Another month out and he will be in the England squad He's our second best player that brings the best out of our best player, and is not intimidated by the mighty Man Utd like some of our players seem to be. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he'd got back quicker he would've had his feet set to attack the cross correctly instead of lunging awkwardly. Konsa was behind martial.

Ramsey is exciting, but he's a kid. He's not ready for a game against title challengers, away from home, where we're already trailing and need to try to find a way back in.

TRO Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Another soft header like the chelsea game.....we really don't like headers, do we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I think it's a lot harder to drop Mings when he's started again than it was to just keep the same lineup, but Hause was in really good form, and I don't think he should have been dropped.

villalad21 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 They are a very good side. No shame in losing to them. It's just so annoying that we concede such sloppy goals. Traore comes across such a luxury player. Got to ask yourself if he is worth the hazzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re lacking quality tonight from our wide players who have been superb in recent weeks. The only thing that worries me is the Traore performance. He really doesn’t look great. I’d hook him at halftime to be brutally honest. I appreciate the opposition in this game and the last is of the best out there, but we can’t afford to be carrying players, we’re just not good enough to do that. Push Grealish onto AWB, AEG onto Shaw, and bring Ramsey in centrally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have created a lot more than us, I’d really like to see Jack our wide for the 2nd but can’t see Smith making an early adjustment. We know we have goals in us though, game isnt over yet. We aren't scoring tonight unless he makes early changes. Far too pedestrian and far too sloppy with the ball. McGinn gave the ball away 5 times in the 1st 10 mins. Thankfully he has improved.

Genie Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 We’ve got pretty much nothing in the bench. If we’re go get something out of this we need to do it with the starting 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted January 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2021 Jack hasn't been taking their players on at all. Maybe he should, instead of the easy passes he's been handing out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakefieldVillan Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Just now, JB said: There’s definitely a case for bringing on Davis. Watkins is getting completely outmuscled by Bailly and even though he might not be the same goal threat, I’d back Keinan to do a better job at bringing others into the game. I agree there's a case for it. Not many will agree though, because they can't see past Davis 'doesn’t score goals, so he's not an option". Even though he has attributes (in this game) that we are lacking. It will be a case of Smith trying to get more from the current wide players though (till at least 70 mins or when we're further behind). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I wouldn’t say it’s too dissimilar to the Chelsea game, and that one turned out okay in the end. We need to sort our wing play out, though, and stop their full backs getting past our lines. We’ve played okay, but we can play better. Barkley’s absence is noticable.

Traore's free kick set them up for a counter attack. It was so bad it's been even. we're playing man utd and, like it or not, they're not a shit team. it's not like we've played bad either so I don't see the point in having a moanfest and talking about replacing players XD. I mean some people should check their pulses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiltorken Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 United defending very well, traore has looked poor though. Hard to see where the goals will come from, Bailey has Watkins well Marshalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
