Yorkie Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 3 hours ago, Menace said: Summary of our performance if anyone is kind enough please? We were the better team throughout and save for a spell just after half time where it didn't look like we were gonna press home the advantage, we played pretty well. First half we didn't create much, as Matty says, but once we started to force the issue from an hour onwards, there was only one team in it. Second goal was a peach and the third felt like rolling back the years in terms of basically pressing it into the goal. Structurally we looked good in the 4-2-3-1, with Woltemade in-particular helping to make it all tick - by retaining possession between the thirds and generally being progressive in everything he did. Really good performance from him. There were one or two stand-out poorer performances but it was a really committed display. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can’t even get basic corner and throws the right way nowadays and then offer absolutely no assistance to the refs on incidents down their line.

Groundhog63 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Had a few last night so might be fuzzy but I thought we had 3 penalty shouts ourselves. VAR would've definitely asked Mr Magoo to look at the Barnes one, for sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I’m still not sure why people think Woltemade played as a 10 like, sorry . Played as a left-sided 8 like Willock or Joelinton would in our usual 4-3-3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) 11 minutes ago, Fak said: This didn't happen at all The formation before the game was defined as 4231 and rightly so , but he did drop deeper at times to perhaps make it appear a 433. There's not really that much difference tbh. Howe did similar last season with Longstaff and Tonali where he slowly tweeked and adjusted and eventually it came good. He's having to do the same with Woltemade and our attacking options now. I often think folk get a bit caught up on the formations and this whole "Eddie Howe doesn't change things". He has a somewhat winning identity to his strategy and has had to make minor adjustments based on the personnel available, irrespective of formation. I.e. I think he always wants us to play a direct style of football with the ball and a high press without. The number of games has impacted the latter and forced us to be less compact especially following a turnover in possession and this is where I'd have my largest criticism of Howe this season - I feel he's attempted to keep everyone fresh by rotating one or two each game where perhaps he'd have been better to run with his preferred 11 and then directly swap players in and out where absolutely necessary. It would have helped with the cohesion and bedding new players in. Easy to say that in the aftermath though. When we consider he got us to the league cup semi final and through again yesterday with a CL playoff game and potential knockouts games on the horizon he may well just be proven to have managed this nigh on perfectly with what he had available. Anyways...I've waffled now Edited February 15 by Heron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idiots on here were trying their best to ridicule me. I never saw one message of support from you. Didn’t see it. I genuinely think ppl who won’t Var scrapped have forgotten what it feels like to lose a game of football due to a bad decision. It happened regularly.

They'll do well to hold off Liverpool for a top 5 place. They have been for a few weeks, but they probably have too many points on the board not to finish top five. Injuries and the schedule seems to be also doing a bit of a number on them too. They have carried a decent amount of luck this sesson mind.
