We definitely look a bit energy-less in the middle. Very odd. Heat may well be playing a part Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Maxi gone too much the other way. Always looking to pass when going for himself is the better option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 The stats have us shading possession which I'm surprised at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Some people need to calm down a bit. 2nd game of the season, and drawing 0-0 away at HT to a good side. Howe will make some readjustments, so we'll see how 2nd half goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Broon Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Can we have some happy medium between the selfish running into dead-ends ASM and this pass it to no one ASM please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I think Brighton book-ended the half with the stronger performance, with us a little stronger in the middle. Couple of thoughts: - Almiron has been our best player. Had a couple of opportunities he could/should have done better with, however. - ASM is trying to do the right thing but failing every time. Hopefully with continued persistence something will come off. - Trippier has been pretty poor, noticeably sloppy with his passing. - Bruno has been very quiet and conceded possession in bad positions a couple of times. - Willock has been poor; looks very lethargic. I'm sure the heat will be playing a big role, and imagine the latter stages of the second half could see a few individual errors and wouldn't be surprised if there were a few late goals.

Miercoles Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 How do you do a special one-off kit and STILL have it clash? Watching from home between the shadow and the kits it's not easy to tell who's who, definitely think that explains a few of the more egregious missed passes. Second half will be better.

Why do our match thread always go to shit unless we are in the lead during half time by people literally soiling themselves? It is, but these are very beatable.

STM Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Notes: Bruno can't be worse, which should worry Brighton. We've gone long a little too often to me. Botman Looks nice. Burn can't help ASM going forward, perhaps Manquillo on? Elliot Anderson is my pick to make a difference from the bench Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Very tough slog, worst we’ve played for ages. Have faith in Eddie sort them out at half time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I had a dreadful view at the Forest game but you can just tell we lock a real attacking threat - especially down the wings. Add into that, if Bruno/Joe aren’t firing on all cylinders we really luck powder puff at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying we haven’t been great and attacking play pretty much non existent so far. I've seen plenty of the usual "we need 1000 new players", "everyone is shit", "usually good player is now maybe not good as we think he is", "one injury and we will be relegated to league 2".

Looking a little sluggish in midfield and we're missing Targett, all a bit lopsided. This. I would be much more concerned if we didn't come close. Better final ball this half plz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of ball retention and patience up there to bring our team up the pitch isn't helping either. I'd like Bruno on the ball in their half rather than ours if given the choice.
