I think there's a lot of truth in your point.
We can be devastating if we get ball forward and move it quickly.
We often go backwards or are too ponderous allowing defences to get in shape and blunt attacks.

Because if we win next Thursday everything that happened today will be forgotten and written off as a blip. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with constructive criticism but some of the comments on the match thread were way over the top. It just my observation, everyone can have an opinion.

If you look at how we played at the start of the season compared to now, and who was in the team compared to now you'll probably find some kind of correlation. You can't take Mitoma and Solly out of our team and not take a hit. They can beat players, but also they pull players out wide leaving space for AMs and strikers. It's a huge loss. Look at Palace when they're missing Olise and Eze.
But we drew and lost most our games this season with Mitoma playing
he’s been poor this season as welltigertim68

Or if we get another bad performance and lose badly, our season is over
West Ham won a trophy so this could be good. They also got 40 points last season. We are not in a relegation battle like West Ham were last year.

Haven’t read the thread but that was shit in every conceivable way. Negative fearful football in the final third, terrible defending, trying to walk the ball into the net, so many over hit final balls, second to the ball. Inferior Potterball. Hard to think a game could piss me off more than the Wolves one but it did. Pathetic performance

RDZ himself said Gilmour is our only playmaker. Maybe Buonanotte is becoming another, but from deep it's Gilmour or no-one.

So you think we can get 7th place? Lets take Europa league Serious.
We may never qualify for it again. Lets go as far aswe can with our strongest side as possible,who knows how far we can go. Have a look at the top 11 teams in the PL as it stands now, how many of them Realistically can we compete with and stay above until the end of the season.
Imo there are the usual so called big 6 with Villa and Newcastle challenging them for 7 places. Our only chance of getting top 6 is Newcastle and Chelsea having poor runs.
True... and I forgot they won

And if those benched players had got injured, or played shite on Thursday we all be saying why did he play them against Fulham.

Yes criticise but some of the comments make us look like Chelsea fans. We dont have strength in depth, a piss poor January transfer window did not help. This is not putting the blame on Tony Bloom, but it a collective thing. We win together and we lose together.

As it is most seasons by this stage unless we are in a lower division. Can’t keep making the hurdles higher and higher if you want to enjoy it. Football is a long term emotional investment.
Mostly when Pervis was missing……..But we drew and lost most our games this season with Mitoma playing
I rest my bastard case.
Deeply frustrating. Got to remember that I’m feeling cheesed off about what is likely to be the third best season of our history at worst but it feels like the season is ebbing away after the past week.
Obviously the Europa League can restore the mojo in an instant but I can’t see Roma bricking it right now.
Potterball was solid though ..... We were more defensive and poor upfront, at the moment we don't have a defence and we are rubbish upfront

Their 3rd goal summed up all that is missing from our style of play.

I think in the main, we needed Hinsh and Mitoma not to be injured in February tbh or Pedro for that matter but no one has a crystal ball. By the end of February/mid March most of our long term injuries were due to come back and by end of January the situation was looking a lot better than it had in November and December/early January.
