Memphis Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 We do look a side in need of freshening up. Gordon is non-existent in his role. Joelinton is having one of those games, but we cannot afford that. Not too dissimilar from a Bruce team, which should never be the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 1 minute ago, Deuce said: God I hope Tonali hasn’t forgotten how to be a footballer over the last year I'm really hoping he slots right in, like. Longstaff is a tough watch at the moment. Plays with absolutely no belief and kills any momentum we might have going forward by taking an age to do anything.

CPL Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 Actually think Miggy would be effective coming on. We don't seem to be keeping the ball well in the final third and the killer balls have been poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bonk Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 Has to be one our top 5 worst first half performances under Eddie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubteam Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 Just now, Holloway said: Eddie has frequently bemoaned our inability to keep possession, but there hasn't been any significant improvement bar a few flashes. Why ? We have a number of players that aren't good on the ball and breakdown our play repeatedly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 1 minute ago, KaKa said: But when you say we're better off playing either Barnes or Gordon there, you have some clown talking about different position nonce brigade. Perfect. We'll keep watching this instead. Aye, time to try playing our best three attacking players all at once and have Gordon and Barnes switching wings if neither is having any luck on their side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 Just now, Likelylad said: When your Bruno's, Isak's and Gordon's aren't playing. You really notice how many bang average players we have. It's actually quite worrying tbh A week away from September and Jacob Murphy still starting for us with nearly everyone fit and available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUICE690 Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 Bang average side when we're still fielding Longstaff, Murphy, Krafth. Not sure what's up with Gordan, seems way off the pace and without him we have zero outlet. Thought we were too reliant on him last season, so when he's not firing on 'any' cylinders we're bereft of attack down the wings. Should be 0-0 though. Hate gifted goals like that.

Smal Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 We started well the first twenty minutes. We’re just always going to struggle to grab hold of games with our lack of control and technical ability. The PL is full of good teams and managers now, and they’ve been recruiting better than us recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregon_Geordie Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 Critical season (and window) this. No Top 4 and it's back to the drawing board. We must limit the use of Longstaff and Murphy. Also think we really miss Wilock right now. We are so disconnected front to back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyBartoon Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 That was shocking, 2nd to everything and looking like a team who are just finishing the season. The lack of movement is actually frightening, no desire or urgency ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 We’re horrendously good at giving away possession time and time again in every damn way possible. Not sure how we have spent so much money and still struggle in this regard as often as we do. Today has been on a much worse level even. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 Just now, Theregulars said: Not sure why Kelly needs to play or what he’s adding. Longstaff doesn’t believe in himself. We don’t have a discernible strategy on the basis of 1.5 games. Lacking in effort, ideas and basic professionalism. This is why people are predicting us mid table. I think one of the reasons kelly is playing is because senesi rinsed hall last season and last week hall was poor tbf.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to pre-season places that are for money over fitness. On top of that our best players going to the Euro’s and Copa America and only coming back a few weeks ago.
