The only player getting time on the ball is o brien because they know he will do nothing with it.

 

[EFCINLONDON]

We are getting absolutely battered here

 

[Esgehtvoran]

There’s literally nobody dropping into pockets of space. They are just pushing grealish out and nothing happens

 

[Rita_Poon]

barry almost scores

100%.

The dreams of a revolutionary reset ended quickly. We kept the safety-first manager - which was understandable - but had nobody in place to recruit early and decisively. Basically, we didn't back him - as his frustration in the US proved.

I'm not impressed with these new owners. Just because they are better than their predecessors does not make them good owners.

It’s fine because waiting until the end of the window enabled us to get all of our top targets.

Moyes just does nothing to change things. This is turning into Dyche territory

What's going on with Grealish today? There's been various times where Mykolenko has been making ground up the pitch but has to check back because Grealish has just stopped running.

Might be because the few times he's played it forward to Mykolenko he's wasted it

 

[Professor Toffee]

Did we not work on palace long throws?

 

[BlueShark]

Chance that.

 

[Big Sams Undies]

Got to make contact with the ball there ffs

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Barry just isn't suited to the role that he's consistently deployed in, which of course isnt all his own fault. He isnt a Moyes CF..

 

[Mozza1987]

Has to score

 

[heatmeiser]

Seems to be a yearly conversation this one, but you're right.

It was hardly poor, more incomplete; because there's no way we could realistically address all our weaknesses in one window.

If there are still similar issues after the next proper window then we can absolutely start to wonder wtf people are doing

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Guehi is 6ft 0inches. Shouldn’t be winning every single long throw.

 

[Rita_Poon]

so close, grealish wide left, laid back to garner, perfect ball in, just needed a touch... Damn!
