worthy Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Just now, andyman said: Our defenders shouldn't need a babysitter in goal. They need to do their jobs. They're grown up, they're being paid too much and they have a responsibility to show some respect for our fans by doing their absoute best. The problem is that fucking Clark makes it look like he is going to head it, and ofc Dubs will think he is going to head it, then he pulls out so Dubs is stranded and a goal against it is. If people cant see this, they cant have played any football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Maximin Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Our squad showing he much we overrated them under Bruce. Under Rafa and Howe it’s a ‘Championship squad’. Under Bruce some were saying it was midtable material (and it was in the end). We overachieved so it’s no surprise Bruce had his support.

SUPERTOON Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 We look worse defending now than ever before, was always the risk given how bad Howes Bournemouth side defended as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We defended like this earlier in the season under Bruce. Spurs at home was probably the worst I've seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Much of our squad as allowed a losing mentality to become ingrained - led by our captain. Needs a proper clean-out regardless of staying up or not. You could also argue there is also a lack of real professionalism at the club.

KaKa Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Just now, Klaus said: I didn't say we weren't improving in our general play. But our defence is awful and sadly it isn't improving since he arrived. It is 0-3 at the point of me typing this, and will probably be more before the final whistle. I think with the way the team is going to be playing now the defence was always going to suffer more against the better teams especially. They have become lazy and ineffective, as they have grown used to sitting deep and having the whole team camped out in the box with them to defend against teams. I think Howe has just about figured out the midfield now, which is going to help things a lot. Once we start facing the teams in and around mid to lower table we'll really begin to see a lot better performances and results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I mean is, The keeper isnt calling out for the ball due to Clark showing that he is going to put it out and he doesnt want to go in to a duel with Clark which makes sense. Now should he have called it? Maybe, but if he doesnt you as a defender play the ball out. But what we get here is a fucking pub league defender T-ing up to head it, then he bottles it and decides not to for some fucking reason and then Dubs has to react to his defender not doing a bog standard fucking job and there we have it, goal against.

Two games against comfortably the best two teams in England and we haven't been overwhelmed. Some horrible defending and outrageous ref cheating has made it look worse than it could have been.
