crispeduk 282 Posted July 7, 2020 Agree a bit of hardcase defending wouldn't go amiss for us (but I suspect two yellow cards might happen quite quickly if it looks like being effective), but not sure I could put up with watching a set of lumps all season. They're down there with us for a reason and they got spendy to do it too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,599 Posted July 7, 2020 Nice to score finally. Some excellent examples from Steipermann and Hernandez as to why they're not really Premier League players though, decision making is woeful at points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hepphep 175 Posted July 7, 2020 Pretty nice game so far. Have this happy feeling like something that we had last season is now coming back. More confidence and creativity than lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,219 Posted July 7, 2020 We need to stop those crosses coming in. Sooner or later Dawson will be on the end of it, not Doucoure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rock bus 851 Posted July 7, 2020 Somehow we’re going to cut out their crosses and stop giving them set pieces or I fear the worse. We definitely could do with Hanleys no nonsense defending..we were much better at defending them with him in. i do fancy us to score again though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vos 155 Posted July 7, 2020 38 minutes ago, Clint said: Another suicidal pass from Klose that lead to the free kick. We all know we can’t defend set-pieces so why try and be clever there? Just put your foot through it. An appalling goal to give away. As Clint says Klose in that position should have put his foot through it. Suicidal pass and then poor free kick to give away. Inevitable from the set piece. A row of about 7 defenders who were static as Dawson came in for a more or less free header. Despite this same tactics continue. Slow square passing across the pitch and you would never believe we are desperate for points. When defending a corner why do we not leave two players up on the half line !! Pukki looks shot, but at least Vrancic is finding some decent passes. I would like to be positive but we have little to offer against some very mediocre opposition. We are back to "Farke style" when he first arrived. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ged in the onion bag 855 Posted July 7, 2020 Steipermann, dear oh dear!!! Why do we always have to carry someone? Could have had rupp in midfield and Vrancic further forward... or Martin or Idah instead of Stieps.... instead so far he's been as bad as Drmic and Duda as expected. Passes for 3 misplaced passes 8, Fouls gained 3, fouls committed 6, mis controls lots.... headers won 0... Hopefully off soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
