Oh how we missed Cunha last night.
Certain players lack desire, hunger and the mental strength to churn out results.
We had the opportunity to get top 4/5 after others faltered.
Rather than take that opportunity, we laboured through the motions, even against 10men.

For me, after that abject performance, the following players hammered the final nail in their coffin.
Dorgu, Mazraoui, Amad, Zirkzee, Bruno, Shaw, Mount, Dalot.

Mainoo came on and at least had the desire to try and change the game, the others kept going backwards, throwing arms in the air, not tracking back etc etc.

If nothing else, this performance proved that we are still 6 (at least) players away from competing week in, week out.

I hope it was a blip, I hope Cunha comes back and the intensity is there again, but it should be running through the entire team, and after that it is evident it isn't.

Cut our losses, move forward.

Surely you can't think that Amad and Mount - who have been two of our best players this season have put the nail in their coffin? Incidentally they are two of the players who actually run and work for the team.

Zirkzee, Dorgu and Dalot I completely agree with.

I get you on Dalot but why bring him on at LwB against 10? It’s not even fair on him.

Same with a few really they just not good at what they’re being asked to do.

Mount is supposedly a coach’s dream and intelligent but he looks lost. It says a lot.

JD, mount has not been available for most of his time, he was a bad purchase and we should cut him loose.

Amad is not a WB and is too lightweight. He throws his arms up more than Bruno, doesn't pass when he should, tries to walk the ball through a low block etc etc etc. he annoys me more than any other player in our squad, and that's saying something.
