We finish 12th, n’diaye does a legger, we replace him with McNeill, buy no one and start next season with O'brien and myko.....watch this space

I went MOM Armstrong mature calm for his age gonna be great player for us if we don’t sell to Man Utd

 

[Haydn]

I hear what you're saying but with the way Moyes sets us up the only other possibility would be Rohl purely for his physique

Agreed, but that’s what I mean by changing tactics as well as formation.

Neither Barry, nor Beto, can control the ball, nor win and direct a header consistently.

Play the ball players, forget the hoof, because it just doesn’t work for us anyway.

I’d be having a look at which of our remaining forwards look half-way decent, playing central in training.

Try to set up a consistent style of play, rather than the disjointed (grab a goal) nonsense we now have.

If we played with the energy and intent we showed with 10 men all game we’d have walked all over them

Any decent striker worth his exorbitant salary bags that sitter in the first half. Not our gangly guy. We forgive him and sympathize when he buries his head in his hand. Do Messi, Haaland, and Salah miss that and bury their heads counting on patience and fan sympathy? I love us but also really hurt a lot because of us.

Off the back of a good away win. Team getting back to almost full strength. Chance to go above the RS.

Everton, you know what to do.

Yep.

It’s like the only time we wake up is when we’re losing or down a man. Not good enough.

Pickford is having a nightmare on set pieces. Very much a shot stopper.

Iirc We are like kryptonite to Crystal Palace @Alan Whittle

Its amazing that the set up at home has a striker completely isolated with KDH the nearest to him (about 20yds away), 2 wingers away miles from being able to press the opposition full backs, defensive minded full backs, yet we are easy to carve open, easy to walk through the middle as one of the midfielders is always allowed to go walkies.

Its a dreadful set up and the thing is, it doesnt have to be like that. KDH can move back into midfield ( and still be a threat ), we can then get Alcaraz or Rohl (if we want that extra player to press) in that 10 position and much closer to the striker. We have Aznou who can offer attacking intent at home, Patterson for balance. Tonight was a perfect chance to play Jake and Jarrad together so we could squeeze them higher up the pitch and have a higher line. Rest Gana for Rohl or Tim etc etc.

Its game after game at home, huge gaps, square pegs in round holes, poor performances, disjointed.

Subs tonight were horrific

Its Dyche levels of tactics atm at home. Its Dyche levels of performances. 2 months without a home win.

Nothing to do with the home stadium, all to do with a safety first manager game after game after game setting the team up wrong at home.

Utd next. Don't think anyone will be putting 50p on a home win again

Spot on mate

You have to partake in the dark arts if you want to win these days

We wouldn't, because we have absolutely zero quality in the box. Plenty of huff and puff, but no edge.

 

[BackRow PE6]

Such a sht performance in the end. Have to accept our limits. Nothing to do with playing at home. They're just limited players.

Mykolenko, Gana, both centre forwards and JOB at right back - fix them and we have a team
