He’s the guy that’s meant to be making things happen. 

How can he make things happen when we're spending all our time defending, we're sitting so deep that we're inviting them onto us, we're not leaving a single player on the half way line when we're defending.

The issue here isn't one player not performing, it's the team failing as a whole meaning everyone is looking for that individual player who "isn't up to it" when the truth is the gameplan is letting the whole team down.

It's only a matter of time before we concede like this, far too negative, far too deep, not retaining the ball when we win it back meaning we play it long and it just comes back at us. It's the tactics, the players look worse than usual because they're sticking to what the manager has asked of them and it's clearly not working.

Look defensively brittle and toothless from set pieces without Dickie but without Max this game would be out of sight already! 

Sunderland don't look too great but just shows what a massive miss Dickie is, missing that height, the calmness and his leadership. 

Formation switching from a back 4 to a 5 depending on where we have possession of the ball, but we haven't really looked dangerous in either formation bar the first 5 minutes or so.

You must be really smart, Spike.  I’ve no idea what the game plan is!

I cant wait for season to end ive had bellyful of watching this crap its been a long  season of watching dire mediocre football hopefully when manning has signed his players to play the way he wants we see a massive upturn in entertaining performances  because if we lost every game till the season ends manning aint going nowhere
