andym Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 i think it's a fair comment - overall it was an even game. we were better first half, they were better second. we should have seen out the 1-1 easily enough but decided to hand them the 3 points on a plate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Getting caught in possession is a problem for most teams....but we seem to have a bad habit of conceding goals from the pesky problem It is a symptom of many things that are wrong for me and a clear indication of progress ,when you do it less.....it will take time.

TRO Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) We are talking about gaining more creativity to score goals , but in fact we are still miles away from being able to defend well.....We are wide open. I'm not necessarily talking about being out muscled at the back post by Dann or losing the ball in vulnerable positions like Amavi did. We as a bunch lose the ball all the time, we either give it away cheaply through poor passing or poor running off the ball or just get mugged on the ball through a mixture of lack of skill/physicality/determination. for me we have a bunch of problems not just one.....much work to do IMO. ps I would be saying that if we won today on the showing.

Texas_Mike Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Sherwood says we deserved a point. What **** game was he watching? Same one that I was watching. Should have been at least 1 up at HT and then we gave them a goal. Could have been 2 - 2. We could have won. We deserved a point for sure, even though we were 2nd best in 2nd half.

Kiwivillan Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 We should have minimum 2 possibly 6 points from the last 2 if Gabby didn't play 180 mins. It's been like playing with 10 men if not worse and this is no exaggeration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Set us up well, made the right decision to bring on Traore (the wrong to take off Sanchez, mind) but leaving so many tired legs out there was a poor decision. We actually played better today than against Bournemouth or Man Utd IMO - so some encouraging signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I think Bacuna should have been subbed Sako was getting the better of him far to easy in second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Bacuna deserves dropping for the next game IMO - Sherwood can't accept performances like that if we've got other options available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 23, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 23, 2015 I agree he just isn't a RB and his mistakes are costly just the same as Clark. If we play Traore we need someone really defensively solid behind him and that isn't Bacuna. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 So far everyone loves Sherwood and rightly so with the activity in the transfer window and his refreshing approach.. The team will be given time to gel but we really need to start picking up points in the process. Sunderland is a must win or else the pressure could already be turned up a notch. This league is ruthless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this. Our ball retention is terrible. What's all that about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play Traore we need someone really defensively solid behind him and that isn't Bacuna. Was it Crespo that was translating instructions to Traore when he was waiting to come on? I wouldn't be surprised if Crespo becomes first choice right back to play behind Traore especially with them both being Spanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
