Can't say I agree with us playing to lose. Last two games we have started on the front foot and should easily have been ahead in both games. If that had happened, I am confident we would have won both fixtures.
So you have moved from your position of we didn't have any very good chances then?
🤪
That was a very good chance indeed. He seemed certain to score.
Wait til the highlights come up.
I do think we did play some good balls, especially down the two flanks. Van Ewijk and DaSilva both got a lot of quality ball. They just did nothing with it though
The space was there and they were in very decent positions, but their delivery was poor, or they were tackled too easily
It is a concern. I do think the players are good enough, but if there's a lack of spirit and leadership, that will always hurt you. Doesn't matter how good individual players are if the spirit is not there.
When he's not scoring it can be a big problem to the team, because he's just rather slow. We were putting through balls up to him tonight and he was easily outpaced.
Yup. I believe it too. I don't believe these are poor players.
They are lacking confidence and the midfield is short of the quality needed.
We thought maybe Ayari could step up, but he seems short of what we need. He is not strong enough, easily being knocked off the ball and losing possession...
I really thought we would get something out of the game, but we looked very tired and a bit bedraggled this second half.
One positive is that O'Hare is back.
