useless Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) We've been saying similar all season yet we keep failing to win games we're going to run out of fixtures eventually, can't keep saying that we will win next time or we wlll eventually beat one of the divions better sides we have to start doing it now. Like aganst Chelse we can't make excuses just because it's Chelsea we need the three points. Edited June 17, 2020 by useless 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we werent more clinical, hence a draw was "fair". They had a definite goal ignored, and we had a penalty (in my eyes) ignored. They cancel each other out. No one scored. I then bemoaned the fact we played with a non goal scoring striker as a lone striker and probably part explains why we couldn't score. We created a lot but only one shot springs to mind as threatening, which was well saved. Having more shots is not a precursor to scoring more. Sheffield were especially poor by their standards, so maybe we should have won, but on the basis of play that would have been unfair to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Think Smith got starting tactics spot on. Davis caused so much trouble to the Sheffield backline. Sadly we couldn't capitalise on it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 we looked organised, defended well, midfield did well, we just had no cutting edge up front, Davis did his best. Not sure we could have done much better really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Davis played well but still doesnt look like scoring. I'm happy to play him but we need Samatta on as well because we need a scoring threat. Dont get me wrong Davis was superb but for me never really looked like socring, even his really good effort was at Keeper's height and ready for him to push away. Play Davis and Samatta and drop El Ghazi, then let Jack play the free role. The rest, Dean got spot on tonight for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We created nothing once he came off. This is Keinan's first start of the season for Christ sake! Edited June 17, 2020 by villalad21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 There's a lot of comments along the lines of it doesn't matter if we fail to win ths and that match because such and such fixture is the winnable game, alas it doesn't work like that we just as many wins as we can as soon as possible, can't keep leaving it and leaving it. We also could with a win not just because of the league table but for our confidence, just to remind the players that they're actually capable of winning a game.

We were the better side and improved from the free fall we were in before all this kicked off. Crazy to be so angry at it. I'm not angry. I didn't say I was angry. I just expected us to play better than we did. However, I saw Nyland still looking dodgy on crosses. I saw centre backs looking casual on the ball. I saw us look toothless in attack. Deano said he watched all the games back and had one-to-one meetings with the players. I saw nothing different to what I would have expected before the suspension of the season. Tonight's game, without any doubt, is one of the easiest we have remaining. I saw nothing to make me think we would beat any of Wolves, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Once Davis came off it. Turned into a ping pong game, the ball kept coming back and thats when we are most vulnerable , once the subs where on I had my heart in my mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
