Nothing wrong with how we set up imo, basically only two chances for Jesus which were proper chances, one of which was running away from him and the other was forced onto his left foot. We weren't decisive enough when we had a chance to counter, but perhaps to be expected when our biggest goal threat is injured.

Disagreed with taking off Davies & Iwobi, and Pickford not keeping out the third killed the game off but we were organised defensively and limited them to shots out the box.

We showed more aggression and more organisation than previous showings at Goodsion, it still wasn't enough but it was an improvement.

They are just a lot better than us at pretty much every aspect of the game. Got to hope that DCL and Allan can have a big influence in the cup.
 
Pickford was decent though, wasn't he? I can't be having the blame being on him for the third goal. He should get more on it, but our defence (super Mick Kegger who has been abysmal lately and Godfrey who someone called 'one of the best CBs in Europe'!! the other day) and Sigurdsson let a world-class player waltz through and have a shot on his best foot 20-yards from goal.

Olsen had conceded 12 goals in 4 games - he's not the answer.

The club need to go and buy a goalkeeper in the summer.

Surely you're making that up Toff???
 
I thought we were ok tonight. It's clear that City are superior to us and yet for most of the game we were in with a good chance of taking something from it. Anyone criticising him tonight is just simply wrong.

No he wasn't decent. And I love that statement that you can't blame him for the 3rd but he should have got more on it. Brilliant.
 
Its a bad spell both with results and performances. We arent as good as I want us to be and thats frustrating.

The players are letting him down very badly and he needs to be allowed to have a massive overhaul. They are in danger of allowing another season to unravel and the manager needs backed.

The problem is conceding goals is not a good metric for keeper performance. Olsen gave up 4 against Spurs but was miles better on that night than Pickford was tonight. Olsen had no real chance on either Fulham goal at the weekend.

Honestly all things considered our defense was fine tonight. The Mahrez goal wasn't great but that's a belter and it happens. The deflection happens. A shot pretty much down the center from outside the box should not.
 

Why is anyone arsed about our home record this season ffs?! I've been attending home matches since 1994 and prior to covid I could count on one hand the total number of fixtures I'd missed in all that time, so believe me I understand the importance of them in normal circumstances. Right now though, with no fans in attendance? There's absolutely no significance to home games at all!

Seriously people if you're going to cry yourself to sleep tonight and wet the bed at least do it over something that actually matters...........
 
Hope so
Cant be doin with you moanin all saturday night.

1-3 to Everton

I was 2 months old when we last won something, and I watch a hell of a lot of good teams play football. I do actually know that teams should have more than one way of attacking.

I know it's a process, but it's been 14 months. And i still can't tell you what our plan C is as a path to goal. It was there early in the season, but has been missing since October, and I'm not someone who thinks we've played awfully in that run either, we've had good games.

I say plan C, because our plan B is set-plays. Yet, we have won four corners across our last five league matches, and conceded about 35 in that same run. So we're not even getting up the pitch enough to win regular corners.

We have conceded corners in the first two minutes of each one of our last five games too.

No one is forcing him to keep Sigurdsson on the pitch.
