If it ends like this - I guarantee that some will say we defended well just because it's a clean sheet.

Defensively we ride our luck in virtually every game.

 

[dubblue]

Ah Lewis ffs that is absolutely shocking

 

[waspish]

Just keep giving the ball to Cherki

 

[heslops barnet]

Put Semenyo on the right, Doku looks rattled

Doku looks like he’s carrying an injury, needs to come off

 

[ALDN_Ko]

Even if we somehow scammed a win from this, the performance would still feel like us exiting the title race. We’re miles off the level required.

We aren’t winning here. We turned up with the worst possible team selection in all the key positions and expected to win. Fullbacks, wrong choice. Number ten poor choice

 

[.db.]

Guehi can't come soon enough

Why, is he going to play in midfield and make sure attacks don’t break down time and time and time again?

Khusanov says you must be blind.

My mistake - forgot about khusa

 

[pudge]

Put at least one cross in for the 6'4 goal scoring freak for fuck sake

 

[vicblueman]

we havent got a clue how to break them down

 

[PSmyth07]

Our wingers get sucked in to the middle of the park, and then just walk back, get back in shape

 

[Pedestrian]

Zero idea in the final 1/3. Absolute shite.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

H

Ah Lewis ffs that is absolutely shocking

He's a local lad though

 

[kanovic]

Guehi can't come soon enough

Defense is not the problem.. it’s the non existent midfield…. Guehi won’t fix this

 

[YatesA]

So easy to defend against if both semenyo and Rico go inside fuck sake

 

[ws01]

Sick to death of Doku and his slow excessive touches. Take your man on, give it away quick or fuck off

 

[SamTheGuru]

We are having real problems controlling the pitch here. Seems like they have 2 more players on the field than us.

 

[malg]

Absolutely zero cutting edge

 

[jimharri]

Match thread living up (down?) to expectations, I see.

 

[mick10]

Why aren’t we using the long throw by Semenyo there ffs try something diff for once

Yep. It’s more effective than a corner.

 

[Legal Alien]

Quick, to the transfer forum, we need another 8 players...

Just one, Anderson?

We need someone to clog up the middle, we're being overrun there
