Sunderland v Southampton Your Report added at 19:54:03
Part system error, part individual errors.
The problem with relentlessly playing the possession game is that, unless you're man city, your players will mess up at some point and give the ball away. I feel like we need some versatility in our play: any team, like Sunderland, who are half-decent on the break will tear us apart because we're so predictable.
Individual errors: Holgate was poor, but it's his first game so I can let him off. Bazunu continues to make errors... I don't see what RM sees in Manning.
Defensively we still look poor. Really hope the guy from man city is quality

And the sooner we get rid of that awful away kit the better!

Another abject performance to add to the list this season.

Forest had a few game changers. We've just got dross. Stuart Armstrong was the only one with any attacking purpose.

To be fair to AMN he was played totally out of position

Gifted them two easy goals (you'll see similar goals in Sunday league games). Nothing up front. Not a lot in midfield except Lavia.

Say what you like about Gao's regime, but it wasn't this shambolic.

Can't see Jones lasting much longer. His team selection and post-match interview were both disasters. He's been backed in a way that Ralph never was but yet we're going backwards

Not sure I agree with the negativity towards Diallo. by contrast, Alcaraz looked like he thought he was playing for the Saudis, there were that many misplaced passes. Hopefully just a bad performance as he's looked decent

As a commenter on the daily echo said:
It was Unai Emery Vs Dick Emery

I don't understand why Orsic isn't starting. It's not as if the players starting are undroppable!

We look much worse than under Ralph. NJ has had weeks to work with the squad but no-one seemed to know what they were doing. You could see the players were confused. I was willing to write off the Lincoln performance as rustiness, but today can't be excused

Palace had their best midfielder out but yet we couldn't capitalise. Cannot score. The defence is so much better this season but if our attack can only muster one goal a game at best then we're relegated

Underlines that we needed to sign an established attacking player. And also that we miss Lavia. We're still carrying a few out there

Quite predictable. 3 games in a week is a lot for some of the players, especially against a well-organised team like wolves. To be fair to Ralph, if he'd have rotated the team we'd all be complaining, so the guy can't win 😂
We really needed to buy a goal scorer in the transfer window to make it perfect. It's not as if the club didn't try, though.

Predictable set up exploited by Burnley.
The old adages don't always work: Don't change a winning combination
Always going to be tough against a team fighting for their lives, but we made it so easy

Great result in the circumstances, albeit against a toothless side. I think it's not the first time Valery has been sent off(?), and I feared for him as soon as he got the first yellow. He's a decent player, but has to start learning from errors. Diallo continues to look like a class act when called upon. Shout out to Shane Long, who I've occasionally maligned on this forum! Well done all

Result wasn't surprising given the new manager bounce. Also not surprising given the state of the midfield put out by Ralph

Ralph's problem is he is so streaky. In the good times he's great, but in the bad times he has no answer. Top managers find an answer...
Our performances in the second half of games is consistently awful, and tbf this was an issue before Ralph.

I agree with comments above. We miss KWP and Walcott, but these players missing shouldn't be such a big issue! Leeds had more injury problems tonight

Over the last few seasons it's become a recurring theme: inability to break down teams who set up defensively. Yeah we can point to the slightly odd team selection (although plenty on this site were calling for JWP to start at right back after his performance against Villa), but this kind of performance against the likes of WHU and Burnley is a historic problem. As is the defensive errors...

Naff all improvement on last year. Same issues: calamatous defence, pedestrian midfield, toothless attack, and now Ralph looks broken. The most disappointing thing is that I actually had some hopes for this season. Oh hum
