Stifler Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 7 minutes ago, The Butcher said: Mental that we've not signed a RW. No two ways about it. Should have been the first signing we made. Sick of Guehi talk. At least we have options at CB when players come back from injury. We have fucking nowt on the RW, might as well have Monty the Magpie playing there.

STM Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Just now, gbandit said: Such an uninspiring half of football. Isak was our only good player there, followed by Bruno, Tino and Pope. Everyone else was somewhere between poor and very poor. Joelinton won’t have a worse half all season, Murphy probably will and Longstaff will as well. Don’t know what’s up with Gordon but it’s concerning Bruno was awful by his standards like. Fine on the ball but absolutely nowhere near the physical levels required. Gordon isn't a striker like. Absolutely pointless having him there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Eddie has frequently bemoaned our inability to keep possession, but there hasn't been any significant improvement bar a few flashes. Why ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likelylad Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Any idea what those tactics were anyone? Kick it forward when possible, to no one in particular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 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.

Mattoon Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 No one comes out of that half looking good tbf, need to wake up, we don't look like the team we can be, weak and feeble on and off the ball, passing is horrific, making the wrong choices, second to every ball. We'll never win anything if we can't start performing away from home. Hard to see us get anything from this if we keep just going through the motions. Anger inducing performance.

Tiresias Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Looks like we need another month pre season, we're just not fit and running yet. We'll get there but disappointing to be in this position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Just now, midds said: Canny concerning that we're so far away from the levels required so early in the season. And I'm talking physically and technically here - we're miles away, slow and weak in possession, no zip to any of the players, no pressing as a unit, nothing. We look absolutely fucked. Plausible that a trip to Australia, a trip to Germany and a trip to Japan hasn't made for the most appropriate off-season? Or am I searching for excuses?

thomas Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 It's long overdue to call time on the Eddie Howe experiment. Some of us have been saying it for a while but there will be no more clear display than that half of football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 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 Share Posted August 25 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 Share Posted August 25 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...

Unbelievable Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 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...

JUICE690 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 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 Share Posted August 25 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...
JB Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Played most of that half like the players walked to Bournemouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon_Geordie Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 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 Share Posted August 25 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...
