andym Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 In general play we've been fine. But yet again away lack of concentration in either box costs us Just constant individual errors all season resulting in soft goals conceded. And go to love Konsa rolling it into Cash edge of the box and going for the return (which was 100% the play) only to see Cash try and turn onto his right foot straight into a defender. How was he ever a winger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted December 17, 2023 Moderator Share Posted December 17, 2023 I think we identified in the summer that without Luiz we lacked someone who could really control and pass the ball in midfield and create around the opposition box - so we went out and bought Tielemans, he's our plan B when the creativity of Luiz isn't there - without both we're half the side we should be. We don't really have much in terms of options either - it'd be nice to bring a couple of midfielders on, but there's only Iroegbunam on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Zaniolo adds shots from outside the box which might be useful against the low block and Bailey adds both pace and the ability to beat his player. And a nice shot from outside. We'll have ways to chance the game in the second half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 The away form is a massive issue and we haven't got a solution to it. We have to reassess our expectations. Getting 2 points from Wolves, Forest, Bournemouth and Brentford is bang mid table form. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Lots of chances for Cash and Moreno, should have done better with some of them, Cash just not effective enough in an advanced role. Wank goal to give away, fingers crossed we can get out of here with a point at least, bloody hate Brentford away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Too many players off it today. I thought Moreno has looked lively going forward but the goal may not have happened if Digne had have been playing. Cash off for Bailey and maybe even take Ramsey off for Dendoncker to give ius a bit more strength in midfield and get Mcginn further forward.

Joshie2000 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Both our wing options don't know how to beat a man, been like it all season, so easy for the defender when they know your gonna cut in everything, there's no overlapping at all. Another shocking away performance, regardless of players out, the players that have come in need to be better, Ramsey is shocking and only gets away with it as he's one of our own We need a big 2nd half to turn this around, Brentford are not that good.

It's Your Round Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 We’ve not been terrible but we are really missing the incisive passing that Doug and Youri bring. You can almost see the rust on Ramsey and Moreno, which is to be expected given their injuries. A scrappy goal from Brentford but they’ve had some chances, as have we but we’ve been too ponderous and over played too often. It’s been fairly even and I hope that late goal gives us an injection of energy and creativity now, I don’t want us to falter to a 1 or 2 nil defeat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Copy of the forest game in every single way. You can't be this wasteful in front of goal and expect to get anything in this league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Players just stand there waiting for the ball to come to them thinking there won't be any pressure at all. Where's the urgency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 It's the type of game I'd bring Duran on for the chaos factor. He did alright when he came on vs Bournemouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lomaski Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I really don't see what Diaby brings to the team. Atrocious first touch and never takes on his man. For 50M we've been utterly ripped off!! 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
