The more concerning thing now is we create **** all, under walter we were guilty of missing clear chances, now bugger all.
I think thats a bit kneejerk. We created a lot of chances as recently as stoke. Yesterday was poor but let's not go over the top.
You're told to head it back towards where in came from on the assumption the keeper is sprawling. He kinda did it right but the keeper didn't move so much and just a straight bullet would have done the job. Truth is, a solitary header on target, from a centre half in the 83rd min, in a game near 70% possession is just not good enough. That's not down to Alfie.
He’d just taken a man on and got past him not long before that ball. But I agree about the cross, great technique to pull that off and there probably should have been or at least deserved for there to be someone attacking that area but I always used to say the same about Robbo, as good as his whipped in balls looked they were 9/10 to absolutely nobody.
He’s experienced now. And I still maintain sacking him was a ludicrous footballing decision. I reckon he and Acun must not have been singing off the same page.
It’s bollocks, if he’s fit enough to be In the squad, play him in one of our biggest games of the season.
I don't get this at all. If the science tells them he's at risk of injury if he plays more than 30 minutes, then you listen to that.
Could we not have started with Alzate and got straight into them and tried to get an early lead and then sub him when he indicated he was knackered.
Maybe he thought Slater, Matazo and Crooks could do a job without Alzate, keep him fresh for Tuesday. The way we started with Matazo looking good it might have worked, but for the injury.
A solitary chance is not to be blamed But its def a weakness of jones He doesnt score goals barely ever I feel like successful teams always have a few goals per season from centrebacks Jones and macca have 2 goals between them in about 200 combined games
If you’re in a position to rest your best players then I get it. We didn’t have that luxury. Long term approach, listen to the science. Pivotal game of the season, don’t rest our best player, who’s not coming back from a long-term injury, and is still fit enough to play.
It's not just resting him out of luxury though, it was that they had good reason to believe that playing him for more than a certain number of minutes would've been exposing him to an unacceptable injury risk. This is why we have sports science specialists.
So you think he did it for a laugh, right? So he plays him and then the likes of you criticise even more when he goes off injured and misses the next 4. But you clearly know more than professional coaches and medical staff.... Can't win either way can he, numpty?
We agree on the subject but there's no need to be so aggressive to him. There's too much of that on here these days.
