The sky coverage. [emoji38]

 

It hits his arm, fine its high up but when you score with it surely an arm is an arm? "i think it hits the shoulder".

They changed the rules so that it can hit the top of the arm last season.

For everyone referencing 22/23, we were absolutely battered down Brighton at this stage and got lucky there as well.

 

We paid the price for a very poor setup first half. Poor shape, poor approach to building play. We looked a lot better last 30 as we had better players on - it's not complicated.

What we learned. The best team we've all largely been saying is the best. We still need a CB. Still need a RW. Still need someone who can take ball more in midfield (hopefully Tonali improves that).

 

Another poor game, but got a result. Intensity and play with the ball is bad, but it better improve as season goes on. Can't be going away and playing like that or we'll do well to win 5 away games this season.

Midfield roles and set pieces are really poor coached, whoever is responsible for both.


Set pieces and defending is Tindall. Possession, build up patterns and attacking play is Howe. I think.

Good point that, and a draw was a fair reflection of the overall game. We have a good 20 minutes at the start, then a poor 40 minutes either side of half time, and then the subs made an impact and we ironically looked the more likely to score going into extra time. Bournemouth are a decent team, so you take that. We really need to learn how to retain possession when we're under pressure, as too often we pump it long, and the opposition come back at us.

 

I actually think the disallowed goal was very harsh, would be livid if that wasn't given against us, and Joelinton is very lucky to have not seen red at the end. 

 

So overall, decent point and result, and stuff to work on. 4 points from your opening 2 games, you take it.

Both will start next Sunday 😂

 

God help us if so.

 

The amount of pressure it invites on our defense is unbelievable. And it just spreads through the team and puts everyone on edge.

 

Willock and Barnes coming on made them uneasy instead, and pinned them back.

Lucky, lucky point in the end - but will take it. Joelinton should have been sent off (really stupid to grab the keeper!) and then really fortunate that the goal was ruled out for 'handball'.

 

Not a good day, but a point on the road. ??? :thup:

You definitely take it, but we didn’t deserve a point.
