Villa moved on their “best player” Grealish and never looked back. Maybe we need to come round to this idea as a fan base, unpalatable as it may seem. Can you trust our recruitment to properly replace them. The problem is if Bruno keeps playing poorly it will start to get noticed by other teams and he will be sold for nout. Which player would actually make that much of a profit if we keep playing poorly. Unless we sell Miley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 If Isak and Gordon had been in form things would have looked completely different. But they arent and we looked toothless like we have done all season sadly. Other than finishing we looked good before their goal though, so thats a small thing to take with us. Like I have said before, if Eddie deserves credit for making players overperform then he also deserves criticism when players underperform. I think its to easy to say things like he cant put the ball in the net himself. 9 goals in 10 games now, thats shockingly bad. Eddie has a big job getting the players confident infront of goal. The way things look now i wouldnt be surprised to see us bottom half this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggies Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 My worry is that it’s gone stale. Crowd are stale, performances are stale. It’s really hard for it to change unless the manager goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let in a soft goal and then the second half became very frustrating. Said before this game that the next week or so had the potential to very grim. Get knocked out the cup by Chelsea and lose to Arsenal is very possible. I see what you're saying but that's still not indicative of a good season - play well for a half, go in 1-0 down then struggle throughout the second half. Our xG (yes I know, xG blah blah) was under two. It was only about 0.3 better than theirs. It's not as if we had one clear cut chance after another.

Doctor Zaius Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Lack of final ball/quality cost us today. That cutting edge would have seen us at least equalise and possibly go into the break one up. I thought Isak was as poor as he's ever been for us. Movement off the ball was lacking. Gordon's finishing is off the boil. Barnes wasn't great when he came on but he must be scratching his head as to why Jacob Murphy starts ahead of him. Lewis Hall and Dan Burn (who's been our player of the season) were excellent I thought. All in all though, we look somewhat languid and bereft of ideas. Like the squad needs a jolt and something fresh. That's what you get when you don't improve the first XI for two windows in a row. Howe and the players have been hung out to dry somewhat im afraid. On a side note I thought Baleba was brilliant for them. 20 year old and absolutely bossed the midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Definitely think that in 5+ years we look back at this summer and file it in the same place as the Bowyer and Anita windows. An absolute waste of a chance to really kick on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every game this season bar City at SJP, same idea of passing around instead of shooting - when we aren't passing back. Isak doesn't look fit, looks like we gambled.

It was anything but gutless as you described it, it was lacking final product, a cutting edge. The commitment and effort was there, the performance was actually very good for the most part. It wasn’t gutless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our xG (yes I know, xG blah blah) was under two. It was only about 0.3 better than theirs. It's not as if we had one clear cut chance after another. That’s where xG should only really be used as a guide, though. Gordon inexplicably taking that shot so early won’t have had a high xG. But it could/should have been a brilliant chance. I bet his header was quite low and all. But that was a glaring miss. Isak seemed to have 2-3 chances that probably ended up as 0.00. As he just dillied and dallied until the chance had gone. His 1 on 1 was almost automatic last season. So again, you’re fully expecting that to go in and fuck what xG says in that instance Outside of that, it was a lot of huff and puff, bad final balls, close to getting on the end of stuff etc. So wouldn’t really show up. We had enough decent chances and opportunities to score 3-4 today and the fact we didn’t even get 1 is baffling. Not world class saves or anything. Just abysmal finishing.

Now, Brentford away in the QF under Bruce, that was gutless, you and i could probably name at least a dozen each under Bruce the same. Today was as far from absolutely gutless as it could get, disappointing and wasteful aye. Sorry, just noticed you did say making a lot of chances.

Scoot Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 There's too many of our top players just not performing this season. The question needs to be asked as to why? I don't think today was too bad and we've had the chances to win the game but we're really struggling to find the net this season due to our out of form players. It's really frustrating Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the intolerance of negativity isn't it, to accuse all the negative newcomers as being one and the same. Personally i like to explain why they're wrong, even if i was talking to same person. Well until I'm wrong in the end i guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Puppets Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Weird one that one. Felt like we were completely in control for the vast majority of the game, with 3 or 4 really good chances… somehow managed to miss them all. Brighton had 1 (or maybe two) moments all game, and win. Really frustrating but we played pretty well I thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
