Lenny Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 The biggest worry is that any goal in this game will result in them mentally crumbling. A hard grafted 0-0 seems the most logical thing to hope for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Fraser presses well but that’s it. Murphy should be in his place, more direct and does something when on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in this. Ignore the haters, most of them probably aren't watching either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's completely out of sync with the rest of the back 4 like, you cannot just charge forwards into a challenge whenever you feel like it Great going forwards. Can only get better defensively so far though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Not bad first half. Their linkup approach play is better and Raphi is clearly class, but we're the team with a striker on the pitch and have worked set pieces the best. Wood got called for two non-fouls there, so maybe the ref is a homer. ASM put it in after the second of the two. Nice test of Howe here. It looks like there is a result out there if we play this right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking the same but there have been a few decent ones where there's just no one there as well. A couple from them and Fraser's to the back post should have had someone getting in there.

Lenny Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I've really bounced back and forth on my opinion of Fraser the last few weeks. At times he's looked to be showing signs of improvement, particularly with his pressing and ability to deliver a decent cross, but more often than not he just seems too one-dimensional and lacks any real explosive pace to make him an effective player given his key strength (crossing).

Chris_R Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 We just don't look like we know how to attack. Which is annoying, because Howe came in to rectify that. In our first game under him we attached really well even though we only got a draw, but since then we've looked turgid and I just cannot ever see where a goal is coming from aside from getting lucky from a moment of magic or a set penis.

That's why I think it's important to keep Willock on, he's threatening even if he's not clicked yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 the exaggerated droop shelvey assumes when he's facing someone who has the ball has always bothered me. it's like museum display of a chimp walking upright, only marginally less likely to actually win the ball. Game's kinda sucked so far as well but I had to get that off my chest. Think it's there to be won though, think we can do it. Holding out hope.

nufcnick Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 We are absolutely horrific, it’s only because Leeds haven’t been able to finish their chances that we haven’t been put to the sword, carry on like this in the second half and they will score and then we will collapse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 There's a fear everytime we lose possession, and it's quite the opposite whit Leeds, they play with no fear at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
