Not Steks fault btw for all those that want to prove themselves right or whatever. He's completely wrong footed by Williams' tackle taking the ball to the opposite side of the goal. Soz.

It is his fault. He's palmed it square instead of behind. It was Paul Gerrard bad.

 

[brieverton]

Jagielka probably in his final year with us. Becoming a liability. Might as well have Funes Mori start, he would be a threat from set pieces.

We're winning in the possession and passing stats though. What could go wrong?

 

[MartyMcFly]

Pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass *crosses hopefully into box*
That's about our only attacking game plan.
Sh1te.

It almost makes you nostalgic for Martinez.

Against these kind of teams we through points away. With Koeman we are just another mid table hoof ball team.

Not enjoyable to watch at all.

Has sam vokes ever scored a goal ? Utter carthorse gets 1 against us though of course.

 

[banno]

Played OK apart from a mistake. Lacking punch up front and I still believe too many of our players lack the speed of thought so are unable to get a high tempo going. Still 45 mins to go to be able to change things and get accurate crosses in the box but more importantly to have our players attack the crosses rather than stand static.

Poor performance all round. Not one player above a 6/10 imo. For some that should be particularly concerning.

45 mins to put it right.

They havent been great but they are getting bypassed a lot by the long punts upfield

Even when it's on the deck, their movement has been shocking. Mirallas hasn't been involved. Bolasie is just running in straight lines. Lukaku isn't holding the ball up.

We kept the ball well but if those 3 of the attack aren't moving or making things work, it goes nowhere.

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

I'd take Mirallas and Bolasie off. Some of the worst service I've ever seen in my life.

Yes it was, terrible...

 

[Smodger]

2 penalties last week has not won a header this week.gues who?

 

[Tubey]

Agree with the first two, but without Lukaku we would be in a relegation battle.

He's been useless today. And several other games too. Hat trick disguises a lot.

 

[bag a yoko]

Until we buy a player with some creativity we're going nowhere fast.

 

[RomanReigns]

It looks like it was deflected. Yous are being too hard on Stek for that.

not really

it was an osman pea roller

he had all the time in the world to adjust.

 

[BigBlueConk]

The season hasn't just started and teams are not still warming up.
We have played a quarter of the games.

From the first 8 games, IMO we have 3 players worth their place.
Beat poor teams at the start and now we look the poor team.

RK has a big miracle to pull off with this current shower of players.
Not even a fume. Just a balanced and calm view, drinking tea peacefully.
