Still trying to work out how we lost that and against ManU; very similar games. Degea and your goalie have to take the credit, but there was some shockingly wasteful play by us, woodwork, and yet another awful penalty (so easy to read Gundogs intentions). I didn't think any of the incidents you refer to warranted a red, an orange maybe - you forgot to add Lecelso chop from behind on Walker. Zinchenko was a silly boy and should have learnt from Magic the other night. Edited February 3, 2020 by Bredbury Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimo Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Can't believe we didn't get a striker in TFW .Also a defensive , holding midfielder , instead of 2 attacking midfielders . We already have lots of good AMFs .... Son , Ali , Lo Celso , Lamela , Moura and Sessegnon ( yes , Sessegnon , he's been played out of position so far ) . Lucky last night , but it was our turn for some . Hope Bergwijn continues that form , but not holding my breath . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby's lost a yard and cant do it to the degree he has done ..imo hence him being on the bench.. perhaps Sanchez can eradicate the stupidity in his game but it's been a constant since he joined us ... but we live in hope..

Re the Striker . Harry has , and probably will continue to , get injured regularly , so any new striker would expect to have a reasonable amount of full games up front by himself . He'd have been guaranteed at least 2 months of starts if he had signed in January . If the new striker was good enough , Mori might have started with 2 up front when Harry came back . Another obvious alternative would have been to get someone who can play attacking midfielder and no 9 . Giroud ?? I think Sanchez's good points ( pace , scrambling tackles ) outweigh his bad ones and should be kept as bench cover for Vert and Toby . Aurrier's mistakes are of more concern to me . We need a defensive , holding midfielder in the same mold as Dier but faster and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 It was a good game, but we didn't really play up to our best, it was a bit lucky for us to win when you look at the stats. Bergwijns goal was amazing, but too early to tell if he will continue his form. Anyway he is not available for the FA cup tomorrow. We need our best available team tomorrow, I am sure Mourinho understand it's our only chance to win anything this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT his concentration lapses seemingly IN EVERY game WILL start costing us as for a holder.. no need for pace though it wouldnt go amiss.. just v v good distribution, got the impress poch signed ndombele with the intention of doing a holders role... could well be wrong bout that one tho... shame bout dier.. such sloppy passing in every game , he' suffered with longish time injuries so game time might help... he's still young enuf to be able to get it together...pretty sure mori is a fan there were strong rumors of him wanting him at utd... but time will tell.

3 minus 2 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) 1~1 @half time the score being even Steven's.. the play is far from it we do look threatening going forward but overall they are FAR better than us. running through the midfield at will and constantly exposing our rhs .. surprise surprise, if they were more clinical in front of goal . they could have had a hatfull. hoping jose sorts us out second half... but tbh we look out of salts .

3 minus 2 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) up to them scoring their 2 we were v much second best. the goal and/ or the realization we could lose this v v easily, the 2nd goal ?seemed to spur us on and from that mo on we were the better team. hapi days . Norwich next up... oh a top 4 club has to be lookin at Redmond he's added consistency to his game..which IMO puts him v much in the elite prem player class oh and when mori departs.. i'de LOVE to have southampton's manager as our next manager.. he had them really well sorted...EVERYBODY knew their jobs and stuck to them and overall played v well , losing 2 night. IMO theyde be justified in feeling they were hard done by Edited February 5, 2020 by 3 minus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"He's suffered with longish time injuries" injuries are not the problem,he actually had his appendix removed last season of which there was complications which affected his immune system, so much so that he had to have another operation in the summer, could be that he is still affected now and might never fully recover.

Carrick was another.. matics another. so maybe he's worth sticking with until a better opt becomes available... be interesting to see how benteleb does at Newcastle...
