If we had put those chances away, we could of won quiet comfortably .
Richarlison could - no, should - have scored at least one of his gilt edge opportunities yesterday, which I believe would have changed the entire complexion.
Instead, we were forced into what's becoming the common tendency of having to rush in the last ten to twenty minutes.
I thought it was a poor performance overall, and that they took the piss a bit with how they were popping it around, whereas we only really got on the ball whenever they gave it up cheaply.
At the same time, we're 17th in April for a reason, and it did feel like a decent result when the final whistle blew. I thought we needed to get three points from these two home games, so can't complain really, as it's much more about results than performances at the moment.
Ditto. Looking at the positives, we did not give up and showed enough character to drag out a result - a point is a point and may be a crucial one.
Even a mere few weeks ago, I felt we would have probably sunk without a trace, so the fight in the squad is becoming more evident and it's sorely required.
However, we looked poor overall: disjointed; lack of composure on the ball and an inability to regularly string a series of passes together.
For far long, we played too deep and the midfield were easily overrun. With hindsight, it's easy to say it was a poor selection, but it succeeded against United*
I still try to truly understand how Lampard wants us to play as we lack a style or identity, and I don't see clear and obvious avenues of building up towards a goal.
How often do put a ball across the box or move the ball into opportunities to shoot? The players seem to dawdle on the ball without knowing what to do with it.
It pains me to say it as I think he's fluffin' rubbish, however I agree with the shouts that we look better with Rondon and Richarlison on the left.
*Perhaps that's a testament to how rubbish United were, in a game we didn't particularly shine either.
