Class goal not much you can do about that one.

Punch the ball away would be one thing you could do. 

As another said, however, Krul is human. He makes very few mistakes but is bound to make one every now and again.

If we are Lucky 

[City 101 83]

If you didn’t have to score we would be world beaters as it is we just look so toothless it’s unbelievable.

[JF 694]

Slow and pedestrian with next to no goal threat. Without Emi we are utterly average going forwards. 

[Olano 100]

On the positiv Max is playing well

[Ken Hairy 3,760]

Hernandez on for Placheta please

How was Hourihane not booked there? The cynical foul, kicking the ball away? What’s he got to do to get a card?!

This is why we get frustrated with referees isnt it............... nothing difficult about it, simple yellow card..........and it isn't given ;(

 

[Making Plans 936]

Same problems as the last 3 games - no urgency, poor passing, no running off the ball, no creativity, no shots and no goals

Apart from that we're doing ok

[Downloads 35]

I don't get Farke's fascination with Rupp.

 

I'm dying for Sorrenson to play there

WE HAD A SHOT ON TARGET

 

I REPEAT

 

3 MATCHES IN AND WE HAVE A SHOT ON TARGET

 

Other than that should be going in 0-0. Very Krul ending.

Don't be a pr*ck tease. Don't ask us if you should turn off if you are not going to pay attention to our unanimous answer.

[cambridgeshire canary 6,680]

So, here we are. one shot on target in 3 matches. Against one of the best in the divison away from home. A team who have won the most matches this season of any team after going ahead

[GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,735]

Buendia was always going to be a big miss but Farke has turned it into a bigger one than it needed to be by replacing him with Placheta in these two games

[hepphep 175]

Even though being that one gifted goal behind, I think it has been decent performance so far. We seem more dangerous offensively today, just need to get shots on goal. Kenny's movement and workrate opens lots more space for Pukki and Cantwell.

Placheta seems bit lost somehow.

We will score today!

Reasonable finish, but the chance was presented to them on a plate.

[Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,251]

Very average.

Hard to believe the immense difference Buendia makes. Without him, were a top 10 championship side. 

[Ward 3 371]

Hernandez on for rupp, cantwell behind pukki. McLean could make an appearance. He's been awful

[Orly 277]

I'm a wholehearted supporter of Farke ball...

 

but when we're one down and there's 15 seconds left of extra time, just get a couple of bodies in the box and #@'/ing lump it, instead of going backwards, almost entirely pointlessly.  (I say 'almost' as I accept that retaining possession means we can't be 2-0 down...)

Here we go 😆

Been a very even game, we’ve shaded the possession, they’ve looked slightly more dangerous but didn’t manage to create a whole lot.

That Krul has now gifted them goal is nothing against the performance.

Why you think that now renders us play-off fodder I am not sure? 

Let’s not forget we’re missing our star player in Buendia too. 

[keelansgrandad 6,679]

So we are a one man team? The Missing Link was fossilised remains not a footballer.

[hogesar 9,618]

We've played well. Created about as much as Swansea. Much better than Tuesday. But I know how people can't handle emotions during a game so I'll let everyone have their little cry.

There’s a few having poorer games than Placheta.

Lots of intricate play but no threat.

This is it. Zero threat over playing and nobody really taking any responsibility. Several times we try and find pukki with a slide rule pass when a shot could have come. 
 

can’t see us scoring, this one is already gone. We are predictable, teams have worked us out. 
 

We have no plan B or alternative plan from the start!

We’ve played average at best.

And even when Pukki get's the ball he fires it wide. I miss the old Pukki..

[Pukki Blinders 96]

Buendia missing is seriously costing us. There's so much space at times in the Swansea final third but we lack someone with that vision or urgency to make something happen. Swansea really are nothing special based off what we've seen so far but our front 4 just don't seem to have the creativity to break them down.

What a frustrating way to concede though. With 3 minutes to go til half-time you would've just been saying don't do anything stupid, get in at the break 0-0 and with the players we can bring off the bench there's no doubt we can cause problems in the 2nd half. Of all the players to make a mistake it would be Tim Krul. Going to be a real uphill struggle from here on out. 

[ricardo 7,348]

Far too content to play backwards and sideways.

[ged in the onion bag 854]

Platcheta is just not ready for this level....

Pukki is not Pukki anymore...

McLean has just conceded possession at will.   

Skipp magnificent!

Q.   Will Farke react now?   Onel and Adam in for PP and McLean or Rupp.

Are you watching through those yellow glasses again? We all know you have never criticised even when we lost 7-1 at home.

You are not a better supporter. You just can't see the wood.
