Lack of quality is one thing, but lack of desire is inexcusable. It was summed up for me yesterday on 95 mins when we were still strolling around with the ball at the back. Mind blowing. Just did not look interested.

It’s down to players yes but the tactics and formation give us very little going forwards.
Without DJs goals this season we would be in relegation trouble.
Our forwards are lacking in confidence , midfield is creating very little in attack, and we don’t have a defender contributing any goals either.
Very disappointing, very.
Without all the pens we got early on

One thing is for sure. Remember the times Neil and players have had a pop at the fans for getting on their backs.
Well yesterday there were no fans, and thet faffed about for 90 minutes creating nothing and going sideways.
I don't ever want to hear that pathetic excuse again.
And also now what a waste the Man City cup game was. We've been average since then anyway.
I think this is a good point. They had the gall to ask the fans to chill and then put in performances like these recent ones.

The only player I saw actually try and put a tackle in on Rooney all game was Harrop with about 10 minutes to go. Utterly pathetic efforts at closing, tackle, harassing and trying to win the ball back.
Any build up play we did have was painfully slow, though it is when there are fans in the ground so I can't say I was surprised. Constant safe backward passes with no one taking any responsibility for trying anything even remotely ambitious.
