We haven't scored 2 goals in a game since qpr home. Playing for a draw is the best we can hope for.
 
I feel like in defence we're much too passive until they get into our half. We stand off them and allow them to play their passes in the middle of the park and suddenly we're defending dangerous situations. We've seen it less today as we've had plenty of the ball, but Berahino has been dropping into acres of space in the middle time and time again, nobody is getting tight, and he's not the only one. This can only be a manager's decision, because as a player you always want to press and get the ball back.

I enjoyed the first half as we were controlling the ball and creating a few chances. But the second half, while feeling quite similar in play, feels 10 times worse because we've conceded. Suddenly everything seems laboured.

And there we go... 2-0.
 
We have had one shot of note, Shelvey from 25 yards that went wide. I'm ****ing sick of this **** football were being served up.
 
We have a FB nightmare on the left wing in Montero and yet we labor to get him in the game, we don't even look for him as the first option. I don't get this. Taylor also closes out is space too oftern by run ahead of him.
 
"It's about defending as a team, because that's something I feel we have missed in the past, and I think we have improved in that area.
"Now I am trying to get some attacking work done as well."
