Bailey Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 That was a shocking half. That midfield is a disgrace but yet again they are outnumbered. Why we keep trying to play through is beyond me. Kean has looked good, and he is linking the play well, DCL on the other hand couldnt trap a bag of cement. Holgate has shown more fight, but he is getting caught out too. Think he should have had more responsibility for their goal but it's hard to tell. Mina is looking a shade of the player he did under Silva. I'm guessing he must have an injury of some kind lingering on but it's not good enough. Digne has put in a couple of nice crosses but defensively he is getting roasted by fucking Snodgrass. Coleman is quiet, Walcott might as well be wearing claret and blue and Bernard just isn't getting enough right despite getting into good positions. We have Pickford to thank for not going in behind. That last save was class and even the Haller chance, he did really well to stay where he was and stand big. Many other keepers would have come out to close and left themselves vulnerable.

Sibdane Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Despite conceding a goal earlier (which he couldn't help), Pickford has been our best player and is keeping us in the game. Midfield needs to get into gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibdane Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 I'm absolutely shocked that Theo has managed to stay on while Bernard comes off. I don't like that sub at all, but I guess time will tell if that turns out to be the right choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only think we will go more on the counter and therefore longer. We seem to be sitting deeper but then again Holgate tried forcing a ball through midfield which was intercepted. Walcott with two awful passes in the final third. He is still on the pitch because he can get into them positions but he has to do much better.

Bailey Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Dom with a great touch and turn but then holds on for it for far too long so that all of his options are gone and then he tries to force a pass that wasn't on. It's the type of move which has symbolised our attacking play today. Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
