HaydnNUFC Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 For the Isak header, he starts making a run towards the front stick. If Trippier hits a cross in on the deck first time he has an even better chance. But Trippier waited and Isak was probably right under the ball when the cross actually came in. Can't get any power on that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it earlier, his downturn has almost exactly aligned with Trippier’s. They probably both need a rest but that’s unlikely at the moment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemtizz Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 If Spurs don't beat Fulham we're good. Not ideal but also nice reminder that we need Jude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Need to be balanced when judging the current state of play. We’ve gone off the boil for sure and it won’t have gone unnoticed by the manager.. when he says they’re waiting to review and reflect on where the squad are I think he probably is thinking of current players form as well. Like for example, I don’t think he would have started the season thinking Almiron would have played such a big part so I’m sure there’s a plan there for an alternative line up. We need to freshen things up for sure though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All straight at the keeper today. Score 1, and the we will thrive. Exactly right. That wasn’t us being found out. We had a number of clear cut chances that we didn’t capitalise on. We are just having a bit of a sticky patch in front of goal in the last few games. We will get it sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Joelinton one is a great chance for me, right infront of goal under no challenge, just put it in the far corner, he scuffs nearly every shot, yet he plays great apart from his shooting, it's crazy.

Ronson333 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Looking at the Palace forum, they appear to be very impressed by us.

tommo Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Some overreactions in here I think. 15 unbeaten, league cup semi final to come and 10 days left of the transfer window where I’m sure we’ll strengthen. Decent point today I thought all things considered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is a new challenge for us and something Howe and the lads need to work out. We need to be much more clinical and resolute, that is (almost) all mentality.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I found it a weird performance. We were ‘on top’ and had loads of possession in the stats, but we were also a bit sloppy and gave the ball away a lot. Very different mindset to be a team that is on top, and the question is how many we can score. Takes a bit of getting used to. Maybe we were trying to force it at times and we were struggled with the expectations to win. Dunno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I watched the first 20 mins and actually said to my lad, wow, we are coming into peoples back yards and playing them off the pitch. We were hitting around 30% possession not long ago. I am more than happy with our effort, fitness and performance now. Wont be long before we are doing the old Arsenal and walking the ball into the net. European spot is beyond my wildest expectations this season. I am worried I won’t be able to handle a defeat now I am so used to not losing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) I can only assume Joe’s finishing is absolutely lethal in training. If not he needs an extra 30 mins every day practicing, he hits a pass far truer than he ever shoots. We also need to work on our heading generally and particularly in the opposition box. We’re a big side and our attacking heading is woeful. We’re getting to a position where fine margins will determine our progress. We’re no longer getting as much space to hit teams on the counter and the Bruno/ Almiron/ Tripps combination is well known by now. Let’s see what we come up with. A couple of good signings could make a huge difference to our ability to change things up. If I was Eddie I’d be knocking doors down to get a couple of new faces in.

GlenMag Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 We're third in the league over the half way point with a mid table first team and a championship at best bench. Not even the most deluded of us thought we would be here at this stage of this season. Don't panic folks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
