All this negativity and they're only level cos of poor marking on a set piece.  Not like they're tearing us apart. 

 

True it's basically 0-0, just painful to watch in forward areas.

The squad doesn't have another player to play that deepest role without Bruno. We knew that and it's hurting us as the midfield is all players with energy who want to drive forward. It's allowed West Ham and Rice in particylar to exercise control on the game.

The red to Bruno is only highlighting how important he is to us and the lack of quality in CM we have and chose not to address last month. It's not awful and it's just about coping with West Ham but we look half the team without him.

A bit flat for a lot of that half. Looks like we are struggling to get to grips with their formation. 1-0 should have been perfect for us. As they had to push on. But we didn’t really look threatening on the counter. 
 

Been a bit better since the goal and they have also reverted back to sitting in. 
 

Midfield looks a bit weak at times. Willock is allergic to headers.

Team needed freshening up window just gone, aside from Bruno G the rest aren’t brilliant passers. I can’t believe on loan with a significant loan fee there wasn’t a midfielder sat on some CL clubs bench that wouldn’t have joined us.

Midfield has been porous to say the least. It’ll be a big regret not signing a midfielder who could at least play competently there
