Shroppie Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 (edited) So **** at the back, weak in midfield and missing scoring chances at the other end. Just the same as last season then..With probably the first two choices for CB and two likely choices in midfield out. Not surprising really. But I do agree about missed chances. I thought we played Austin because he puts chances away. Can't think of any other reason. Get Gabbiadini on.

Edmonton Saint Posted 18 August, 2018 Author Share Posted 18 August, 2018 4 players booked. We can't get close to them so we resort to giving away fouls.

St Marco Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 Very poor performance both tactically and mentally. They are 1st to every ball and look like they want it more. Stupid tackles going in. My main concern is we don't seem to be communicating with each other. There isn't any leadership. The defence don't know what they are being asked to do. Hughes needs to put a rocket up their ass.

Saintandy666 Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 Same story as last year so far. No bloody goals at all. Everton looks miles ahead of us. Will be intersting to see how we compete against more obvious bottom half teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 Hoedt is utter ****e....but most of the muppets on here constantly whine about Stephens. Hoedt is an utter liability. Not impressed with Hughes in the slightest. Overall a season of struggle coming up. Our midfield of Romeu and Lemina is shocking and Everton are carving us open because of these 2 t**ts. Where is Yoshi? Our best defender. Welcome to my world. People, sorry, dinnies on still defend hoedt and actually think he’s good, or that he’ll getbetter.

striker Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 Our defence (including the defending midfield) is poor. No communication and we just look lazy. I think our attacking side looks good though (again including the mid). We have created 4 or 5 very good chances, and are just a bit unlucky so far.

Pamplemousse Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 Vestergaard is going to be an essential part of this team, because he's the only one who can defend. Get him and Yoshida or Bednarek forming a partnership. Need Armstrong on for JWP who has been poor, take Austin off too for a midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 Turd again at 2 down not really sure how we respond. If we go more attacking we will let a **** load of goals in. If we try to tighten up at the back we will create nothing up front. We are a team that are screwed as soon as we concede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
