Sheaf Saint Posted 5 December, 2018 Share Posted 5 December, 2018 And that was a lovely through-ball from JWP to Gabbi. We're not looking too bad on the attack - just a shame our comedy defending has gifted them a goal advantage already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 5 December, 2018 Share Posted 5 December, 2018 Why do we insist on leaving their forwards so much space in our box? It seems none of our defenders are familiar with the concept of getting tight to their opponents. It's such a basic thing, I find it astounding that none of them do it.

Saint_clark Posted 5 December, 2018 Share Posted 5 December, 2018 We should look for a new number 1 in the summer if we stay up, whether that's Gunn or a new signing.

Saint_clark Posted 5 December, 2018 Share Posted 5 December, 2018 Great play by gabbi to hold it up, turn and lay it back to a spurs player instead of just passing it wide to Redmond in acres of space right in front of him.

5string Posted 5 December, 2018 Share Posted 5 December, 2018 Watching Rose, I can see why he's currently preferred over Bertrand for England - energetic, pushy. Bertie is a bit lethargic and lackadaisical. Hopefully Ralph can get some energy & desire back into him cos he's a really good player when he's up for it.

Baird of the land Posted 5 December, 2018 Share Posted 5 December, 2018 Not a bad performance against a very good team so far. Atrocious by yoshida for their goal. Midfield set up has generally worked. Though Cedric seems to think he is a right winger rather than a right back at times. Gabbi needs to be less wasteful when we do get him the ball.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 5 December, 2018 Share Posted 5 December, 2018 As it stands we’re bottom of the league. Not a bad performance. Davo tidy, Armstrong & PEH look lively, JWP ineffectual, Redmond & Gabbi wasteful. You can see why Yoshida has been left out early in season, for an experienced international, he’s been woeful lately.

Sheaf Saint Posted 5 December, 2018 Share Posted 5 December, 2018 HT 0-1. Could be worse. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Yep. It's not as though they are ripping us apart, but our marking is pretty dreadful. Nobody was watching Kane - you can't let a player like that just waltz into your 6-yard box like that and expect to get away with it. It's just basic stuff that can hopefully be coached out of them by RaHa. On the occasions we have attacked we haven't looked too bad. PEH's shot deserved better and not many keepers would have got the touch that Lloris did. Our overall play is far from awful, and certainly not worthy of being bottom of the league. It's our defensive naivety that costs us time and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Posted 5 December, 2018 Share Posted 5 December, 2018 To be honest, I don't think we're doing too bad. We're playing one of the best teams in the PL and keeping the score reasonable. Battling away in midfield and flashes of confidence from the strikers. Only a brilliant save by their keeper stopped us scoring. It's not all doom and gloom but can't get away from the comical defending. Anything better than 3-0 and I'll be happy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
