We didn’t pass with urgency and we didn’t offer a passing option in space near the man with the ball.

one example was we attacked down the right near the end of the game and McGinn was walking and Bailey had to make a 25 yard pass back to him. 
 

they either all have covid or really cannot be arsed playing the game at the moment.

Brighton got thrashed by Burnley today.

We’ve lost games we should have smashed the opposition in.

we won’t beat Brighton away. 

February, a month with 12 realistic points and we are heading for just 1 point. 

we will struggle to get another 13 points this season.

A Very, very worrying 2022 so far

The last three games we have been the worst side in the Prem

Ref is a moron

Beautiful Wounds by Phil Gould is basically what Ted Lasso soundtrack should be.

Benito Carbone, hattrick against Leeds is the one that sticks out for me.

He looks like Tyres from Spaced but is recovering from years of raving and substance abuse.

For a guy that has done little so far

Apps		Minutes             Goals					Assists
Premier League	4(6)	443	1	2

 

 

EDIT: I am aware he has not scored 443 goals  

An assist or goal every 147 minutes. If he played every game he’d have 23 goals+assists in a season. 
 

also as a sub coming on how much time is he getting in that 443 which makes a difference? 
 

Gerrard should be able to look at opposition, look at our squad and make it work.

5 points from the last 15, that form puts us at 42 points at the end of the season. 

that’s 16th based on last season. 
 

a shite season if you ask me if that happens 

I think we will be safe but not by loads. I think we will struggle to get more than 42 points 

Close the thread. 

Going to stick £20 on us not to win. Watford can easily just continue our shite run of form 

One of the worst performances since we got promoted. Our pass % must have been horrific 

Newcastle have the points here. Not good enough today.

hope I’m wrong 

Knew it as soon as he scored

I’d expect him to save that free kick. It’s right down the middle of the goal! 

It was deflected 

We aren’t playing very well so far

I'd keep Watkins and Ings, maybe add one. loan Archer out and sell the other two.

Thanks to Ben Mee, I'm afraid Wesley will never be what he was when he arrived and we need to let him go.

I think Davis might develop into a Premier league striker, but he needs to play in order to do that and we should probably let him go for his own good.

I'm not quite convinced that Archer will be a Premier League striker at the level we're after - although he has a chance of proving me wrong, he's already much better this season than I thought he had in him, another loan would prove it one way or the other.

 

Agree with this,

archer for 2022/23 though will be with us. His loan at Preston could decide that if he batters the championship. 
 

No point in waiting if he’s smashed double figures by the end of the season for them. 

I know he doesn’t have the stature but he can clearly run with the ball and pass well. 
 

is he too big for a DM role? 
 

Or is that just crazy talk?

A lot of Watkins goals comes from counter attacks with space or balls in early.

for me he’s in the same issue boat as Lukaku at Chelsea. 
 

the best strikers can deal with tough, quick balls into the box early. 
 

Another example is Vardy, if you don’t commit to giving him the ball early (a risk) you’re not going to get the best out of him and he won’t be scoring shed loads of goals. 
 

Watkins is tall, strong and holds the ball up incredibly well. 
 

we need to be better at utilising him tbh.

You literally asked what Barry had shown at 18 compared to Archer to say he's better and got a list of things.

At the moment yes Archer is better but is 2 years older. At 18 Batry had accomplished a lot more. Last season Archer had a failed loan at Solihull Moors, Barry had half a failed loan at Ipswich.

Obviously Archer is better at the moment but is 2 years older. That's the entire point. We'd have all written Archer for after doing nothing at Solihull, so let's not make the same mistake with Barry just because we're expecting a lot from him

Barry got loaned to a rubbish side with an even rubbish manager who didn’t play him and then got sacked for being rubbish. 
 

Also Barry (I believe) was out with an injury for a while. 
 

I would not lay much blame on that failure with Barry tbh.

Got a brand new build. Gas isn’t as bad as electric but as we know the UK electricity grid has huge swathes of gas generating the electricity for it. 
 

that means you’re going to be using it whatever.

Bill was £80 a month, April to April 2022/3 will be £190 for the SAME usage.

regardless of what you use, there’s absolutely no way usage can come down by over 50% in a household.

Smart enabled gear all switches off through Alexa. 
 

plus I’ve worked from home until past few months, even returning to the office two days a week (and house all switched off) bill has still skyrocketed. 
 

the government simply inept at managing public  finances, they’ve made the Labour PFI scandal of the early 00s seem like Fagin from Oliver Twist compared to this.

UHCW Hospital in Coventry was PFI and even with that cost £3.5bn with their contract. This government wrote off over two mega hospitals from PPE wastage at a flick of a pen.

they can easily fund the energy crisis, they just can’t be arsed. It’s really that simple.
