Bernardo needs to wake up.

Seems to have gone to sleep after his brilliant free kick.

Despite the goals it's fair to say we've been let off a few times as well by poor finishing

 

[Tolmie scores]

Not sure they look anything special. This is why we battered them last season, it's just that we're a bit more vulnerable at the back than last season.

They are going full on cheat mode with the diving and play acting.

We could let in 2 or 3 more here. Every attack looks like they could score. We cant keep it at all

Every time they get the ball they somehow end up having a shot. Its a fucking joke, needs sorting this

 

[M Gaudino]

the attacking play is crap. we’ve played needless passes and given it away. at 0-1 could have just 70% possession and sat on their box. we did it to arsenal and they’re no better.

now its easier for them they can sit in and let us have it. when they break they k ow exactly where to go which is wide left. thats another shot they’ve just had which could easily have gone in

 

[OntarioBlue]

Kovacic needs to be better

He’s probably the biggest culprit giving the ball away and allowing them to hit us in the break

 

[jollylescott]

Kova looks out of his depth here

 

[handsofstone]

Jesus how often are we gonna lose it around the halfway line and let them run straight at Ortega

 

[levets]

Our ball retention is poor so far. We seem to want ages on the ball and they’re not giving us time.

 

[RayCTID]

We doing alright. No need to kneejerk.
