I feel like I'm watching a training exercise where the coach has said 'let the lads in white have the ball and you just defend'.
Our midfield is lacking in energy to compete with theirs. Missing Honeyman badly. Moncur and Huddlestone are moving at fat kid-jogging pace at the moment. Huddlestone's never been much for work-rate since his technical ability makes up for it but Moncur needs to put more of a shift in.
The comm just said it’s attack v defence how we aren’t losing is a miracle hold onto half time boys and let Terry do his stuff cos we aren’t in this
They have far too much time in midfield, and can build the attacks at leisure. We need to be in their faces further up the pitch.
Sadly, I can only listen to the Swansea commentators (basically two fans) and if they said it then I missed it. I agree though, how this is still 0-0 is nothing short of incredible plus well done Matt Ingram. Now 11 men behind the ball ... jeez
That was perhaps the most lethargic first-half performance I've seen from this group. They look like they're still nursing a hangover from a Friday night piss-up.
To get to half time 0-0 is a minor miracle given the amount of possession they've had but we are still in it .. but we so desperately need a spark .. so far off them at the minute it's ridiculous.. we live in hope
Historically well recent historically, we've always been 'slow' first game after the international break...
