Think that's harsh. Thought we were better side and deserved our goals. We have messed up under pressure and let West Ham have a go a few times. The Botman slide was a great answer to their big moment, but we handed them another which they converted annoyingly. Think we have players on the pitch and on the bench to kill this game off.

Pleased it's half time as Eddie needs to sort them out here as if we continue to play like we are, we're not winning this. Yeah I noticed that as well. Some genuine swagger from Bruno and Maxi early on, but some players did look like a level below on the ball. Murphy for me started playing too safely, even Joelinton had a couple of poor touches, but he was good mostly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks absolutely dead on his feet after he was amazing on Sunday. Probably helped that he was up against Antony. Who seems allergic to going past defenders and just wants to do tricks. Bowen causes better players and actual full backs plenty of problems. His directness is killing Burn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's getting roasted this match, and keeping him on past half time could cost us. I think Howe is too loyal to 'haul him off' though, but it's what we need. A few times a ball to him just bounced past him and went out for a throw in as well. It’s crazy how much protection he gets from Howe when targets ready Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Weird half because I'm annoyed we're only 2-1 up, but absent a 10-15 minute stretch we were pretty terrible and could easily be losing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 The performance after the second goal went in is as bad as I've seen us play this season. If I was Howe I'd be furious as we've let them back in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Going to be a fascinating 2nd half like and very dependant on the change we make/don't make. I think Gordon for Murphy and Targett for Burn would be my changes by 60ish minutes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Whether Botman lost Zouma is almost irrelevant, your goalkeeper should be winning that over Zouma with his head. Pope let Antonio "pin him down". It's a mistake from the goalkeeper that costs us the goal, players can lose their man all the time on set pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Our shape in build up has been wrong as well by the way. Not enough options when we have it at the back and has resulted in lots of hoofs/passes to Dan Burn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Bit of a departure from first halves we've seen lately that. Felt a bit disjointed without being abject or owt but we've only created two chances and taken the pair rather than loads of class play and missed opportunities. Feels made to measure for Gordon second half this does. I'd have him on by the hour and hopefully can get a third and kill it off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 We're missing Willocks transitional play and Isaks build up play massively and Gordon will make a difference driving up and down that right hand side. Big Joe, Bruno and ASM the stand outs at the moment. Trippier having a quiet game as it stands, Burn, nothing needs to be said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
