Doucoure is the whipping boy LOL . Take him out of the team today and Chelsea scores at least 3

I totally agree, he can be very poor in possession at times but doesn’t get the credit he deserves out of possession and getting us up the pitch. He’s become the new Keane.

Just up front we are FFFFED.If only we could have defensive coach and an attacking coach.

If Broja and Chermiti can chip in with goals then we’ll be fine.

 

[Simon Buttle]

That was winning football today with the missing ingredient being a couple of effecfive attacking players.

Sorry but I just can't have Dyche Zat whereas you clearly can, I'm happy we got a point today like I said, I just can't stand the way we go about things, I have watched better organised youth teams.

 

[RomanReigns]

Another great 0-0 win for dyche

Sorry but I just can't have Dyche Zat whereas you clearly can, I'm happy we got a point today like I said, I just can't stand the way we go about things, I have watched better organised youth teams.

Without stating the obvious, if you play for a win the best you can get is 3 points and next best is 1 point. If you play to draw like Dyche does the best you are ever going to get is 1 point....

Any new manager will show Dyche up instantly for the absolute cretin he is...

If those highlights were the best chances, we certainly didn't give them too many decent scoring opportunities.

Where's the man of the match thread. For me it's a toss up between pickford and doucoure. Doucoure was all over the pitch today and was tidy in possession most of the game. So I'd probably give it to him as pickford is just solid every week

Can tue wing be in there

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Just up front we are FFFFED.If only we could have defensive coach and an attacking coach.

Our attacking play won't be addressed unless the manager is changed.

We could sign 2 class wingers in January but they'd still be playing in this system.

Hopefully we can just get through till the summer and go from there.

I would have snapped your hands off for two points against Arsenal and Chelsea .Yes he plays a limited style but you have to say two well won points .If he picked the best team instead of his favourite team we would do better .I don't understand the stick Micko got throughout ,every pass that wasn't to feet he got a gasp -not fair .

 

[goldfinchmule]

This probably means Dyche till the end of the season,we wont get relegated now.new manager in the summer,wish him well but fcuk off.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Shame Mangala didn't get hold of his first chance like he did his last chance at the end there. Also good to see Ndiaye being much more involved. Oh and the little hissy fit from Doucoure at the Harrison chance.

 

[Davideeyore]

Go support another team you little rat

"you little rat"?

Wow.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Going Pickford for three MotM on the bounce (IIRC).
