Very attack minded line up, nice.
Where do we freshen up 2nd half?
It's probably B&B on for whomever, I wish he'd play them together in a good old 4-4-2.
I said the same thing about Beto not quite making that header first half... Small moments could have helped us (there were a couple of worldie blocks from Spurs) but they were better, too
The Spurs defence were outstanding, some of the blocks and saves made were top class. Another day, one of those opportunities goes in and suddenly it's a different game. That wasn't a 3 nil game, disappointing result obviously, but definite signs...
If you can't defend competently and you never look like scoring then you are not very good.
We lost 3 nil because we were rubbish in the areas that matter. I didn't like anything that we were trying to do. Pedestrian build up play and bullied...
Good post. Do not disagree with any of it. We are subpar in a lot of areas. I just hope that they get addressed sooner rather than later and that even just addressing one or two will make discernable improvements - though we'll need to address...
Leeds was grim, Villa uninspiring. Our average form during a soft run of fixtures and the positive Brighton game, are now in their correct light.
We're still a bottom half team:
- Strange, slow summer business
- Moyes perennial slow start
-...
Alcarez should have been on at half time. Our build up play is far too slow. In my opinion, both Beto and Barry need the ball, in front of them and balls into the box. We don't do either.
After an ok first half but poor second against Haaland fc we return to Hill Dickinson to take on Spurs .
They have a made a solid if not spectacular start to the season but will still cause us plenty problems.
We will welcome Jack back for this...
I was led to believe this lad plays off the shoulder but that completely straight run he made the other day directly into the centre half gave me second-hand embarrassment 😂
