Way more shots and edging possession too. Surprising as I expected you to beat them comfortably. They had a better first half, fell apart in the 2nd for a period and then we fell apart after. We absolutely can't defend like this every game though, were looking really good going forward at times but at the back we're a mess. Dallas is really struggling I think. Hes a right winger converted to LB because we didn't have any other options and he can run for days but that's not enough in the prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 At the end of the day all that matters is 3 points. Doesn't matter how you get them. As long as you get them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I think it's better for us that this game had a winner, at least it keeps one of them below us going into the Sheffield United game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that Bielsa is rigid in the way he wants to play but I do think it will cause you some problems. Thought you were a lot less crisp trying to play through Fulham press than at Liverpool.

They've out-performed their xG quite substantially in both games. They'll be playing a very dangerous game if thats their plan.

DCJonah Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I've seen nothing so far to warrant the hype. They will be in a relegation battle. They'll probably have enough to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 They're shipping a lot of goals. I think they will stay up but they're definitely being overrated by the media and indeed many football fans in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I have no problem with them being heralded as exciting; If they are consistently involved in games we no regard for defending then they will be. I just hate this wankfest over how great they are and could they gatecrash Europa etc. They will do well to stay up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
