Minhosa Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Deliveries so bad today he could’ve got a job for Evri. Rare one in fairness but utter shite today. Got done by their little winger in the first half too. All in all, one to forget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 What's this bullshit online about him being suspended? I thought that was his 4th yellow. Or have I missed something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 A lot of his set pieces/crosses in the 2nd half were poor, felt like they were all going straight to Meslier However despite all that his deliveries create 4 decent chances/opportunities that I can think of (2 for Wood, 1 for Burn and 1 for Schar). On another day a couple of those are taken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been taken off set pieces after the hour mark though, fucking awful from him today on them. 1 hour ago, Sima said: Had an absolute shitter. It happens though and he’ll get over it. 1 hour ago, Klaus said: Aye, floated everything straight at Meslier. Shit today but so we're a few others 47 minutes ago, Newcastle Fan said: Poor game from him today, but it goes a long way to show how far we've come when his poor game is a game we dominated and kept a clean sheet in. 34 minutes ago, Minhosa said: Deliveries so bad today he could’ve got a job for Evri. Rare one in fairness but utter shite today. Got done by their little winger in the first half too. All in all, one to forget. Statistically he was actually our best player on the pitch. Of the 7 “big chances” we created, he had 4 of them. He also had more of the ball (102 touches) compared to Bruno (77 touches) who was just behind Tripps and created nothing offensively. Said this in the game thread, but Meslier is a very active keeper with 4 high claims, 1 successful run out and punch clearance. What should have been addressed was his ability to get to those dead ball situations by targeting our bigger players on the edge of the box. That or blocking off Meslier getting to the ball to claim it. Obviously hindsight is a wonderful thing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Didn't pass the eye test for me today. Stats feel misleading. For his very high standards, his delivery was below par. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christ Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Law of averages stuff really. He had so many dead balls to deliver some of them were going to be arse. If we win I doubt anyone notices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For his very high standards, his delivery was below par. I was literally about to post the same comment. Failed the eye test at the stadium where he hasn’t before. The stats will always be weighted in his favour in an attacking sense because our whole system is designed around him getting forwards and he takes every attacking set piece, so will always be the source of chances but today he’ll be very unhappy with his performance. He even gestured to the fans, with his hand up apologetically, mid way through the second half after another dogshit cross. Not sure that’s a measured stat in your list though?

nufcjb Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I was hoping he would have quickly realised that the Leeds keeper was one who liked to come out and catch the crosses but so often, Tripps' balls were sent too near to the keeper or were hanging balls. Would have been better if some of our set play were played short in some instances as the long ball deliveries weren't working. Hope he'll have a banger against Arsenal. Free kick goal again would be nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Yeah, our corners are often creative. But our free kick routines leave a lot to be desired. We take an age to set them up, we are often offside and there isn’t much variation. I’m sure it is something we will improve on over this season and beyond.

David Edgar Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 XG is mega limited. There are loads of XG models and they all give varying results. As one example. And even then that can be flawed. XG is fine as a general idea of how a game went, but eye test will always be king. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 We had more than enough half chances on the end of his deliveries today. There was a lot of them and many weren't great and that would be the case even if one of the chances had gone in, but had one of the chances gone in, he'd have more than done his job too.

Superior Acuña Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 My impression was he was heavily involved but was highly wasteful with that. I love him but definitely thought he had a disappointing game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
