Is the fear of loosing our PL status,ruining us.
When we first arrived in the PL, we seemed to play without fear, we put the sh!ts up most teams,now we are there for the taking.
Genuine question for discussion. |  | | |  |

Simply, yes.
Since Laudrup, the club have appointed cautious manager after cautious manager, and the majority of players signed have been with the intention of playing a 'safe' game.
Whilst I'm not arguing that Laudrup had to go, the board seem to have been burnt by the experience, hence the desire to sell up and the feeling that we are just 'plodding along'. |  |

It's all football, defensive or attacking.
With our squad pace is limited, not to mention our ageing bench, PC has a problem, hoofball has become the norm.
Roll on the January transfer window, or it's relegation I fear. |  | | |

it's in Clems DNA, i can't see a change even if we're in the relegation zone ,he might have a slight change of heart when we become mathematically safe | |

We've become a team of plodding footballers, as we sell our more skillful players, we replace with mediocrity.
As for our recruitment team...... if you send Monkeys shopping you shouldn't be surprised if they come back with a bunch of Bananas. |  |

Yes, absolutely.
We are scared of losing possession or being caught out of position. Yesterday wasn't a great example, but he has made us a lot better organised and harder to break down. He needs to figure out a way of maintaining that and adding a bit of verve to our attack.
He may be able to do it, but my personal opinion is that if we are to start playing the football our attacking players are capable of, we need to accept getting caught out every now and then. | | | |

To answer the OP we simply haven't got the players to play good football. Laudrups teams were the last to really entertain at the liberty. Jenkins has a lot to answer for and worse is to come when we eventually get relegated, be it this season or the next. |  |

This, plus the inability to provide that killer pass to our boys at the front.
It's either under instruction or frozen with fear,it's so frustrating.How long will it take for the players to disagree with PC and down tools. | | | |

A strong attack can also be a good defense. Forces the opponent to keep players at home.
Swansea the last 3 years has seem to forgotten this. |  | | |

And for most of the second half on Saturday we pressured them a lot higher up the pitch and forced them into mistakes and rushed clearances, didn’t give them the time on the ball they had in the first half to play through us. |  | | |
