Huddersfield (A) Post Match Thread

We keep on going

Walker, Gundogan and Otamendi not first team form at the moment but we need the squad depth more than ever now

Mariner is a joke not just the pen decision but only gave us any protection from naughty challenges when game was won

Hope we don’t get him too much more
 
PEP Second half we were better, especially the first 15. Our rhythm was not quick enough [in the first half] but we would take that result. I am honest with them and tell them all the time what I feel.

PEP @DeBruyneKev played 90 minutes, that is good news. When you are iong-time injured you need the rhythm. @aguerosergiokun was sick and he needs time.

PEP I would rather be in Liverpool’s position. All we can do is win our games. Improve, analyse our games and try to improve. I cannot answer about Liverpool every press conference. Now we have Carabao Cup. We will see.

PEP (102) is a lot of goals yeah. We have done so good. In the @premierleague one team has been better but it’s January and there are many games left to play. In January, you don’t win the league
 
Job done and keeps up the pressure. Poor, I thought, in the first half, better in second but never in any danger. And yes, every other top six side gets given that penalty.
 
Far from our first below par performance of late. Last 25 minutes of the 1st half were as bad as we’ve played all season. Walker was an accident waiting to happen, Gundogan gave the ball way incessantly, and KDB looked every inch someone who hasn’t played in months. Even Ferna gave away sloppy possession more than once. If Pep tore them a new one at half time they all fucking deserved it. Much better for the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half, and coasted thereafter
 
Very average performance against a poor side. Mariner is an apology of a ref and following Scudamore's instructions to not give City anything.

We did not need to get out of 1st gear today, but the performance in general was not great, stray passing, slow build up play and lack of tempo. At the end of the day 3 points and a clean sheet, should not be too despondent.
 
Walker is really beginning to worry me now...two examples from the game. Could have been sent off with a stupid tackle and in the last minute the winger just strolled past him when they almost scored. Against the top teams in the CL he will have to dramatically improve his performances.
Spot on - he’s been dropped once already this season and he constantly drops concentration and makes rash decisions - Wigan last season just one example - if he does this against teams in the latter stages of the CL it could be costly - but his price tag and wages would mean it maybe difficult to move him on - a solution for the bigger games maybe when Mendy is fit play Danilo at RB and rotate Walker into games like today where if he makes a mistake it won’t be too important as our attack will still get the result
