Player was too close and it travelled at speed. Arm didnt come out it was already part of his running motion

Nope

Two points more than Saudi Newcastle and 3 more than mighty Spurs. Weird league this.

 

[Melchizedek]

The reality is that we play like this most weeks, but without KDH or Ndiaye, there is no one to pop in with a moment of brilliance and grab a goal.

We have no attacking system, no set way to try to create chances. Our game plan is to defend and hope something falls kindly for us.

It's cowardly, safety first football in the vein of Dych, Benitez, and Big Sam.

That starting 11 has no goal.threat whatsoever. Need a massive overhaul in attack in the summer and new recruitment team in place to make the decisions and undo the mistakes of last summer.

Dibling was fine and I don't think he was set up for success. But equally he doesn't look like a player who will get you a goal so I've no idea why we spent over 40m

The style of play with this posession first rubbish has totally nullified any attacking threat these players once had.

Should have played like last season.

Instead it looks like Grealish slowing the play down is actually a strategy as Dibling is doing it now. He wasnt at Southampton.

Crap tactics.

How poor were Burnley . Which means how poor were we .

 

[Joey66]

You know it's bad when you can't tell if your stream is in slow motion or it's us..


For what we had on offer, i'm not gonna complain too much..

Thought Beto done well, Tim and Garner. Usual suspects really..

Why do we keep passing backwards?

This seasons David Moyes posession based style.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I’m getting tired of our club barely scoring goals, being dull and uninspiring when starters are out, and looking below bang average. In all honesty, Burnley should’ve won 2-0.

 

[Ring master]

They had 8 out, including the only player I'd take from their squad. Esteve

Did they. Are the 8 actual starters or just mostly what they have missed a lot of the season as a lot always say teams are missing x amount and include players that have not played ages

 

[msb]

Poor game, hard to pick a MoTM, but I gave it to McNeil for stealing a living as a premier league player.

He was poor Joey. So slow to react to what is going on around him. Definitely more reactive than proactive and that just isn’t a number 10.

“Without our best attackers and midfielder we have no set way to attack and score goals.”

Posession football now.

Absolutely dreadful paint drying rubbish.

Yep, Moyes reverts back to his normal dross. Hard to overstate how he cocked up the summer window as well.
