Hojbjerg on for Bergwijn. Not sure how he got hurt enough to go off, to be honest. Looked fairly minor, though obviously a foul or two.
Ndombele, not content with giving chances away has now added hospital passes to his repertoire... When you is playing as piss poorly as him you really shouldn't draw attention to yourself with a bleached head
Awful player. Needs getting rid of asap. Can’t keep him just because he cost a lot. Get rid, take the huge loss and move on.
This stinks of a team where the lineup picked is generally ok in terms of attack minded and creative players but a team that also doesn’t do enough training in actually being the attacking side. I know it’s so, so early but Nuno ain’t the one. Nice guy, painstakingly boring manager. I’m gonna hate this season, I just know it.
Maybe it’s just me, but since the city game it’s felt a bit like the players are a bit bored, and aren’t really trying/dont really care. Almost like they feel that it’s Mourinho all over again, and perhaps aren’t buying into Nuno’s style or team choices.
Nuno was 9th choice and it shows, thankfully the short contract will mean he won’t be around long with his boring dull football.
1-1 HT. Poor. Started well enough and played it around competently, though we failed to create anything. Our goal got them to play though, which resulted in our lack of creativity being constantly exposed. We need to stop using the 4-3-3. We don't have the players for it. Ndombele isn't going to put in the work to be in that midfield 3, for a start. He might be able to do a job further forward when he's 100%, but even that's doubtful.
Doherty had no idea what was going on around him. Truly appalling, even for him. I hate being so critical of players but we have several that are seriously awful
