Fancy a few players are fatiguing and opponents have a good plan to defend us. Subs were good as I said. Formation change worked really well. Just think we could've done more from the start and maybe we're wearing down our first choice players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Edgar Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 What do you mean? We looked sluggish for a lot of the game and hadn't scored in ages before Isak arrived. No? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 We dominated them, fully suffocated them. The team selection was spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Last season and this is proof that some people will never, ever be happy or satisfied. I understand striving for more, of course, but the numbers, results, and league position speak for themselves at the minute. In terms of expectations versus reality we’ve arguably never had it so good. There was nothing wrong with the team selection. We controlled the game despite Bruno being cooked for a good chunk of the time he was on and then having to come off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Edgar Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) I'd bet money Howe isn't happy with most of the game. I think we've gotta look at how we can do better against teams at home. Little bit flat with the ball. And could do with maybe getting Isak and ASM involved ealier. Teams seem to have a handle on our right side. And our attacking play is very asymmetrical. Perhaps it is time to look at Isak or ASM from the wide left position so that opponents can't focus solely on our right?

They were a very difficult team to breakdown and we also faced them when they were at peak levels of confidence. I do think that Trippier is looking burnt out but what do we do, we don’t have a replacement who’s anywhere near his level. I think other than that the only other selection decision going forward is when to bring Isak in for a start Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Edgar Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Don't see what the big deal is with being critical? You lot treat it like a sin You can be delighted with how things are going, belive Howe is the best manager we've had (maybe, ever) and still think that we have some improvements to make.

I think it is the repeat offending. As I said before, you have a rep for a reason. I’m fairly confident that a large percentage of the forum expects a negative comment when they see you’ve posted.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I do think we’re ready for another evolution of our game (dropping an industrious player for a more technical one) but he’s shown he’ll pretty much never change up a team that is getting results unless it’s forced. He kept us up with ease and has us 3rd doing it this way so it’s hard to ever disagree with his selections. The problem is you can look at one game and think “maxi should have started/Longstaff should be benched” but probably ignore the previous 5-10 games we’ve said the same and gotten great results.
