I thought the notion that Simms could bully anyone was the shitter joke tbh.

So you have no solution or opinion to how to change it up?

More of the same from last season really. Still not much dynamism going forward but we’ve been in control for most of the game and not allowed them to create anything of note really. Mason Clarke needs to do more for me and we just need to start moving it forward a bit quicker. BTA is putting himself about well but he lacks a lot technically.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Yes the notion that people are nitpicking for the sake of it is pretty ridiculous

A whopping 0.2 xG for us this half

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Even if we were 1-0 up I'd still say we lack that umph upfront.

 

[stupot07]

Really disappointed in Mason Clarke so far. For £4.5m we haven't seen enough.

Yeah but he's got a good song though.

Three words: pass and move.

Our three words: pass pass pass

I don't know why it matters, I'm not the manager
I guess I'd bring Simms on if Wright isn't fit. I'd rather we just buy a new striker tbf.

Their subs not warming up?

That won't matter much if we continue to move the ball at a snail's pace.

They weren't particularly clear cut. Sakamoto should have done much better with that one near half time, few other real opportunities.

The first one was definitely a high xg chance

 

[Boicey]

As always if rudoni scores either chance you wouldn't see the nitpicking at half time on here. Perspective needed

Not sure what perspective you have. Their keeper hasn't made a save yet.

I think we'd have probably seen some signs of that by now.

Having a striker who the ball sticks with would absolutely make a difference. When the ball makes it BTA or Simms you may as well kiss it goodbye.

Oh really? Surprised at that can't lie

 

[Nick]

In behind jds shock


Poor pass from emc

It was outside the box, through a large amount of bodies. SIgnificantly doubt it was high xG

 

[TomRad85]

Where the fuck was Dasilva?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Dasilva totally asleep

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Oh really? Surprised at that can't lie

Yep

I wouldn't disagree. Just saying it's 45 mins into first game of season. Not sure in depth analysis needed just yet

Last time we played hull at home I said I could see potential at half time and I got laughing emojis but we did go on to win and then surge up the table.

 

[Nick]

Emc stopped for some reason.

Poor from saka

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

EMC needs to get at it. Wasteful

 

[Ccfcisparks]

EMC chases loose balls like a bloke whos had his tea half an hour before he plays 6 a side

Ya he's not worked hard at all today

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Hopeless set piece

 

[dlburd]

If Sheaf is on the bench this season, then subbing him on for Grimes early 2nd half has to be an option if we are struggling to be dynamic. Like Grimes a lot but, as a few others have said, not everything needs to go through him.

 

[Nick]

What's the ref doing there

 

[Jamesimus]

Ya he's not worked hard at all today

Felt like he could easily have got that loose ball then and just left it

 

[Paul Anthony]

If that's a foul throw, how does he get another chance to take it?

 

[Nick]

Poor cross from emc

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Can't see us scoring if we play till midnight

 

[Nick]

So close from mve

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Wolfsburg hits the post

 

[Nick]

They have free headers from corners every time

 

[StrettoBoy]

Lovely shot by MVE!

EMC playing a bit better this half.
