We were 1-0 against Spurs with twenty minutes to go. Spurs ended up winning it and fair play they deserved to it but imagine had we taken the three points. Spurs would be one point outside the relegation zone, and we'd be in 6th. You're completely right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 People talking about us not knowing how to play against 10 men and Leicester showed us how it's done are being a little unfair to us. Southampton were losing and had to chase the game before the sending off. We were behind, this changes the complexion of the game. We also had a lot of chances and a goal disallowed. Southampton just rolled over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smg Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Might not be rocket science but was certainly beyond our team when it mattered. Hopefully lessons have now been learnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 This is nothing to do with knowing how to play against 10 men. This is an opposition that threw in the towel as soon as they went a goal down and had a men sent off. They’re in big trouble. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southampton just rolled over. Arsenal game was the best example although Arsenal are obviously much better than Southampton (although in general terms not that good anymore). It's certainly a weakness we've long had, we failed to win a few games in championship v 10. I think it's in part because we're slow at times moving the ball when opposition have 5-6 back and we also don't have many game changers on the mention. Anyway it's not often you play against 10 men over a season for a decent chunk of the game so we've probably used up our quota for the season already.

Our team is full of players who can dribble particularly in the centre of the park, so I expect more sendings off against us. We were terrible against Arsenal once they pulled a goal back for sure. West Ham we were poor. Brighton we banged on the door and scored 3 goals and made many chances. But my main original point t is that Leicester and Southampton cannot be compared to any of our matches against 10 men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 We have a minimum +13 goal difference on the bottom 3. Hopefully this doesn't take a beating in the next 2 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely this ^^ We break too slowly and allow our opponents to get back behind the ball. It's something we need to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 We could get a draw today but if our rivals get wins be in a worse postion than if we lose and rivals also lose. Another philosophical way of saying if as many of the teams around us lose as possible and things stay pretty much the same then a defeat today won't be too bad as long as we don't suffer a humiliating scoreline.

VillaChris Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Fancy Wolves to sneak that one, Schar out injured so Newcastle defence will be weaker and he is also their best on the ball so can start attacks. One of Brighton-Everton will remain below us with them playing each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
