Culpability for their goal, that type of thing, but he was always going off as our shape and play needed adjustments.

I can’t lie…wish it was Longstaff. Miley looked good apart from that one moment defending a corner. Totally expected from a 17 year old

Almost a week off? They played on Tuesday and Saturday ffs.

 

 

 

So, pretty much 4 days off. A slight exaggeration on my part, but still enough time to recover and put in a performance better than that. Some people are giving these players and the manager a very easy ride.

I think he made the tactical when he did because of that whole only allowed so many sub windows etc. He's mentioned it before. 

Exactly my thinking, he would have changed at half time if not for Lascelles having to come off

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday is 3 days pal. That's less than half a week. 

[WideopenMag]

Still think we'll win though 

[Yorkie]

When was the fatigue excuse allowable? Is it somehow less valid now we've played even more games? 

 

Put Murphy and Willock back in the squad and have the others playing at more than 60% and everything's a different story.

[Theregulars]

Well this is just as poor!

[Pancrate1892]

Do they drop any training sessions when they have a run of games like this? 

 

Fuck it, I'd just let them sit on the couch for 4 days 

[TRon]

Trippier has been very subdued today, I think his confidence is dented pretty bad.

Just dont see how its building confidence being taken off after making a mistake.

[buzz]

Bumming has restarted unabated

[Theregulars]

Struggling to defend this.

[Smal]

Trips has just been getting done on his outside over and over. What's up with him, man.

[Ste]

Willocks the one for me like. I think the strikers especially will be desperate for him to be back up and running.

Think someone said "you don't get tired when you are winning games" or else I've just made that up.

 

It's true though, we need a win to give everyone a lift and that bit of extra energy. Preferably with Isak scoring the winner.

[SUPERTOON]

We couldn’t argue if we where 4-0 down here.

I hope so. Feels to me when we get stuck in this sort of rhythm we can never do a 'Liverpool' and find a way to win.

[KetsbaiaIsBald]

And we’re even worse.

Jacob Brown having his way with Trippier

Because its not only fatigue?

This is a 3-0 defeat I'm afraid. Fuck being blindly optimistic, we have massive problems at the minute which are not going away until we start getting a week or 2 off + all our players back 

[Mike]

Not Miggy too.

Third game in eight days is fucking miles away from resting almost a week.  

[worthy]

This is almost criminal, yet again failing basics

[hakka]

So is that third time woodwork hit? We should be dead and buried man.
