Yes. As you say, partly true. But on the most part, it’s a defensive “unit”issue, as much as it is a defensive personnel issue.
Sounds overly simple and cliched really but it’s a concentration challenge when we dominate in our final third for long periods. Concentration then brings better and more efficient decision making.
You could make a strong case that this is Thomas and Kitching’s biggest skillset weakness.
You would hope it’s one of Wolf’s strongest based on his pedigree and what we know about him.
We are in block 22, Haji was definitely kicked on the ankle/leg, probably not enough to go down but surely that is still a penalty. No idea why the idiot gave the free kick to Norwich although probably something Haji said.
He can be as bad as he wants as long as he keeps scoring at this rate. There was a moment in the first half I think when I long ball was coming towards him and he stopped and looked away and their player got the ball. Maybe he thought the ref had blown for an infringement .
When a team like Norwich with good championship and premiership credibility go down like a sack of spuds every time there is a challenge when 1-0 tells me that we have come a very long way under FL
We look excellent going forward. The team is set up for that. Torp is exclusively forward thinking, as are Dasilva and Ewijk. We’ve got to take our chances because we will leak goals. It’s good to watch. If we had an outright poacher in there we might be better off.
Just watched Akex Craig's Vlog, who on earth were the twats who booed us off at HT? Such a disease in the game to boo simply because we were losing. We were so dominant in the first half and played lovely football at times.
