briny_ear Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Would be nice to sneak a goal before half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Absolutely shocking performance so far. I really can’t believe how poor we’ve been recently. 1 shot against their 12, it’s appalling. Edited February 13, 2021 by VillaFaninLondon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted February 13, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 13, 2021 We haven't been good this 45 no disputing that but some seriously OTT reactions in here. Game is still there to be won, we will be better second half for sure. Insert "wouldn't be hard" responses. Brighton are on good form, they've some decent players this was never an easy game, we've made it hard for ourselves but we are still in it and wouldn't bet against us pinching it. Big 45 mins to come. Barkley for Nakamba for me and push McGinn forward a little with Nakamba sitting deep. Targett and Martinez our best players so far, time for others to step up in the second half. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skruff Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Barkley is like Hourihane without the free kicks at the moment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 As bad a 45 mins as I’ve seen from us in a while. Barkely looks done before he even started in this match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted February 13, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 13, 2021 Barkley has had the ball four times - three times he's lost it and once he played a bad pass to Luiz that Luiz managed to recover and take a shot from. That's the strong part of his game, the bit that makes up for his lack of workrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Barkley has been no worse than others but probably the only change we could make. That was shocking stuff. I'd imagine Smith will give them 10 mins or so to see if they can change it. The fact we aren't losing is a huge bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I think Graham Potter has bettered us this half. tactically they’ve nullified us and put us under real pressure. A change needed at halftime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted February 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2021 Well... that was a tough half to watch. Let’s hope that’s our rubbish half, and the better half is yet to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Too many not pulling their weight, Barkley the main culprit. He's made more passes to the opposition than our players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
