Memphis Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Really ponderous. We just look like a tired squad, tired physically and maybe tired of playing together. We are not seeing the best of any player now, and because everyone is nervy, mistakes are more common than ever. Ultimately it comes down to just how bad our forwards have been and how badly they’ve been integrated into the squad. We have zero presence up front, and zero dynamism to get in behind. It leads to glacial passing sequences and no end product. If we don’t score via transitions, we are hopeless. No need to change the manager yet, he’s certainly earned plenty of time. But we will have to completely overhaul things in the summer. Several of these players should be nowhere near our first team by August. If they still are, we are completely fucked. As for this year, let’s just win the CL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Can we do an overhaul though? Not sure, 3-4 quality additions would do it imo. GK, Full back, CM and another forward option Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stozo Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 30 minutes ago, nufc123 said: 3 goals at home to Brentford is really worrying like. Not sure you can call it an overreaction. It’s quite simple though that today it’s down to being a bare bones in defence and having no other RB option. Nothing we did defensively was bad - apart from three occasions where Dango put Trippier on toast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I think we were unlucky to be playing a team as well coached as Brentford. They seemed to have an extra player in defence and in attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the team don't perform and I choose to discuss it, on a football forum no less, that makes me a keyboard warrior and a cunt apparently. I praise the team when they play well and ask questions when they don't, which last time I checked, is called being a fan. But according to you THAT isn't allowed here... Nah it’s cool, but the way you phrased it triggered something in me. Last thing we need is negativity right now. All the best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stozo Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 The other bloody frustrating thing about tonight (that just seems to have been glossed over) is I am fairly sure PGMOL will rule VAR should have intervened on the Brentford penalty. VAR judged it a non-deliberate handball, and as the rules stand you can’t give a non-deliberate handball if the arm is in to the body. If the VAR had given deliberate handball - judging Murphy was bringing his arm in to block the ball - then it would have been a penalty. But as VAR has interpreted (according to the PL Match Centre) it doesn’t meet the threshold for a penalty and they’ve got it wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Disappointed with their 3rd goal. We get back into game. 2-2, we can win this, 15 mins to go. Poor goal to concede. No chance of Top 6. 7th possible. Even if we finish midtable. Howe gets to start next season. We can sell 2 high value talents perhaps and do a full rebuild. We have bar to spend in summer. No Europe, I fancy us to get top 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where we absolutely need a proper DM, someone that absolutely eats that ball and/or smells the danger is on their player in an instant stopping that simple ball over the top being played Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Feel slightly less annoyed with Howe since watching the highlights and the details. I was frustrated at the match but I didn't realise how soft their penalty was and how bad Pope does on the winner. Obviously the sheer number of mistakes made by Murphy and Trippier as well.

Smal Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) I have no idea who people are expecting to play instead of Trippier Some kid from the reserves that lose every match?

Even these are highly questionable though, Murphy is a disaster waiting to happen and I don't think we have any knowledge that Thiaw is a good fullback. We also don't have a RCB to come in for him. I know you could argue that starting Trippier is so bad that any alternative is better. Edited February 7 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
