for us (although we've generally been very confused for some time in that respect). A loan to Fulham is best all round to see what he can actually produce in the Prem with some decent game-time. Neither manager has fancied him as a first choice to date.

You know what his problem is Simmo. it's positioning, a playmaker should always be trying to face the opposition goal & seeing what's ahead of him. To many times he gets ahead of the ball which is a no no if your meant to be the playmaker, just look at Alonso. pirlo, modric & xavi they always seem to be coming into ball & can see the whole pitch infront of them & there head is up surveying the right pass before they recieve the ball.
He has the talent, he just needs to relax & not so eager to impress & lack of games has'nt helped him & if he can get a run of games & some confidence along with the right coaching there's a damn fine player in there.
He beads to learn less is more & stop running around like a lunitac & learn to tead the game. He's still young & has the talent, hopefully a consecutive run of games will help him
