I don't think it was his mistake tbh. Heaton could've got it easily but seemed to stand still until the last minute. I think he was blinded by the sun.

I agree. It was in relation to other posts saying he had one. I was just being a bit sarcy.

Still don't like his attitude tho....

Like I said

You don't drop Wesley at this stage. Firstly, he's scored 2 goals in 7 games. If he scores again in the next 2 games then he is on for a 1:3 ratio which is pretty good. More importantly imagine the confidence lost if he gets dropped. He needs games to get used to the team, the league etc.

Surely because you get to play with the players? I haven't played FM for a long time but can you do that as well?

Of course we have. We should be 2 points better off at least. Regardless of defending or mistakes, we should have scored 3 goals at the emirates (assuming the pen goes in) and have a point against Palace. Not to mention the McGinn penalty claim against Spurs, Noble sending off, Billing second yellow. In addition to all of that their free kick goal should not have stood. Not aiming this at you Dem but our fans need to get some **** belief back, as well as the players. We have made 3 of the top 6 to 7 teams in the PL look average for large parts of the game in Spurs, Arsenal and West Ham. I'm talking 11 v 11. If we kept getting battered or looked poor I would worry but you can see the kind of team we have potentially. Just need that extra belief and nous.

We have been cheated out of 2 points. They could be massive come the end of the season.

I thought we looked much more solid with Nakamba in the team. If we play Targett we need a really mobile DM to cover.

Our distance covered on Monday was the most we have done in any game since Smith took over. Probably something to do with it.

He's second in the stats for % of shots on target. The issue is he has had only one clear cut chance apart from his goal. We have not created that much for him in all honesty.

We need Targett on the pitch really.

God imagine him in the championship

Heat of the moment. At least they both care. Forget about it and move on.

I'd be worried if we weren't making chances. I think Nakamba coming in means we are more solid in midfield and it will allow Grealish and McGinn to continue to get forward. Our big issues is the wings. None of our wingers have had a good 90 minutes. They have been good in spells but not good enough. It means Wesley is isolated and we are also not creating enough opportunities for him. Monday was the first time I think he has missed a big chance. He really hasn't had many chances in the 5 games apart from that. One issue we have is Taylor. He has done really well defensively but he impacts our forward player in such a negative way that anyone who has played left wing has looked poor. The only time any of our wingers have looked good (Trez v Spurs and Jota v Everton) was when they played on the right. I think Targett will have to come in and we may have to sacrifice some of our solidity at the back to provide better balls in the box for Wesley and our midfielders to attack.
