MrBlack Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 So do we think Watkins wasn't 100% yesterday? And I'm talking fitness/injury wise rather than him just having a bad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair though he shot across goal meaning it was parried to Cash so actually gave us 2 good chances. Cash just missed the huge chance unfortunately.

Cash just missed the huge chance unfortunately. I think after cutting inside he’s entitled to shoot also. Yes, Diaby makes an intelligent run but he’s got the better chance there I think. Shame Cash utterly missed the rebound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah agreed, I think he has to shoot once he has the clear sight of goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie yesterday was the least of our worries 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another day Ezri doesn't go prime Maguire and just give the ball to Isak to score. On another day the Luiz foul in the box is a pen. On another day Cash buries that rebound and we're back in it. On another day the second goal was ruled offside. On another day Ollie buries that glorious chance from Diaby's square ball. I won't even start about poor Tyrone. Just an all round s**t day. So few silver linings as well. Was a freak day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every striker (Lewa, Haaland, Shearer, Henry) on the planet is having a shot, he's earned it. Only Messi (I think!) would see that pass and lay off. And that's the difference between good and greatness 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use that to focus the squad (which I undoubtedly think Unai will be doing) and get the bad game out of the way. The coaches need to use Saturday as fuel for the next 10 games.

Popular Post KentVillan Posted August 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2023 Watkins didn’t have a lot of service. When he did have service, he played pretty well. Don’t see any need to worry about him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 For me he just didn't get any space. I think our midfield were totally out muscled and he fed of scraps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think was a pass on here. Trippier I think it is would have cut out a pass to Diaby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
