joeyt Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I'm sure Ritchie was in the top 5 chances created in the league only a few weeks ago. Must be the reason he's in the team as he's dreadful defensively Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Lascelles and Ritchie both being banned for Tuesday is the best thing about today's result. They're both fucking shite, absolutely no use whatsoever, not as leaders and certainly not as footballers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we put Wilson at LB, I’m sure he’d be exposed defensively too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be the reason he's in the team as he's dreadful defensively The problem is though, he gets rinsed fucking time in and time out, costs us goals like crazy, our defense is by far the worst aspect so it makes no goddamn sense that someone getting payed to be a manager just lets him carry on, cost us a goal today, cost us a goal against brentford. I mean what does Howe see as worthwhile to stick with when most teams just target him and get free chances? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) 3 hours ago, TRon said: Ritchie can provide decent delivery when he gets into forward positions, but he's useless defensively....because he's not a defender. Krafth can defend somewhat, but he provides nothing going forward. Manquillo should be starting ahead of him. The problem is we have no one in the squad who can defend and overlap effectively. They are either good at one aspect or the other. Sorry disagree totally that Ritchie provides decent delivery mind (1 cross in about 10) and that Krafth can defend. At the end of the day both have been responsible for countless goals and should be nowhere near the team.

There weren't any. I think we'll draw with Norwich and lose to Burnley. There are definite signs of progress... But fair enough if you choose to ignore them like. Honestly I'm not too positive about them games either, need a win from both... But I don't see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal's pressing was very very good and we just couldn't get out effectively to counter often enough when we won the ball back, especially in the first half. I loved the fact they were trying to play out though. I think that mindset is ultimately going to fare us well and pay off far more effectively in the next two fixtures.

I think Howe got a lot wrong today, really disappointing performance tbh. Only positives were Almirons cameo and Dubravka Almiron was gash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, he did what he does best and advanced the ball further up the pitch which didn't happen at any point during the game prior to him coming on, thats a positive for me cos there's something to build on.

Fantail Breeze Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 ASM was dreadful. Not sure anyone had a decent game tbf. Even Dubravka should’ve done better for the second and cleared out the ball and the man. Was hesitant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he doesn't give you is end product, so never really been a fan of using him as a sub when we are behind. I think he should start and Fraser should come on if we are behind.
