Yep. All teams know they just need to sit back, watch us knock it around on the halfway line and then at some point, probably several times, we will pass it to their team when clean through.
It’s a lovely free kick, but it doesn’t solve: 1 our inability to convincingly breakdown an opposing defence despite buckets of possession and little one-twos around the centre circle and 2 the gaping holes in our defence and our ability to play the perfect through ball to the opposition
Conviction is the key word for me, we looked brilliant in the first 15mins, then we slowed down after not making the dominance count and Hull have since imposed themselves on us physically and fairly, besides a few occasions where they’ve dragged us to the ground which the ref deemed ok
Ramsey puts one over from 5 yards out as the ball was fizzed across the box and seemed to bounce just before it got to him
I have seen enough of Deano & Shaky zero faith in their ability to conjure up a victory. 1 point from 9 and scraped through in a cup with a draw . On the back of our worst Premier league season ever .
Pukki is getting nothing from refs in this league but he also looks a yard or 2 off it at the moment. I don’t see him starting on Tuesday
All over at 2-1. Credit to Marcelino for an excellent goal and to McLean for a good performance but we're now 6 points behind Watford after 3 games.
Now bottom of the Championship. The new boys this season will wonder what they have signed up to. So, what is the problem? All this “we always have a slow start to the season” as a reason has now been buried. Having been bottom of the EPL for most of last season, we are repeating the feat in this league.
