joeyt Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 What was the verdict on Gomez's challenge on Atsu? Looked pretty high on first viewing, thought he could have had a yellow card a few moments earlier too when he pulled back Atsu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked pretty high on first viewing, thought he could have had a yellow card a few moments earlier too when he pulled back Atsu Should have had a yellow earlier, aye. Shame that Atsu was so honest, as a free kick would have been more dangerous. He was really poor today. The actual challenge he got booked for wasn't that bad. Seemed harsh, if anything and the crowd made it seem much worse than it was. Yedlin MOTM, for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixx Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Feels great to have a couple of midfielders who are both good passers yet capable defensively. I'd like to see them start together next game as well and hopefully form a bit of a partnership. Imagine having in front of them a player who can make runs or able to shoot or cross.

Dave Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Yeah I thought Atsu was pretty rubbish throughout the game again. Worked fairly hard off the ball but attacking wise he was poor. Struggling to beat a full back recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Despite what commentators say about him. He just isn't particularly fast. Makes the odd good run and when he is direct, he is dangerous. But he rarely looks like he'll beat his man for pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked pretty high on first viewing, thought he could have had a yellow card a few moments earlier too when he pulled back Atsu Not much to it, his foot was high but his studs weren't showing at all. It was a little different from the other two (and the Huddersfield one), yellow was probably about right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 He had Gomez beaten for pace when Perez put him through. Should have took the free kick rather than trying to stumble on though. - In regards to do the Atsu discussion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Thought most were fine, the only players who were poor again were Atsu and Perez. I think Aarons should be in contention ahead of Atsu now considering the competition for that place. Perez is a shoo in purely because there's no one else who'll do the dirty work he does. Perez worked his stots off and relieved pressure on us a couple of times by cleverly drawing fouls off down the right flank. I don't rate Atsu at all. I thought Lascelles had a poor first half and it was his sliced clearance under no pressure that led to Coutinho's goal, but was outstanding in the 2nd.

Hanshithispantz Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Not sure why Ritchie's getting such high praise to be honest. This is me most weeks tbh, i don't like him as much as most seem to quite obviously. From an attacking sense he's been near useless the past couple of weeks like. I don't think he was bad today, he defended well, but I agree with others Yedlin was our best player. Shelvey put in a better performance too for me. EDIT: 'Near useless' is harsh like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 In his defence like he pulled onto his left a few times but there wasn't any great options in the box. I thought that ball across the 6 yard box with his right wasn't really recognised either. Someone should have made a run to the near post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Is it just me or was elliot playing in slow motion for coutinho's shot? Thought he could have do e better. He rescued his neck through a few good saves later on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie_once_removed Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 For me the most exciting aspect of the game was seeing Shelvey and Merino playing together. There is so much potential in that partnership. Merino is good at quietly breaking up play but can also pick a pass. This means teams can't just sit on Shelvey and stifle our midfield creativity, they have to close Merino down too. This allows Shelvey more time to do what he does best and pick out the killer ball, his assist for the goal was a great example of this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rescued his neck through a few good saves later on. I'm a bit confused by the continued Elliot criticisms. He has obvious weaknesses, kicked distribution, but he's in good form and making key saves each game that go largely unremarked on by the majority in this board.

Lush Vlad Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Is it really that? Or is it because he is a Championship standard player, that isn't particularly good at any one thing? Like a fair few of our players, TBF. He gets beat by long shots a lot and tends to be slow to get down. I thought he was decent today overall and it is being overly harsh blaming him for the goal. But I do think a prem quality keeper saves it. For all that it was a sweet strike. It isn't right in the corner and it is right near him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
