Very similar to Villa game. We need a striker.

we’ve got a goal tho need more

 

[PercyPlant]

Beto has an incredible knack of making nothing out of anything.

 

[ToffeeDevil]

trying to be too cute - did better w possession in the first 20

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Been poor since the goal tbh. Giving these lot far too much ball.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

It’s very hard being our lone striker. But they don’t really help matters, just standing between 2 centre backs. Have to make little runs even if you don’t get it once, one of them has to follow you.

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

Tbf we've been pretty crap

 

[the golden visionary]

The one cross near him he got a header on target. We're winning and he's not had much service but it's all because he's useless again.

No it's because he's constantly out of position, so much so he's having to wrestle defenders to get in position who are there before him and set, when we attack on the break he isn't on the last mans shoulder he's 3 yards behind.

He's not there to receive the service he lacks

 

[Davideeyore]

That free kick conned the ref

 

[Tommy Chong]

1-0 HT.

 

[matty1878]

Looks like a warning for telling someone to shut up as far as I can see so….

i want my telling warning deducted!

VAR?

 

[Eggs]

…..I suppose that’s ok so far but West Ham carrying threat, Summerville has O’Brien on toast. Beto not contributing and I feel we’ll need a 2nd in this one.

 

[heatmeiser]

He has done one good thing. He doesn’t even press that hard.

Oh he's been poor yeah, he's not strolling about though

 

[Jamiednm]

Magnificent first half.

 

[lieneverton]

Been the better team, without being especially great. As usual we surrender the impetus after scoring, infuriating.

 

[ElGato]

He's had nothing to attack oor run on to.

I know Fullkrug isn't a fair frame of reference, but he's at least has won a few flick ons, looks a bit more of a threat.

Beto seems to be wearing every defender like a backpack when it comes up to him. Needs to create some space so he can attack the ball
