AVTuco Posted October 20, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 20, 2018 Nyland is as poor as always. Other than that, a great first half. Oh, how I wish I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can get a win here and build some confidence, last 5 minutes we looked very shaky. I knew somebody would say that, but the fact is that it was pretty much a text book save. Kicking was shite mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted October 20, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 20, 2018 Good first half, probably should have had a second goal too. Been good in attack and at least logical and pressing when not with the ball. Promising stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Well organised, mid 3 and front 3 working as units, we are creating a lot, and are pressing well defensively. This formation will leave us a bit open when Grealish and McGinn goes forward so a lot of responsability on BB. But my god do I prefer this and that we let a goal in than the turgid sit back and defend and kick it long/in the channels! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junxs Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Tammy took his goal well but theres been 3 occasions where he could have played Elmo in, twice over hit the pass and once straight to their defender.. we need to be more clinical and accurate.

Love the pressing game and was the first thing I noticed almost right off the bat after kickoff. Must improve our passing, but I'm sure this is glaringly obvious to Dean and his team. Much more entertaining to watch too. UTV! Tbf you can't expect a perfect passing ratio with this aggressive and direct style. Looks to me he is telling them to make more forward based passes rather than safe ones. Yeah our passing acuracy will get worse but we will also create more chances 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No keeper can keep a team afloat alone when the team ahead of him is organised like a gaggle. Sshh let’s just write him off after a few games in a new country, no-one ever improves after a shaky start. Especially goalkeepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Nyland is a good shot stopper - just never comes for the ball. But heck we look a darn site better already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I think Nyand has been good, a great save on what should have been a goal for them, he passes it short and contributes to the build up play. He has had a couple of misskicks, but at least one was under preassure. Good stuff so far and nothing to complain about at all imo. Luckily there havent been many crosses, I think thats where he has looked most shaky before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the problem under Bruce, we had to win, because when we lost there was nothing to cushion the blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 We needed half time there, Swansea were coming into it. Very good first half, but Swansea have quality we need to ensure we score another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness he received the balls a couple of times from our centre backs under pressure and the midfield didn't drop in to give him an out ball - so he hoofed it (Bruced it) and it went out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like that tosserish behaviour from him. It's simple, when you never make an error, ever, and every ball hits your teammate where and how he wants it or goes into the space he wanted it with the weight he wanted and it was the correct decision to play to that teammate, then - and only then - can you give it the prima donna. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
