keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted December 8, 2019 We just don't get it. Crowd cheers when we get a free kick but when do we ever look like scoring from set pieces? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,314 Posted December 8, 2019 We were playing well enough then totally switched off after half time. Its not that we are not capable of playing well enough but they seem to have these lulls and you can;y come back and win games at this level like you can in the champ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,314 Posted December 8, 2019 Farke has to take some blame here. The first half performance on saturday and the second half today both completely unacceptable and he has not had the players fired up enough in either of them. First half they were today and the difference was clear. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,314 Posted December 8, 2019 Just now, All the Germans said: I'm not doubting that they have progressed, but how have we gone backwards? Because we are owned by selfish owners who wish to run us as some kind of social experiment and also because you cannot recover from these spells where you ship goals and are not focussed in the premier league. We did it last season but our firepower masked things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) No point in getting worked up about the inevitable any more. Very sad, simply not good enough, definitely not acceptable. The lack of investment in the squad over the summer was shocking and yes Farke also has to take some of the blame for the complete no shows, and the constant and repeated school boy errors in defence.

kick it off 1,948 Posted December 8, 2019 Also... **** var, that was a red if we’d done it. That 3rd goal was correct decision but I was still waiting for var to **** us with it anyway. First time it hasn’t all season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted December 8, 2019 Not good enough. It is time for DF to own up and say he got it wrong second half. He needs to find a way of getting us to keep up the tempo after any break. If we lose to a team who are dominating us then fair enough. But we were streets ahead of them 1st half and threw it all away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orly 277 Posted December 8, 2019 My toys are primed for lift off from the pram. I expect them to enter geostationary orbit and stay there until we stop conceding soft goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carra Rud 17 Posted December 8, 2019 Sack the cook, sack the board, sack everyone! Ridiculous result. Comfortable 1st half thrown away. Going down 100%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canarywary 104 Posted December 8, 2019 No cutting edge in final 3rd AT ALL. Vrancic added some incision to our play in the first half and looked more keen to get it forward than our usual sideways style, but then 2nd half everyone, including him just looked aimless. Cantwell looked good when coming on and I think looks more hungry than Buendia at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BaltimoreBird 127 Posted December 8, 2019 If Cantwell's brief performance doesn't prove he needs to start over Buendia I don't know what would. Emi is a lot of flash with no end product at this level. Not sure if I heard McLean's name today either. I'm up for Stiepermann coming back into the side if it means we get some strength and muscle into the front end. We're far too lightweight.

unique 434 Posted December 8, 2019 The chronic injuries early season prevented the team from getting good results which in turn has led to a complete loss of confidence .It has also prevented the team from playing the type of football that seemed to come naturally last season. It hasn’t helped that players like Stiepermann, Leitner and Trybull have been found wanting in the PL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
