Agree Dave surprised just how woeful they look actually

They haven’t been great at all. We have been worse though unfortunately.

Get Dele on for Gray, if he's fit get Onana on for Davies and send him home

Really what we need to do is pass it out to our wing backs, stretch the play and pass into the middle or a cab who’s gone higher up the pitch.

Then they need to pass to the wingers or striker who drops deep to give time for the wing backs overlap, it creates space and leads to a 5 man attack with 2 supporting mids, the front 3 get in the box so they are narrow and the wing backs on the touch line, then score goals from there.

I think we can win this still tbh

I love the optimism, but we dont have a striker. And I dont include Rondon who is woeful.

5 at the back

sack sack sack

Nothing wrong with the 5 at the back.. it's the 5 infront of them.

 

[Parker]

People want us to not dive and play act. That's what happens when you don't make a big deal of it.

Completely agree but unfortunately that rule only applies to the top 6.

The line between diving cheat and clever lies between 6th and 7th place.

 

[PhilRegan]

Unfortunately I think we are in trouble this year.

 

[RomanReigns]

rondon and alli

get the bash brother on now to cause havoc

 

[irishgoose]

This ends two or three nil to Villa and us being very obvious relegation candidates by the end of the evening.

England’s number 1, a reasonable defence, shocking midfield and attack. It’s like the top 2/3s of the Eiffel Tower being built of jelly, it’s going to fall down

 

[GoldenToffee]

At least send off one of Gordon Gray or McNeil in the final minutes so that changes need to be made next week.

 

[banno]

Still 45 minutes of football to be played. A point here would be a great result for us.

Be a miracle mate.....means we have to actually score

 

[PhilEFC]

highlight of that half was davies trying an acrobatic kick and landing on his arse

If he’d have had his skateboard he would have been alright.

 

[davek]

Every other team has a striker

That's Lampard and the club's fault.

 

[GraemeS1980]

Put Michael Keane upfront
