Maybe a bit disciplinary on Eddie's end for the ball watching mistake It seems like he was hauled off because he let his man go on the set piece. Not sure I agree with it because he looked like one of the few players who wasn't getting rushed out of his stride. Longstaff looked far less confident, I would have took him off.

Pancrate1892 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 We should just offer 3 points to the cunts without playing every 1 in 2 games. No injuries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KetsbaiaIsBald Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Some urgency and early goal and we'll still win this. But that was fucking depressing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Livramento may need to come in for Burn here. He's such a step up now that we have experienced both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 We look very flat - no intensity at all which was our biggest strength Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bonk Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Just now, Ronaldo said: What in the fuck was that? We look a different side with Isak on, thankfully. Just playing with no intensity or ability on the ball. It’s outrageous how shit we are again and again away from home. This is what I don’t understand, I thought it was “our identity”. We look so weak on the ball and passive in forward play. Defensively we look even worse away from home, when we’ve been so solid under Howe previously.

WideopenMag Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Essentially we have one way of playing, pressing with intensity. Once we can't do that we are predictable and easy to play against. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cone is a step up from Burn on LB. We need to get a real LB so Tino can play RB instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I think at least 80% of just how bad we are looking at the moment is due to unavoidable fatigue, honestly. Just looking back over our fixture schedule with zero to little rotation confirms that beyond any doubt, really. Thankfully the fixture congestion will be over soon, at least Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KetsbaiaIsBald Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) Miley's midfield defensive positioning has been poor last couple games. The game just goes round him so easily. On the ball he's good but I don't think he really knows where he should be yet defensively. I can see why he was taken off.

Paulinho Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I do think people are underrating the inevitable impact of our squad (or what’s left of it) have essentially more miles in their legs than any other team in Europe, by some margins.

Pretty sure Howe chose him as he hasn't used him in a midfield two yet. Miley has been better than Longstaff but I can understand him protecting Miley a bit here.

Holmesy Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 There is no excuse for that. People can continue to pedal the tiredness thing, but it does wash now. They’ve had almost a full week off and half of them look like they’re hungover. It’s fucking tragic to watch. One shot in 45 minutes against a championship side ffs!

Vaj Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Watching us away from home is so draining. I have no belief that we can get anything here and it needs to be sorted out. Not good enough! Only glimmer of hope is Isak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubteam Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 We need someone in the middle who can put their foot on the ball and direct play, someone who isn't bullied by the opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upthemags Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Thought Burn was fine surprised some think he's been the problem - there's just no attacking creativity with these. Can speculate as to why we aren't, but we should be breaking down a Luton midfield/defense with relative ease. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need players 100% charged to play with intensity. If we don't have that charge then we are left chasing shadows with no fall back plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
