Dunno why people are hoping for a change already btw, not going to happen. Particularly bringing HBA on.

 

Shola and Sammy will come on.

Reckon we'll need another two goals to get something out of this. We don't look especially incisive going forward though credit to Vuckic, Ba and - towards the end - Obertan.

 

Bit depressing watching us slowly slide down the table like this. Ugh.

I'm fucking seething at that second goal like. For the last century, our goal kicks have been abysmal, yet we never change and go short instead. Their goal before half time came almost directly from (another) shit goal kick. Infuriating. We lose possession almost every single time.

stop talking about hba,  what good will he be if we keep lumping the ball long,  he aint going see the ball much is he?

 

keep it short., 

 

i cant help but wonder that the crowd dont help our cause, their impatience seem to make the team rush the passing, aka play it long.

 

whenever we play away, we don't get that pressure speed up our play, we take our time and keep the ball for aslong as possible .

Shola wont come on, he'll clearly play Ben Arfa after all the pressure.

 

The issue is how long he gives him, he should get a full half really atm.

would be tempted to bring on Abeid and HBA tbh, for Best and Jonas. vuckic looks dangerous when he has a bit of time but im not sure he's contributing enough further back, so push him up just behind Ba. Best's been crap, tbh, and i hate the way we look for his him aerially, it's a pointless waste most the time.

WBA the better team.

We do not manage to hold on to the ball, just long balls for Best and Ba all the time.

Need to lower the backline, get HBA in for Best, and use some PACE in our attack.

Sorry to say it, but we are just hoffing balls now, tiresome to watch. No established attacking play.

 

 

Jonas are diabolical today.

So yeah, we haven't been that great. We looked energised early on but then went flat when WBA scored.

 

When Ba's free kick went in (has to be said again that it was lovely), we started playing again. WBA's second goal was a poor to concede from our point of view, terrible marking/defending.

 

Hopefully we'll score early in the second half. If we do, then can see us ultimately winning the game.....

Santon is finding himself out of position because whenever he attacks, he's cutting back and drifting inside. Meaning when we inevitably lose possession, he's nowhere to be seen on the counter. The defensive line for the first goal was a fucking joke - all over the shop and too high.

 

Both goals have been absolutely fucking gift-wrapped.

I really like Best, but his partnership with Ba is really stale at the minute. He also gives the team an excuse to lump it forward.

 

I don't think we'd ordinarily play like this though, if we had the confidence from earlier in the season.

I don't think we'll stop them scoring again, at least once.
