c1982 Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Doucoure - the whole team was better with him on the pitch. Mina made us look a lot better too. I thought Tosun had a decent game but would still happily see him sold and a pacier player brought in. Matt and pete0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 I went with Mina but coukd have gone with Olsen or Doucoure. I just thought he brought a different mentality to the pitch and I expect it was exactly the reaction Carlo wanted with the sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggytop Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Doucoure gets my vote, drove us forward and solid defending, oh and got the winner, Olsen solid throughout apart from not getting down to their goal. Mina solid and settled the Keane down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Kept us in the game 1st half, could have gone in 3 - 1 down. Some good showing from all the sub's but Olsen was my motm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWooney Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 We were shite, Olsen did his job well, Doucoure as I'd expect improved us when he came on. Coleman when we were attacking was pretty involved and I thought Gomes was generally alright. Tosun also took his goal and the offside one very well. Can't be arsed to cast a vote! Let's hope we play better in round 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own I suppose. I thought his performance was typical of the teams on the day in that he started well in the first 15 minutes but was then woeful for the rest of the match We lost control in midfield because Gomes and Davies were sloppy with their passing and were not tracking back or showing for the back four We had no presence in midfield until Doucoure came on and I think both Gomes and Davies showcased exactly why neither are fit to be in the starting XI Bailey and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 I thought both Davies and Gomes were well off the pace. They didn't get near the Rotherham players for most of the game. They were made to look slow both physically and mentally. Gomes was without doubt the better of the two but I think that was because he showed up in moments. He would do something every 10-15 minutes that made you remember he was on the pitch. Davies largely did something every 10-15 minutes that made you wish he wasn't on the pitch.

Neither takes control of the game and the communication between them seems really poor. I haven’t got them to hand but there’s analysis of their positioning when playing as a pair and it’s not pretty!

Both in a starting position to win the initial header and both shirk it in different ways. Davies then jogs after him and then when he gets the chance to get the block in he misses that too. I also remember one of the chances before, think its the one Digne gets done on the inside and Olsen saves twice. Gomes may as well have a zimmerframe. He just jogs around as well and he is still ambling away from goal when the shot is saved my Olsen and goes towards the byline. He isnt even watching.

He isnt even watching. @2:40 Gomes is the one who doesn't make enough of an effort. Don't see how any blame goes on Davies, he was never in a position to win the header, chases the danger and manages to apply pressure and get a touch, but unfortunately the touch takes it to Olosunde who scores. All on Gomes that one, he wasn't even half arsed in trying to win the header. If he applies more pressure/makes more of an effort to win the initial header he helps prevent that goal. I don't see what Davies could have done? (@2:40) Think Gomes just trusts Digne to do be able to do his job, there's no reason for him to run until Digne fecks up. Davies and Coleman both get caught watching the ball rather than checking to see if they have left a free man though which lets them have the second pop. That said if it went in Digne and Olsen would be much more culpable. Digne is turned far too easily and Olsen should be able to do better with that shot. Pickford on here has got moaned about for not being able to steer away better shots than that. (@1:30) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A solid performance imo. I didn’t say Doucoure was the only reason we got a grip in midfield but he was a damn sight more effective than either Davies or Gomes combined Davies was definitely the worse of the two but Gomes didn’t exactly cover himself in glory either. I’ve come to expect that level of performance from Davie but suppose I was more disappointed in Gomes given the way he started the game and his last 2 substitute cameos 6 people picked him as MotM so it’s all about opinions but I just felt he went missing after the first 15 minutes Palfy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
