St1pe Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 I still reckon we’ll get this done in the second half after the subs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikri Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Giving the ball away too cheaply yet again. I've no idea what they're trying to do with the very short passing attempts but they need to knock it the fuck off as they're giving the ball away too much or they're causing out own players to stop and retrieve the ball.

Longstaff is an obvious lightning rod but the bigger issue is that we don't have a coherent or impactful attacking gameplan. Extremely passive and predictable, not apparently playing to anybody's strengths. Early days but doesn't look like the break has given us anything. Hmm. Yep. Been mostly the case away from home since August 2023. Edited September 15 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Think we've approached the final third fine but we're not firing there at all. Almost like we should be playing our sharpest forward in the final third. Howe needs to be proactive. One of Tonali or Barnes on at HT at the very least.

joeyt Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 1 minute ago, Smal said: said it before they scored but really don’t get why we’re inverting Livramento. This is a player who is good at carrying the ball forwards and dribbling, not someone who can receive the ball with his back to goal in tight spaces and progress play with his passing. If we want to do that with a right back it really ought to be Trippier. Or Hall doing it from left back as he's played centre mid before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Seems we have learned and changed nothing from last season. Awful in position, awful at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancrate1892 Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 We miss the leadership of trippier. Tonali is far too good for just 30 mins. If I was Barnes id be fuming Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Just now, Sibierski said: Hall is up there because it's attacking play, where Longstaff is careless with the ball. Nothing Hall can do, can't play expecting your attackers to lose the ball. Not Burn fault either, but he gets tight and seems to never learn he has no pace. Main issues for me in that half, we're shit with the ball again. Just such a poor side with it and rely on individual moments which is all on Gordon. At least with Barnes, that's an extra player who can pick something from his ass, but nothing joined up in our play again. No problem with Hall being up there and I accept it's part of his learning curve but when you lose possession, you've got to get back! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanLooneyToon Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 I'm just so tired of watching Longstaff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Barnes and Tonali need to be on immediately. Seen enough of Long staff to know he's nothing but a runner, and Murphy isn't great either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Our attacking coherence without Trippier is so poor. Everything looks off the cuff but they're all playing passively with barely any intent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon_Geordie Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Not impressed by Bruno today either tbh, or most of the season. But he's he last of the problems. Isak and Gordon far too isolated and the midfield too deep. Missing Wilock to bridge the gap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Left hand side has been good, right hand side doesn’t exist. Also sick of us not playing to Isak’s strengths. Joelinton has been complacent again. Mainly I’m sick to fuck off our right hand side. Get Tonali on immediately, and Barnes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to rag on him, but there were at least 3+ occasions we got in the final third and Longstaff touch killed the move and lost possible. Similarly, the ball dies when it gets to Murphy. Two from Tonali, Willock and Barnes have to come on at HT Edited September 15 by Roids Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Just watched Livramento for their goal by the way… a shocking bit of decision making from him makes that a goal rather than an easily defendable situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 (edited) What makes this so tough to take is that they really don't look great. Massive opportunity to separate ourselves further from some teams we'll be competing with. So disappointing. Edited September 15 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
