Johnnyp Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 El Ghazi on the right just doesn't work ( saying that he's appetite to work and body language has been horrendous, you can bring that regardless of position ) he's too weak on the right to beat anyone down the line. Watkins has been immense, header aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Been ok but been a bit sloppy in final 3rd. We seem to be lacking energy today. Dont know if ee are knackered but our attacking play has been poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 If Ghazi comes out for the second I'll ve very disappointed in Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackHaakon Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Move Grealish away from Koufal and take off AEG. I expect Smith to show some sort of tactical creativity now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 DS will actually have to make subs early if we continue to play like this, we’ve been really, really poor. Grt into them at HT, if no uplift in performance in first 10 he needs to start being proactive and looking to tweak things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Not as bad as some making out, but we can do a lot better. Pointless playing El Ghazi on the right hand side, need more from McGinn and Barkley in midfield as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Just now, jim said: Poor half, we seem to be playing with arrogance and complacency. Trying little tricks and sloppy passing. I thought that last match and against Burnley to a degree, but today I think we've looked just unfocused and with little energy. It's like we're not there. Picked up a bit the last 10 min mind. Barkley has been utter shite. And it's pretty clear we're missing Traore right, cause we are so one dimensional in where we're moving the ball.

bose Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I don't see Smith making subs at half time. He'll give El Ghazi 15 mins more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Don't think it was too bad of a half, even if underwhelming. Outside of having a decent amount of shots they haven't actually created anything too worrying, other end of the pitch has seen a combination of them in fairness being well organised and us having a couple of players well off the pace. El Ghazi might have played more games on the right but I think it's quite clear he's more effective generally on the left. Traore not only offers more of a balance to our play in that position but I think is just outright the better player so I wouldn't be surprised to see him come on at some stage (iN THe 91st MiNuTE hAhA).

lapal_fan Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Why is anyone suggesting subs at half time? It's not gonna happen unless there's an injury or tactical decision to be made. You take stock, look how it's going, discuss, agree a plan then give yourselves a few mins to change it up. Ridiculous to sub people because they've played ok in one half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepal_villan Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 That was really poor. Midfield needs adjustment. El Ghazi has been very wasteful. Bring on Sanson/Ramsey and Traore early 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 The midfield is weak. McGinn offering nothing. Grealish being doubled up on by two full backs and it takes 40 minutes for Smith to get him to switch to the right. We miss the unpredictable Traore and surely Sansom has to offer something better than what we have or otherwise why buy him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meregreen Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 AEG has always been a bit wimpy. Not really a player for a physical contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieVillain Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Very poor first half, El Ghazi having a mare, and a few others not much better, 2nd half can't be as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted February 3, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2021 This isn't terrible. It's just not near where we have been this season. Midfield is missing in action. We're not getting the ball to stick and we're not getting at West Ham, we're doing everything on front of them and ponderous with it. The sharpness isn't there and we look a little off colour again. Need to change things. But we won't because Smith doesn't change things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
