Matched them first half but like all this season we fell apart in the 2nd. Klich big turning point in the 2nd half you can't miss the target from there. We weren't in that game 2nd half. once Rapha went off so did all our attacking. huffed and puffed but created nowt. Ok we have many injuries but something has to change fast. 1st goal very unlucky but the space Bowen had down our left hand corner was not good enough by a long way. 2nd goal we were caught something we usually score from yet we looked tired and out of ideas 2nd half. We just look a easy team to score against at present.
Credit where it's due, we were a million times better today. Creative, lively and closed them down continuously, but Meslier made some World class saves. He must be a 25m keeper!
At least we are above Burnley and Norwich. Burnley were really unlucky with that goal that was chalked out on 94 mins.
west ham let us play and we should have beaten them by half time.useless finishing bar one goal.gelhardt not given a chance .bielsa playing his favourites once more.can anyone explain how harrison was even signed ?.
Next 6 games are all winnable. Just need to start putting chances away. It really is that simple. Bamford has reverted to Championship Bamford. Rodrigo can't hit a barn door. Klich needs to learn to put his laces through the ball. James has never been prolific, Harrison looks bang out of form. Roberts never scores. Chances need to start hitting the back of the net and soon.
There’s only one person to blame and that’s Bielsa. He may like a small squad because it’s easier to manage but what he likes and what is required are two different things. If injuries and suspensions carry on like this we will be fielding our U23s If things don’t improve rapidly our best players will be offsky at the first opportunity.
There's only two players I am scared to lose. Phillips and Meslier. Raphinha not far behind. The rest are easily replaceable.
Saying this whilst I am angry but here goes. Tyler Roberts getbthe fk out of my club you are useless. Junior Firpo had his best game and still had a couple of positional issues but he will be good. Rodrigo ran his nuts off and deserves credit but yhe team are not creating the chances for a No9. Shackelton had a decent game until the last cock up when he missed the clearance allowingthe guy who shouldn't have been on the pitch, and never had a sniff all afternoon thanks to Cresswell and Cooper to score the winner. We played well we dominated possession, but we are short of quality having no Llorente, Koch, Bamford, Ayling and we deffo dont look like Sheff Utd last season. Positives because you need to see some: Cresswell isnt a flash in the pan he is the real deal. Meslier is awesome, James needs a run and some balls to run onto and for me he shouldnt have come off for a poor Jack. Raphinha is always going to be chopped down and out injured but when we have him he lights up the field. Rodrigo is a worker and deserves more. Shackgon cannot defend really but has a very decent attacking game. Klich could have scored a couple and will soon. I notice Forshaw was missing again, you know the midfield saviour. Half hour here half hour thnd them issing when needed.
