Robtaylor200 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Must make changes if we haven't scored in 15 mins. We have to win this one. IMO its more important than finishing on top 4 of the Prem .We are in the cup lets go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the atmosphere is bad, because the performance is so bad. Rubbish.

MotoMkali Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Just now, Davkaus said: I'd say we're far worse than most for it though. There's a reason it's been commented on by both our former players and our opponents that VP is a hard place for our players when we don't get going. We really need a group with some drums, who can hold the beat and start the chants so our atmosphere isn't so dead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 3 minutes ago, UpTheVilla26 said: This is the sort of game where we seriously miss a Buendia/Coutinho type player. Someone who picks up the pockets of space, play 1 & 2 touch passes, moves into space again and keeps it moving forward. What we have is Tielemans giving it away every chance he gets, Dendoncker playing it side ways and McGinn taking far too long to pick a pass. I hope certain posters are now seeing exactly what Buendia gives to us as a player, we don't have anyone remotely like him. Tommi O Reilly is perfect for this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan95 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Seems like we either have a problem getting up for these matches v 'easier' opposition or we struggle tactically vs low blocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
