switters Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Wasn't terrible for first 40 mins but really lost it at the end of half. We did create a few chances but unfortunately they all fell to Moreno/Ramsey/Cash when we need them to be Olly or Diaby. Both Moreno and Ramsey are still clearly working their way back. Game still there for us, but need to up the ante quickly. Hopefully Bailey fit enough to come in for Cash at HT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allani Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Blimey this thread is almost as bad as the commentator on Optus Sport who keeps talking about all the chances Brentford have created - forgetting that every single one of them was given offside and so doesn't count. I sometimes wonder whether if someone caught the ball, ran the full length of the pitch with it tucked under their arm and then dropped it to have a shot that the keeper saves how long they would talk about it being a great save. IT DOESN'T COUNT!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the teams below us won so we need at least a point here. Man City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 weird, the Forest loss was their only win in 10 or so? Havent Brentford lost 4 of their last 5 or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been pretty poor just like Bournemouth I’d say we were the better team in the same way Arsenal were against us last week. No excuses for not converting our chances and Moreno is our Zinchenko today. Edited December 17, 2023 by Aston_Villan4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villaphan04 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 McGinn and Cash both on 4 yellows as well, something to watch in the 2nd half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted December 17, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2023 Ramsey needs to play to find some form, good run and shot at the end. Emery will tweak it at half time, had we been more clinical we'd be a bit annoyed at them getting a goal back. It'll be harder now as they'll try and defend this lead but we can still win this.

GeordieVillan Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 The right side isn’t working, but it isn’t Cash’s fault. Either Konsa off and Cash to right back or Cash off, and either Dendoncker or Bailey on… McGinn in the middle isn’t working either… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack creativity and speed of thought against the teams that set up that way. But we are also shit at reaching the dead ball follow ups. Need more life. They are not playing a low block. We have more possession and territory but they are not playing 10 behind the ball. They have created better chances than we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted December 17, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2023 Just now, NurembergVillan said: Missed the whole first half because I had surprise guests (actually friends, not lice or something). Disappointed to see we're getting beat away from home again. Without even watching it, I'd take a guess that the 352 thing is an issue because there's such a disparity between our left and right flanks. We've left Cash behind. Happy to be corrected though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you may have spotted the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted December 17, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2023 Think I'd just go for this and breing Bailey and Zaniolo on. Would be kinda suicidal if it doesn't work but Ramsey and Cash have been poor. The right side doesn't work at all with Konsa and Cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Wonder why Diaby has stopped running at defences. Far too cautious. Use your talent man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
