Cardiff v Everton. 31st Aug @ 15.00.

He did absolutely nothing of note.

He did what was needed. Won some balls and retained possession. This result is on the strikers and the (non)penalty.

 

[Coach]

Well I feel positive about this season.

3 draws against 3 teams who have put 11 players behind the ball - that won't happen every game.

People ****ging off Jelavic and Kone need to realise it isn't easy when you receive the ball surrounded by 3/4/5 players.

Deulofeu shoiuld be starting though.

 

[blueburns1878]

Tempo is too slow and jelavic isn't offering us anything upfront - either making runs or holding the ball to bring others in the game

Miralles is a one trick pony. If he can't get his own way, he's got nothing else to offer.
And you don't often get away with his type of skill in the prem, there's just no time for it.

*logs out until Chelsea game




Let the meltfest begin.......

The system is working, but mainly everything is too slow. By the time we get to the edge of the box their defence is totally organised and any space is easily snuffed out.

The system only works when you create and end product. The player with the most strikes on goal? the young lad on loan from Baraca... that says it all about our system. We have played nobody yet either, 3 teams who will be near the bottom. We are going to get splattered when the big guns come at us.

Give your heads a wobble will ya's, it'll come good. I'm actually surprised we haven't lost. Let everyone gel and get used to the new setup and staff. Your all being bad meffs saying Martinzez out after 3 DRAWS.

Even the R$ gave Woy Hodsgson more of a chance than yous are giving bobby!

Shameful behaviour!

Decent performance just lacking a top drawer striker,as i stated last week.
Faired far better than Man City did last week,despite the hundred of millions they've spent.
Barkley was superb,a tad disappointed with both Coleman and Mirallas,thought they had plenty of opportunities to deliver that telling cross.
Defence looked a lot better too.

 

[Jags..class]

but when you can't score whakc him up top and play route 1.
simple football.

Don't piss about with all this passing and ****, just get it in the mixer.

You wont win **** all with route 1

Final stats:

61% possession
13 goal attempts (3 on target) v 4(1)
5 corners v 4

Compared to City's game last week (City stats first)

70% possession
12 goal attempts (5 on target) v 10(8)
8 corners v 3

So we had roughly as many goal attempts as City, although they were nearly twice as accurate, and we limited Cardiff to only one shot on target compared to the 8 that they enjoyed last week.

Jelavic has scored 1 league goal in his last 20 league games. It's not acceptable.
Kone has 1 in 11 but he hasn't started all of those and he's still looking for sharpness after a disrupted pre-season.
Vic has 1 in 12 but hasn't started a lot either.

Forget signing a midfielder. We need a striker capable of scoring 1 in 4 as a minimum requirement.

 

[icburns]

No he didn't

Constructive.

 

[MickM86]

That low cross across the six yard box from Deulofeu and nobody even stuck a foot out for it. Awful.

Julio strikes again.
