Move ElGhazi to the other side and get Traore off for either Hourihane or Ramsey. This for me too. We need that extra man in the middle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Their 2 DMs aren't allowing us to play. Also, Chelsea aren't making the mistakes that the lesser teams have been making against us recently. Their first touch is usually spot on and they resist our press pretty well. We'll have to find another approach to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traore lazy when not tracking back for Chelsea goal, El Ghazi showing his less effective game again. Need to support Watkins better. Trouble those wide players have goals in recent games.

Yeah but Davis isn’t the answer...we played with 10 men only a few days ago, we don’t need to do it again having Davis up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted December 28, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2020 We don't have anyone on the bench who can change this game for us so Smith and crew will need to pull a **** miracle out to find a way of countering what Chelsea are doing. They have a lot of quality on the bench too so when they bring fresh legs on it'll be another test. That said, we had chances and if we take our next one who knows.

On the game, we started off well but bit sloppy for their goal. Watkins not getting much but was gonna be tough.. I just can't see us losing at the moment, big test in 2nd half Theres no consistency 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In today's case, the toes look closer than the shoulder to me My problem is with ruling out goals that are essentially level. It's pseudoscience, and it's ruining the sport. Chilwell was level; that was a good goal and I'm glad it stood. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Just now, The_Steve said: Yep. His foot is off for me. I hate how inconsistent this whole thing is. Stockley Park are an embarassment. I think you've misintepreted my post. His foot is deemed to be offside. Posters on here are unhappy that the line wasn't drawn from his arm, as Watkins' was. The simple reason for that is his foot was ahead of his arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems Traore has reverted to not tacking back whatsoever or tracking back 15 yards away from the person he’s meant to be pressuring with the ball. AEG a little better but the damage is coming from that right hand side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Started well and then the energy went. Traorè not helping in defence at all. I think this will just peter out into a loss for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted December 28, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2020 We're clearly tired. Played our hearts out two days ago with ten men for 50 minutes. Today, same team continues. Players like Traore and AEG must be exhausted. We really needed Trez today. I'd like us to be able to come from behind, that would be like taking us to the next level. Today may not be the day with our worn legs, but we need to start getting into games even if were losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Exhibit A one why we should look to make 1 or two signings next month. Our squad depth can't compete with the top sides. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish we could make 5 or 6 changes to rest players like Chelsea did. It’s takes time,in the future we will be able to do this ,now we need to be realistic and accept we are improving but can’t compete with the clubs who have been building their squads for years.

I'd like the attacker to be given the benefit of the doubt unless the offside is (you'll like this ) "clear and obvious". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
