Start one if you want as I don't do it for friendlies, that would be close to the record for lowest average though

I would but I don’t know how 

[Grebfromgrebland]

To be fair a lot of fans did say that they'd prefer to stop playing the possession game and lose rather than play possession football and win.  Which I always found bizarre.

Please don't tell me Cooper is on a 3 year contract

[foxy tiler]

Just out with family and decided to see how we did......these comments fill me with dread 😳🙈

I’m struggling to see a positive here

you can see why none of our managers trust Cannon he has the touch of a donkey and offers nothing in the build up play, I do not think he completed one pass.

That description still makes him an improvement on Patson 

[Saxondale]

I’m usually firmly in the ‘calm down’ camp, but even I’ll admit that was utter crap. Outplayed in every position. Conceded three goals but - perhaps even more concerningly - look like we’d never score in a million years.

Pipes ripping into them.!

Daka is 10x times the player Cannon is and Daka is crap.

Yeah I’m usually optimistic, but I just don’t see anything to be positive about at all

There’s been no evidence in the past two years that backs that up. Daka plays like a competition winner who hasn’t ever played football before.

I’m just glad that the shirt I ordered from DHGate hasn’t arrived yet. 

[Lichfieldfox.]

At least we haven't got Jonny Evans on penalties. Just lifted it over the bar to gift the community sheild to Man City 7-6

In the first half

This was always going to be a tough season but, we are we look so poorly prepared.
 

All we can we hope is we can bring in 2/3 first team starters and hope they click.

[ARTY_FOX]

Hes supposed to have impressed in the interview, was it a magic trick because it cant be football related.

Watching this whilst having the Mancs game on in the background and looking up to see Van Nistelrooy next to Ten Haag and just thinking "... yeah, maybe should have risked it..."

the fact that Cooper would rather play Mavididi out of position than bring Cannon on backs that up.

You have to get into the oppositions box to get penalties, so it's not all that relevant.

I bought into Cooper as I couldn't see how Enzoball would succeed in the Premier League. Thought Cooper was pragmatic and would find a way to make us competitive. However, after watching that excuse for a performance I cant see anything but relegation. We've turned into Pounshop Enzo. Either the players are talking Cooper into hanging onto Poundshop Pep's tippy tappy stuff or the Club are insisting on this approach because any Manager with half a brain would drop this shite of playing at the back like a stone.

Cooper unfortunately would also rather play Mavididi out of position than Mavididi in position. I don’t think anything Cooper does at the moment should be used to justify a point. He’s currently making bizarre anti-football decisions all over the pitch.

I bet Lens are disappointed after this. I'm sure they would have preferred a more competitive match to prepare them for the coming season.

I bet they're disappointed that didn't get more against that shower
