Eddie needs to iron out some bits, and figure out our starting lineup.

 

Big plus tonight was Barnes, who I thought played well on both sides.

 

Really liked how well he was linking with Tino down the right.

 

Actually thought he looked better on the right than Gordon did.

There has been a bit of a trend these last few games:

 

First 20 = good
Middle 30 = bad
Last 20 = good

 

Don't know if its by designed and we're trying to manage games, and it's just haven't got that skill yet but it's noticeable.

He did. Good that we've got options if the 11 stay the same after Friday.

Well we've been dog shit for large portions of 3 games so far, but got 4 points out of 6 and through to next round in cup. 

 

Loads to improve on though, a few of the lads look miles off it.

 

Onwards and upwards.

 

HWTL.

Was thinking about it during the pen shootout and the more I thought about how we'd played, the body language and some of the reactions afterwards... I think there a few players feeling unsettled, maybe a bit despondent and I wonder whether it's down to things like Eddie being linked with England, Gordon being linked to Liverpool, Isak linked to Arsenal, Bruno linked to City and rumours of Tripps wanting out. I'd like to think they're all professional enough, but something just seems a bit 'off' and I can't put my finger on it. The togetherness, the drive to fight for each other in every move, it seems to be missing or at least less intense. Hope I'm wrong.

 

On the upside, Tonali looked ace!

One obvious positive is that we haven’t lost despite being really shit at times. We struggled even getting a point when we played shit last season.

 

Agreed. Just need to grind out results right now till we work out some kinks.

Can we just appreciate how bad that penalty was by Awoniyi. It doesn’t get much worse 

I was so confident that we where still losing the shootout, even after Gordon scored to level it, than that happened and I just burst out laughing :lol:
