The ones you mentioned as excellent, very good, he had the least touches, least passes, least ground duels of all our midfielders. Same against Brighton and today. I don't know, maybe I'm harsh, but I do agree with Kaka (and others). A talented midfielder who doesn't get himself into the game and sees the game pass him by consistently. Maybe it's the formation that doesn't suit him, but Sean Longstaff who is a very limited footballer is doing better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re taking in draws we’d used to be losing, and we’ve been on the end of key injuries and key ref decisions that have literally taken points off the board for us. We created clear cut chances to win this game and between lack of luck, great goalkeeping, and inability to finish those few chances we didn’t comfortably win. I am chilled as I’ve ever been, this is a process and we continue to build, even if a game like today can leave us annoyed at 2 points dropped - trust the club to learn and grow at every opportunity. The last two games coming in such close proximity have been so incredibly annoying ... but you're right. West Ham next though, God help us all when Bruno, ASM and Wilson miss out again, and Paqueta runs the show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maze Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 6 minutes ago, KaKa said: Good question. I think it was off the striker? I do remember him saying Bruce told him to just try to get in the box and be a goal threat, which he was excellent at. Maybe that's just the kind of player he is then. Late runs into the box and not much general play? 5 minutes ago, Jaqen said: Pretty much a 10 with no responsibility or instructions. Sure he said that himself. Bruce told him to just do what he wanted up there. He's not been very good the last couple of matches, so pushing him further up the pitch might help him recover some form? Might pose a bigger threat than subbing Wood/Murphy in from the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually quite impressed with us. Didn't expect to play like this, this past week. At full strength I saw us having around 8 points by now at best. The fact we've got 7 and were robbed by 2 potentially 3 is impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I'm in the pro-Willock camp.... just. I totally understand why people get frustrated with him, sometimes he seems to go missing, sometimes he runs down blind alleys but I think his overall contribution gets him by. He presses the ball well, carrys the ball forward well and gets into the box all the time. The issue is that his game is entirely dependent on end product. You can deal with him going missing when he's popping up with goals every now and then but right now, when the side needs him, he's fluffing his lines. What I will say, is that there are some senior players who aren't exactly putting in numbers either, Almiron, Fraser, Wood need to step up to the plate. Good thing for us is that Willock is a good alrounder, who will fetch a decent fee when we want to sell. Which we will if he doesn't get back on the score sheet.

The Prophet Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 The game wasn't too dissimilar to match up here last season. Both teams had decent spells, but I'd say between the disallowed goal and Isak's miss, we probably should have taken the points. It wasn't the greatest performance, but we were always going to have to dig in after the same eleven put in a massive shift at Anfield on Wednesday. You always want to win your home games, but we didn't lose, minus our two most creative players. It was neither good nor a disaster really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not perfect but he's not as bad as people are making out. He’s worse than people have been making out.Go back a week or so and you’ll see some on here wanting him to be given a chance in other positions ,as if he’s going to come good.We’re struggling because we’re basically carrying him.Did you see more from Anderson in the few minutes he was on the pitch than Willock has produced this season?

Vieira said: "After looking at the images after the game, I thought that was the right decision from the referee. "Was there a push? No, not at all. I think if there is not a Newcastle player then our goalkeeper will get the ball. That contact of course had a massive impact on the goal. That’s why I believed it was the right decision from the referee." I mean I feel like that with most situations and goals we concede. If there isn't an opposition player there I'm pretty confident Pope will get the ball. If ever you needed evidence someone spent a large portion of their career under the tutelage of Arsene Wenger.
