PlymouthGeordie Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 For me, that performance was better than any of the 3 wins. We controlled the first half and should've been ahead. We tired a bit towards the end but still looked so solid against a good team whilst missing key players. If Targett or Krafth put in some better deliveries we'd have won.

STM Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Dubravka 6 Barely had anything to do Krafth 6 Decent but silly free kick Schar 7 Cool Burn 7 Calm and composed Targett 8 Marked Bowen out of the game Fraser 7 Tireless again Willock 9 Absolute class Shelvey 7 Was decent Joelinton 7 Bossed the middle as per Murphy 7 Actually thought he was good Wood 5 Faded badly in the second half Howe 9 Game management superb again.

Miercoles Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I only watched the second half (4:30am kickoff over here) but I loved what I saw. Joelinton was absolutely everywhere, Burn and Schar are just classy at the back, and most of all it was so great to see us pushing for a winner in the last ten minutes instead of bunkering down to try to hold onto the 1-1. If we had, like, any of our forwards playing we might have won this, but I will take a draw no questions asked. Also fucking amazed nobody got red carded, there were some wild tackles going in there, the one where Fraser injured himself in particular, but also Burn after the ball went out of play good lord.

BlazeT44 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) I completely appreciate that people want to say that our recent performances are down to key players like Trippier who have raised the bar. Yes, he's undeniably class, but for me it says a lot more about Howe and the coaching staff. He's had a few weeks to drill them in terms of shape, positioning and tactics. 10 points in 12 and results when playing players who should be nowhere near the first team, IMO. He's taking us in the right direction and the players are buying in. Edited February 19, 2022 by BlazeT44 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Willock on Eddie Howe: “He is a fantastic manager and not only that but also a fantastic person. I am so happy he is here. I have a close relationship with him and we all trust him.” Great to hear it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Willock is undroppable at the moment. Sucks for Bruno but keeping the 3 that's there starting makes sense. Love Willocks comments on Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Feel really sorry for Bruno as he must've joined expecting to go straight in (and fair enough given how we were looking going into the window), but the 3 J's haven't put a foot wrong - Howe is totally justified in sticking with it for now.

Kid Icarus Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 FWIW I thought the free kick Krafth gave away to Antonio was hardly any different from the challenge on Fraser a moment before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Cant fault any of them. We know Krafth and Murphy are limited and out of their depth but gave what they had. Willcoks back and Fraser has been made useful. Were just names before. Top work Eddie and team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
