The only part about our performance which really frustrated me was the set pieces. So many opportunities with the ball being swung into the box and for some reason we never once looked like converting

This stood out for me as well. It was like we'd gone back to floated set penis to Williamson at times, just as frustrating. Something we really need to work on, and give an extra dimension to our play.

We seem to have a real issue with being able to comfortably strike a ball in the final 3rd without Wilson in the team. All our attacks seemed to come from wing play aiming for Woods pillow heed.  Clearly missing those incisive passes from Bruno down the middle. 

 

Granted I only watched the 1st half as it was on late for a Sunday night in Australia...

 

Almiron's lack of a left foot has already been discussed and infinitum. 

 

Willock is just poor. 

 

Goal aside, ASM can only seem to cut inside and fluff half strength shots from the edge of the box. 

 

Joelinton has a piss poor shot. 

 

Wood essentially does not possess a set of legs. 

 

Not really sure the point in making but it was just some observations I gathered.

They were so bad. Couldn’t be watching those cheating cunts every week. Some quality players. Yet they had a similar style to Stoke second half. Mixed in with some proper continental diving and fake injuries. 
 

Would have taken a point when the fixtures came out. Even more so when we had 2 of our 3 best attacking players missing. All that said. I felt like we could have won. They were dreadful and we were decent, all things considered.

Being down the side of the pitch doesn't help I don't think like

Mind the amount of people stood filming the game for their own "channels" can't help things either

Not sure it's been discussed but Neves seems a bit of a whoppa like [emoji38]

 

"It's the Premier League, every game is like that. Their style of play is like that, just long balls and second balls. They're not a team that wants to have possession too much.

"We knew that and we prepared really well for that. Then at the end, it's details. Maybe a detail when [Pedro] Neto almost broke his leg and the ref didn't run to the screen.

"That's one detail, and another detail is we scored a second goal and the ref went to the screen. Another detail. A lot of meetings before the season starts, but then you see our player almost broke his leg on that tackle and the ref doesn't go to the screen.

"We ask why we had so many meetings, because everyone saw on the TV. I already watched the images, and it's unbelievable. He almost broke his leg, his foot is on the floor and the tackle is on his shin.

"Really, really dangerous, and they keep playing with 11 men until the end. That's one of the details that killed us at the end."

Ridiculous comments. Like a teenager. But then again, last time they won a league game was 2nd of April, so they are bound to be in bit of a meltdown.

What this game showed was the huge gap in quality players to bring on from the bench. Calum and bruno are irreplaceable and it showed. Any other attacking position is covered by equal or lower pedigree.

I hope we keep buying a few players every window from noe in in to eternity... We might have a squad like citeh in five years time....

Still, to dig out a point when basically your two best players are out is a good show of the fighting spirit we have within the team.

He's not going to last much longer. He's blaming the ref, our so-called long ball game and our dirty defending, when his team didn't play with enough spirit to match the talent at their disposal. He needs to put his own house in order.

That's not their manager's quotes.

Are you confusing Neves with Their manager?

Looking back on this game, again I thought we were, in general, very good. We’d have been hammered under Bruce by this lot and would have barely touched the ball last season even under Howe.

A good point in the circumstances and we probably should've nicked a win tbh.
Still think there was something a bit off with the tempo and quality of our attacking play but that’s understandable missing the players we did. It would be awesome to get a couple of players in this week (a midfielder and a winger) to lighten the burden on some of our key players. If we do we’ve got a real chance at upsetting quite a few of the supposed big boys come May and handle upcoming injuries.

I was surprised how little these lot offered. They played like they were far away team. 

I was shocked at how badly they kept possession, having Moutinho, Neves and Nunes in the middle should give them control over most games. Can’t see their manager lasting the season.

Aye, the plan they had was to sit deep and counter quickly down the flanks. I mean it makes sense it’s a logical system but it seems more well suited to playing away than playing at home.

There was one safe standing section in the home end that all seemed to be sitting down, arms draped over the barriers. What’s the fucking point? :lol:
