Only one goal conceded in 2 PL games under Javi Gracia. Small sample size of matches but that's a noticable improvement after shipping goals for fun under the previous incumbent. There's now a full week of training ahead at TA when hopefully the new manager can finally get down to some hard graft after 3 games in quick succession since his appointment.
Saw this on ja, our supreme leader is famous. comment by salonika73 (U4688) posted 6 hours, 7 minutes ago Links…… use Twitter. It’s worth it just for the links. Find Epl kingdom . Also look for users Elland Back and lufcstream
@ellandback do you post links on Twitter to the streams? I’d be careful mate if people are now suggesting you to others as a source you could end up in bother. The police started a huge crackdown at the start of 2023
Pm me any time you’d like a thorough explanation and have half an hour of your life spare that you won’t ever get back. Or perhaps just if you’re struggling to sleep?
True, we were poor at the back under Skubala. Small sample size as you say but just for context, under javi, one game was against the bottom club and the other against a side who’d scored once in their previous 5 games. In between we shipped two against Fulham reserves.
Fulham reserves who played mitrovitch. A better striker than ours and his link up play was excellent.
Indeed… doesn’t distract from the point though does it. Jambo was accentuating the positives that we only lost by one goal…. But it was to a side that haven’t been able to score against anyone else - and we probably should have been 2 down inside 30 minutes.
There were plenty of positives from yesterday's game which means we have lots to work with before we face Brighton on Saturday. Of course Javi and his coaches will also address where we can further improve defensively, but I'm sure the focus will be more about doing what we did well better and then the results will follow. For what it's worth a point next week will be a decent result.
You’re right. Our best chance of staying out of the bottom three will be a run of scoreless draws and maybe one or two one nil wins
yep Brighton are a better side than Chelsea. Whatever Javi says, the defensive improvement actually happened a while ago... (Apart from the Manc games), We’ve given up very few chances in 2023. The problem is sides have been taking an unnatural proportion of them. The more conservative you are the harder it is to create… which we’ve also witnessed.
