We're never seeing the best of him in a game like this. Genuinely curious what you expect of him. To turn into Iniesta just because we're playing Bromley? He's had a rough first half I'll admit, but the pile on is a bit embarrassing. Nah, just looking like a premier league top 8 club player would be a good start.

Nowhere Man Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Fragile squad, god forbid we get a couple of injuries. Howay Mitchell earn your bucks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I guess it's possible Howe's not actually resting anyone but using the lineup as a plea for further squad investment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Besides the silliness for their goal, we have been absolutely comfortable. Havnt created much but we are playing a low block with Longstaff at 6 and Miggy on the right, we will get our chance to kill this game though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the first half I’m comfortable with him not getting mins at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 That snippet of Ange. such a relentless arsehole, hope the media start smashing him soon, he's done everything he can to fuel bad blood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 While it's a bit OTT in the thread, it does demonstrate our massive lack of depth. After the first team we don't really have anyone very exciting or, well, good. Our 2nd choice senior players are all fairly low quality as shown here; Almiron, Longstaff, Kelly, Osula etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Clumsy in and around the box when faced with a defensive setup, again. Edited January 12 by ElDiablo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cf Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 As you'd expect really. Would hope some of the players stepped up a bit more to try and stake a claim to being a first team starter but no evidence of that whatsoever today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Lot of players have barely played in ages so there's a lot of rustiness. Desperately lack a bit of flair in the squad. Still think we should swap the wingers over for a bit and tell them to just get to the byline. Almiron's game on the right is based on quick one twos behind the defence and that really doesn't work against a low block. We get to the corner of the box and then just turn round and go back! Get down the touchline, get a couple more in the box and start drilling it across. Lovely hit by Miley. Dubravka's much better when the opposition don't shoot on target.

A few boots up the arse from Howe and Tindall at HT will do the trick. Our biggest issue has being so lackadaisical first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Nine said: A been out of the team Longstaff starting at 6 was never going to look great tbh He's not playing the 6, but he should be. He's the right side 8 and is struggling being further forward against the low block. Not seeing any passes and can't control the ball well enough with people around him. Miley is at the 6, aand I'd switch him with Longstaff. Miley is far more likely to make something happen further forward.

black_n_white Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 This might be a complete knee jerk but whenever we need to make wholesale changes we go to shit. Is this just something Howe struggles with? Thinking back to last season and the extra champions league games. Not having quality to bring in probably doesn’t help btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no surprise he's got rust to shake off. That makes him kinda useless for us now tbh, if thats the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Just a rusty performance from players who haven't played much. Some good ones in there too, Schar, Trippier, Targett and Miley have done well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
