#INGAME

We have no aerial presence in the box, but still keep on floating in crosses all the time

Colwill losing his man in the box has been a consistent weakness, he's just not what you build a team on.

Liverpool
Newcastle
Forest
Fulham and
United still to go btw

Yeah we lost top 4 when Ipswich did the double on our heads.

Lots of people kept telling me to stop being negative, I wasn't negative when I said Clearlake is killing this team i was being real.

Cucurella is our top scorer in 2025

Speaks volumes about our attackers and the system

A huge problem we have at the club is the inconsistencies of our young squad

Palmer, Madueke, Jackson all have lower outputs than they had in the first half of the season

Colwill having lapses in concentration from time to time

Gusto having a not so great season after a brilliant debut season

Young players will rarely give you consistency

Absolute Shit

I have been Maresca's top fan and advocate but I think he is starting to lose me.

Maresca decisions have been bordering amateurish and he is the main reason why we keep dropping points. Forget the "players waste chances" bullshit

✓ The inexplicable Fielding and benching key players against Brentford
✓ The stupid experimented line up and fielding of players out of position
✓ Sticking to the stupid inverts even when it leaves glaring weak points in defence
✓ The team sticking to game plans even when they are not working, like the stupid continuous crosses

When we have amateur players, you expect a strong and astute coach to lead and guide through tactical strength and mental fortitude.

For now, it's the opposite. He is just as panicked as the players he is leading.

Maresca has a history of faltering under pressure even with Leicester.

This is a manager who has not won against big teams or strong opponents in the league except for Tottenham. With the tough fixture run we have, with this mentality, we should be worried.

Maybe it's not that some fans are pure sadists when they call him a championship level manager. May be he Truly is.

1 point from 6 against Ipswich is unacceptable. Could literally be the difference between getting CL or not.

Decision making from Palmer and Neto is too bad man, especially Palmer. Wants a solo goal so bad at the expense of the team. Neto shouldn’t continue next season

Eghbali and the Sporting directors headed for the dressing room?🤔

This team is lost. The mentality is not there... the body language, everything feels so negative to watch.

This Manager needs to go but the idiots in the board who keep buying U16s are to blame for yet another season in the conference league without a shirt sponsor.

Maresca doesn’t need to go. The recruitment should improve massively if we want to catch up with Liverpool and co. Of course no coach is perfect but he’s been okay compared to previous coaches

30 shots and 1 goal scored by Sancho while completely outplaying them. It would’ve been different if we couldn’t create at all

Cole Palmer (6), Nicolas Jackson (5) and Noni Madueke (4) had 15 shots between them against Ipswich.

They only hit the target once. 👀

“Manager needs to go”

Funny lot.

Anybody else agree with Vince here?🤷‍♂️

Players, recruitment structure are the main issues

We’ve had more than 4 managers since this ownership came on board

Same result
Draw your conclusions

We failed to beat an essentially already relegated Ipswich with their one star player chilling on the bench for 70 minutes AT HOME.

If your whole game plan is cross spamming, then stop with the inverted nonsense and play fullback where they should be playing.

Master tactician? Not even playing our best players in must win games.

Maresca Out!

People out there really trying to make excuses about the squad build. This squad is more than good enough to get a better aggregate score of 4-2 defeat to Ipswich, no matter how you want to dress it up.

The squad build has been terrible, granted, but let’s call a spade a spade.

Nicolas Jackson had a total of 5️⃣ shots off target against Ipswich, no player has had more in a PL match this season. 😬

#BottomLine

Champions League??!!... Not even that. With Aston Villa breathing on our necks, Europa in itself could be a pipe dream with the mediocre we are now.

Am still seething. A pent up frustration from several past games only magnified by yesterdays Nonsensical result.

If it gets to the Conference league again, or total lack of European football all together, this is when truth shall finally settle in.

Which top player would want to join us. Which top striker? We will continue with this cycle of pure bullshit.

Am still not "Maresca Out". for two reasons.
1. lack of better options. And even if they were there ( like when Enrique and Flick were there for free), we would still go and pay 20M to get Coach Rooney from Plymouth

2. Since we will go for "potential" coach again, we will be stuck in this cycle of restarting all through. We need stability and we need continuation.

But Maresca needs to take care of the team with the same seriousness he takes care of his bald head

And those puppet directors need to strengthen the team with serious players
