Yes lets be terrified of a player who hasnt played for about 6 months and spends his free time sucking helium. Terrifying.

Whats the point of having pace in Bolasie and Walcott when you dont actually know how to use it effectively.

Exactly, the RS are a crap passing team, they're not good in possession either. They're a ball over the top counter attacking team, so I can sort of see why we're blocking that avenue for them, but would they be knocking it around so confidently if we had two pacey wingers stuck in their half waiting for any mistake.

It's allardyce all over tbh, I don't hate him, but this is why he's so limited, especially against top teams, he's too scared to try and win a football match.

 

[Pettifogger]

We drew the first half lads

Not really getting the complaints that we’ve been toyed with, disparity really isn’t that bad. They’ve been mediocre too, and not for lack of trying

 

[bluesb1970]

Before a kick we were terrified of them.
Man City results didn't help.
We've setup to be rigid, to not allow space.
When you press, you can allow that space behind.
All that has meant we're too deep, we've shown too much respect to a side without Salah/Firmino and their confidence has grown.

Second half, keep the shape for 5 minutes, then push forward.

.....or, stop giving the bloody ball away so cheaply!!

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

I don't know where this second string BS comes from either, most of those are regulars and Mane is there.

Bring Gueye on please, Sam.

Was thinking that. Aren't they only really missing Firmino, Salah, possibly Can and Lallana if they were fit? And we're missing Gueye and Sigurdsson.

 

[CarlitoBrigante]

We've been awful but for some strange reason I think we're going to win this. Niasse to score a late winner

 

[yakublue]

on a positive note, schneiderlin playing quite well

 

[royvernon39]

Scherderlein, Rooney and Davies... Less credible than a CSI script.

How did Fat Sam think that those three could boss a game?

 

[Saint Domingo]

We have the worst defensive structure in the league. A high line with none of our forwards pressing.

 

[IRO1977]

It's remarkable how annoying Van Djik's face suddenly looks in those red pyjamas of theirs

 

[Eggs]

..we are poor. I know a lot is made of Allardyce and Lee organising a team but we really lack organisation. We’re not even able to get stuck in and disrupt them.

We'd better get him on the pitch. And Gueye too.

 

[marnie]

34% possession. FFIN disgrace.

.....or, stop giving the bloody ball away so cheaply!!

Will never happen with Rooney and Bolasie on the pitch.

 

[Saint Domingo]

We’ve gone out there utterly in awe of players most of whom will be at Newcastle or West Ham in the near future. They’ve been poor yet we’ve made them look decent.
