Surprised to see so many criticising Slater, thought he worked hard and was one of the few outlets going forward. If anyone's been anonymous it's Oscar.. Tetteh tracking back well and helping to defend but Oscar nowhere to be seen if he isn't flopping over to win a free.
And for the criticism of Woods, his set pieces have been great and led to our goal so not useless either.
we've done well to go in 1 1 - Norwich on top because we are ineffective in midfield - however we're not out of this by a long way
I'm amazed its 1-1 at half time. Norwich playing with a lot of energy but so far, little finesse. We are being over run in midfield and the ball is pinging around in our box. Changes needed and we have to be better at ball retention, otherwise nothing in this for us.
Yeh hes picked up the scraps and looked to be the most involved for us. We do need to change something though because I think Norwich have showed they can and probably will score if things continue this way.
Slater “working hard” but can’t hold the ball whatsoever and his touch is really out of whack. Lost the ball maybe 3 times on completely his own doing. Had enough now.
Every goal kick we've had, has ended up with us losing possession in our own half in two passes or less.
I'll take being level at half time, shades of Shota ball in that first half, not really sure what the game plan is. No out ball, limited width and nothing doing through the middle. Subs will be key
Not a bad half IMO, yes, Norwich has had the ball but has done very little with it as far as goal-scoring chances. As the half wore on they became less dominant, but not a bad game to watch.
That's Oscar every game. If he doesn't score, he doesn't impact the game. Big Ben has been a bit rusty but some nice touches and another assist
In a game where our whole teams struggled with the ball, Slaters energy and hard work is about the best thing we have.
One good corner. **** me, give him the Ballon d’Or. He’s absolutely bang average, mate. A poor man’s Seri. The midfield looks weak as pish.
We're getting out-muscled all over the pitch. When we get hold of the ball no one is looking up to find a clinical pass - not even Seri. That said, nobody's really finding space upfront to be passed to. Only good thing was that I had Greaves at 50/1 first goal.
