    just want to check i understand. Unai got it wrong playing Konsa at RB becuase "Konsa's not a right back" and he put it right the second half when Konsa was still playing RB. ? Do I understand you correctly?

    and goal kicks at the other end.
  3. srsmithusa
    i like these subs.

    tielemans not my favorite player, but his contribution ot the goal was immaculate.
  5. srsmithusa
    i hope he sees things differently than a bunch of whinging amateurs !!!

    someone posted earlier that Pau was incredibly composed. i thought, yes he is, and the other one that seems calm and in control of himself is Dougie. Its seems a bit of justice to me that they are the assist and goal. settle down lads, it's a simple game.
  7. srsmithusa
    not today.

    actually, I think Konsa is our problem in this. He's thinking about his positioning and not just reacting instinctively. It makes him just a touch slow to react. The biggest example was slow stepping out to Celso on their goal, but there have been others.

    i can't wait to seeing how we actually set up and who shows strong today. if Cash is playing more RM - does that mean that Kamara will stop dropping in to R back to cover for him? Or if he still drops, does that push Pau farther to the left giving Digne more license? Unai makes football like chess only a whole lot more exiting. I love it.

    Names please

    This was not new. This has been our setup and plan for at least 3-4 weeks. Cash was not effective, but the setup you mention has nothing to do with it.

    The ref did his regular, consistent match. In his rule book, if the contact occurs above the knees, it’s not a foul. This is his style, he does it every match he does. what angers me is that forest played like they knew that, we played like we’ve never seen him before.

    I was thinking 3-0 win. But with all the alarm and worry here, I’ll change to a 2-0 win.

    interesting today, that balls over the top on an inside channel were highly effective. Also interesting is that few of them were to Watkins, who typically makes those runs. Television coverage is great for seeing the key moments on the ball, but not good at all for seeing the movement off the ball. Anybody have greater insight into what was happening that those balls were so effective? on a similar note, who hit the ball to Bailey that ended in our third goal? and who hit the one to Diaby after that?

    Great to be able to win comfortably, but it worried me that we were too comfortable. I would have liked to see more aggression and urgency to our play. We could and should have moved the ball much more quickly, should have hit Digne with an early ball, multiple times. Taking slow and easy becomes a habit and a dangerous habit against the wrong opponent.

    I hope Dendonker and Chambers are happy at their new clubs come February.

    no video for me, but just saw a replay on the second. nice finish, but unbelievable vision and pass from SJM for the assist. also, good pressure in midfield to create the turnover.

    According to the header, this match was Oct 9. I missed it. What was the score?
  19. srsmithusa
    I hate a team that foul to break up play, foul persistently, and then flop straight into their coffin when contact comes back at them. I also hate when a referee allows them to ugly up the game with that. Finally, I despise fans that urge it on and feed off it. other than that, it was a good day.
  20. srsmithusa
    if ya'll are right and Watkins, Cash, Luiz, coming on. I think that's the right choice from Emory.
  21. srsmithusa
    it's only an insult if it's not true.
  22. srsmithusa
    that comment is pure evil when VT is my only match "view"
  23. srsmithusa
    But we also need to user those that repeatedly don't contribute to an appropriate exit.
  24. srsmithusa
    I just don't think Tielemanns or Donk have quickness in the first step or speed to close down space quickly. That creates a great number of vulnerabilities. I wonder if SJM will play left to link up with Digne on attacks with Zoniolo on right? that would be my preference.

    currently 5th. playing 13 this weekend. 4th and 6 playing each other, so the opportunity to move up is real. Winning the league is a bridge to far this season IMO, (we need more consistency and more depth) but top 4 would suit.
