Ultimately, it's one game, but it's shown some of the most worrying things that I hate in managers.
Stubbornness through things that clearly aren't working, over complicated 'solutions' when simpler ones exist, passively watching a game go wrong.
Needs to course correct quickly
What the fuck has this been from Alonso?
Literally got every decision wrong, players out of position, refusing to play a striker when it's clear it's not working
One of the worst managerial displays i've seen in a long, long time and we've had a lot to choose from recently

Don't care. Only total fucking losers care about retroactively awarded titles.

no thanks, have zero desire in any retrospective trophies we didn’t actually win being awarded.
You don’t get the moment, the highlights to watch back, it doesn’t mean anything.
Just wipe that years record and let’s all move on

umm, that's just a definite red?
🚨𝗗𝗘𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗘: Declan Rice lost his cool. Did this challenge on Malick Yalcouyé warrant a red card? xitter.cf/csabesz30/status/21013…
understand the emotional response, some criticisms absolutely justified and amplified by early season hopes but we're GW5 into a new system with key players missing.
Doesn't excuse results nor suggest improvement isn't needed but reactions are a bit OTT for me.
but yeah, if you add even 2 of JP, Caicedo, Palestra, Reece back into the mix then it's likely a very different outcome.
Hell, even Emegha who I don't rate at all atleast gives you another option rather than Welbeck for 90 or Rogers/Palmer having to adapt into SS
not sure if it's a Sky Sports thing or just football broadcasting in general but the amount of time spent watching replays/face cams/fans when the game is actively ongoing is getting unbelievably jarring - who actually wants that?
There will be games for both but I cannot stress how negative Neto is in games like that. Baffling he stayed on as long as he did.
One of those games where there was just no cutting edge and no urgency.
Rogers particularly poor which we couldn't afford given JPs absence and everyone started to play it way too safe as belief faded.
Thank god for international break so we can get some players back
Not sure if this really applies to JJ given he's not even 16 but I do think there's a line of thinking that a highly promising youth player leaving at ~17-19 gives them a better chance at high level first team minutes as they go from promising youngster to first team signing.
