HWTL Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Don't think the Fraser 8 hours ago, HaydnNUFC said: The pen on Fraser. Alexander-Arnold goes through Fraser's leg before getting a touch on the ball. Not a pen for me thought it was a great tackle. Desperately need at least 5 or 6 quality players in January. Still going to be a miracle but trying to keep the faith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzaschicken Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 We have conceded 6 penalties this season and lascelles has given away 3 of them. And he nearly gave another one away last night. Says it all. Overall we never expected to win last night and the fact we were kind of still in the game after 85 minutes is a positive since we all thought it would be a cricket score I'm quite pleased nothing lost nothing gained. ASM is starting to grind on me he's not a team player. Fraser played well I thought, Joelinton a work horse but maybe kept hold of the ball for too long sometimes during pools press. Shelvey at least putting in an extra 50% and has some class just need a better cm along side him. Top of the shopping list: 2 cbs 1 fullback who can play both sides like trippier 1 Cm 1 attacking mid 1 striker That's 6 players in Jan for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it must be frustrating for him, but we need him most right now, we need fight not quitters. Also agree we need a new spine down the centre of the team, CB is useless without some steel in the middle and for Howes system to work we need the ability to move the ball right up the field but none of our lot can string 2 passes together without 30 seconds on the ball.

I will be looking at dropping 2 points to Brent Ford and the same to Norwich. Giving that pen to Southampton in the last minute and dropping 2 points then.

Lush Vlad Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) I feel more positive after last night than I did after Leicester. We didn't collapse after chucking two goals in and offered the occasional threat at the other end. The players seem to be buying into what Howe is trying to do and I fully expected us to get pumped 4 or 5-0. Yet despite them having plenty of chances and probably having a bit in reserve, if required. We've ultimately been undone by a mixture of shite refereeing, shit decisions and mistakes by our players and then an absolute shitpinger special from TAA. Also, I am not saying they are better players, or that we will always line up like last night. But the team is much more balanced with genuine width and having Murphy and Fraser playing. Murphy in particular hugs the touchline. Which isn't always ideal when the ball keeps running under his foot they are more direct, quicker and offer us more in an attacking sense than Almiron or Joelinton playing there. Plus it seems like ASM needs to be further forward in a 3. As he is just sulking and not really helping much when he plays midfield.

TRon Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 We were a lot better second half, I don't know if Howe laid into him, but Hayden who was strolling around like he was there to pick daisies seemed to show a bit more urgency after the break.

Happinesstan Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 The more I look at that 3rd goal the more it looks like a routine worked out on the training ground. There is no explanation for Dean running off in that direction, like that. He runs into a position that restricts his view of the entire pitch.
