ElDiablo Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Thought we were more solid generally which is encouraging. A heinous lack of quality going forward. The amount of times I growled in frustration Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

clintdempsey Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 The thing is. When the window turned out the way it did - this was the expected result in a way. We put all our eggs in the unrealistic CB basket. And most were saying “We’re not getting injuries at the same rate this year”, “Without Europe and full weeks on the training ground we’re a lot better”. Well, we’re missing both Isak and Wilson again. We’ve got a young striker who won’t get minutes for some reason. We were OK today, but it’s still 2 points lost for me. We don’t create enough clear cut chances. When we do we fluff them something rotten. Piss poor penalty from Gordon and a couple of other bad misses. Hopefully one of our strikers will be back after the break. We sure as hell need them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 A controlled performance that lacked a final ball/finish. Not that unexpected considering the lack of striker. I thought we had some really decent patterns in possession. Some of our best playing out from the back this campaign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 We look more solid and better control compared to games before city, seems to be a bit sharper but absolutely shit at hurting teams given the amount of times we had it in their half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Personally thought that was a decent performance, with a bunch of positives coming from it, it's just really frustrating we weren't able to finish. We where really solid, and controlled most of the game, and that was probably our best away performance in a long time. Think there are signs we are getting back to ourselves. Think that was a solid if frustrating point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were good tonight, just snatched at every single big chance, which is very annoying. Everton had their chance because of course they did; PL teams always get a chance. We were by a country mile the better team there. Point on the road, take it and move on. Tldr; PATHETIC!!! Yeah, it's more frustrating for me because we were so much better than them and just couldn't bury them. But positives to take for sure in terms of an improved away performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyBartoon Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Woeful in the final 3rd again, lack of intelligence on the ball and really predictable, likely the reason we’ll do nowt in the league this season. Imagine most other teams around us would have won that by 3 or 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, performance wise we were much better and had we scored just 1 goal, the narrative would be different. Infuriating how we haven’t realised that Wilson is a crock, or given the young striker a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

et tu brute Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 (edited) I'm pissed off with that mind, the lack of quality in the final third this season has been woeful, even when we have had Isak available. How the fuck Murphy and Almiron are still the first choice right wingers is unreal. Edited October 5 by et tu brute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Pundit Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 I think that match has frustrated and irritated me the most of all our matches so far this season - we played infinitely better than previous weeks, but for some reason just could finish the multitude of chances we had, made all the worse by being against a shit lucky team of cloggers like the scouse mackems, somehow they always seem to fluke points against us against run of play.

That’s not “control” imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been critical of our away performances for ages, but we win that game with an actual striker up top IMO. Played some nice football through midfield at times, we just lacked composure in the final third. Considering how rattled we've looked away from home over the last year and how these lot always seem to be up for it against us, it was at least good to see us keep them at arms length for pretty much the entirety of the game and actually dictate the tempo a bit.
