clintdempsey Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 For once I don’t think we’ve done too badly here. First 10 mins were good, controlling them and not giving anything away. Would’ve liked a bit more urgency to our play, we’ve been quite high pressing but not with any tenacity. Everything to play for in the second half, can still get a win here IMO. Get Willock off and recharge during the break and then get out there and do them in the second half. As for the the PK, my word. Pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Thing is with the goal, regardless of whether or not he's dived, we didn't look remotely suited to playing the ball out from the back there. We've given away the ball constantly and eventually, inevitably it's cost us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxi has been shit most of his time here. Zero end product, he's the kid at school that just hogs the ball, and spits his dummy out when he loses it, which is 90% of the time. Willock is not a CM.

The Bonk Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Has Howe set us up to be a high press team with that shape? Is the problem that we can't play that way with the players we have? We started the half on the press, were doing well, then simply lumbered around the pitch until a shit dive cost us. Glad they woke up a bit after we conceded, would love to see some urgency next half as these cunts haven't done anything remarkable with all the possession they've had.

toontownman Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Willock only really works attacking in a CM 3 or playing behind the striker. He is lost like a Longstaff sat next to Shelvey with responsibility. Just looks completely out of his depth deeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Dubravka has been fairly solid Defence been largely decent and organised Midfield have worked hard and pressed well as have Joelinton and Wilson Their defence look shakey as owt And above all else that is 100% not a penalty.

KaKa Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 1 minute ago, Smal said: There is very little movement from our wide players and Joelinton to allow Shelvey to be effective to be fair. Shelvey has been okay playing his role as a deeper holding midfielder. He desperately needs someone more dynamic and influential alongside him to link up with and create more space for him. Feels like he's the only one in midfield for us. Surprised he's not suffering a lot more for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fair to say? We were OK, struggled to keep possession but I think that’s the plan. Don’t deserve to be behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how the manager set us before the game, but there was no sign of a high press beyond the first 5 mins. We've been playing Bruce formation for the majority of that half.

Willow Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Disgraceful decision on the penalty and the officials/VAR should be ashamed for allowing this bullshit.
