I did have a chuckle at the idiots at last weeks game giving the bronx cheers when Maria came off.

Forgetting that he is playing there because Kitto had been given a chance and had proven far more hopeless earlier int he season and had made far more mistakes.

Some idiots just have no idea.

Maria not great defensively and in poor form absolutely. But happy about him being replaced at left back by Ryan Kitto? fu** me.
Precisely.

Our defensive depth is poor, but why not try a youth teamer. You know what Kitto will deliver.

Could be 7 losses in a row at this rate (provided the season goes on), absolute TRASH.
And yet we are still good enough to be in the 6 if we nick a point.

How bad is the league.

verbeek can complain and blame all he wants, he has done absolutely nothing structurally to change how we're conceding. and then says he isnt surprised. well maybe do something about it? it's worrying that he not only doesn't seem to have any answers, but he doesn't look interested in finding them

We are genuinely inept.

First season in HAL neither Victory nor United will make the 6

I hated Kurz and his style, but we fought.

The Dutch have history of imploding.

it's the giving up which is just bizarre. had chances to go 2nd. now dont look like being able to stop opposition teams doing what they want to us at home.

Even early in the year when we lost we looked like scoring every time we went forward.

Now we don't even do that.

fortunate to only concede 3. not a single player won their position. just like last week the midfield might as well not have been out there. defence awful but in the slightest of fairness, they get nothing from midfield defensively

Amazing how 6 or so games ago we were battling for a top 4 spot, now we're trying not to finish bottom 4 by the end of the season.
