The xG stat is MENTAL. We had 3 full 1 on 1's (Vardy, Daka, McAteer), Ndidi had a free point blank header saved from 4 yards from that El K cross AND we scored 3 goals - but yeah an xG of 1.37 sounds right....

On another day we'd have been 3-1 down. Don't get me wrong i think we played well at times first half, and looked more purposeful in our play and on the ball. But West Ham had several super presentable chances to score from quite close in, so it's not like we delivered a really dominant performance. Mads made 3 or 4 absolutely top drawer saves and a couple of others whistled past the post. Quite how our xG was so low i have no idea. Vardy, McAteer and Ndidi had gilt edged chances aside from the goal, and but for Buonanotte being a foot offside we would have had a 4th. Play wise - i think the fluidity of Buonanotte, El Khannous and McAteer last night was strong - their confidence will grow. Mavididi needs to take his lead from them and we will have 4 players that can really challenge each other to play behind the striker. Ndidi and Soumare have more physicality than any other CDM partnership we have and can progress the ball better. My only worry being that they really can't dictate the tempo of a game, and are prone to more **** ups in possession than is healthy for deep lying midfielders - so we may need something in January to improve us there. For now though. They seem to work in RVN's more pressing led system. I had real worries about Coady and Vest yesterday, but in a tight 4 with two quicker CDM's in front of them it was a good defensive performance. I think Okoli could play in that set up aswell, and maybe in the right games Faes could move out right, which takes him away from the goal aswell which is nice. Vardy appears reborn in the key games. If he stays fit i can see him getting 15 goals this year. It's good to have Daka back for December, but if he's the longer term solution post Jan then we are in a bit of trouble. Loved RVN anticipating the flow of the game, subs on 58 and 68 rather than 65 and 78. It just hit differently and provokes the game rather than reacts to it. Hermansen is, in my opinion, already the best goalie in the world. He comes for the ball, he is an unbelievable shot stopper and can play the ball short and long aswell as a midfielder. I hope we get £80m for him when he goes.

Live Mavididi. I thought he was givem.a.job to stretch them and play on the.break.tonight. not track back.necessarily. We need a fit Mavididi if we are to have enough to win 5 or 6 more games this season

Hermansen Justin Vestegaard Okoli Buona Skipp Ndidi Mavididi Bilal Ayew Vardy

i didnt like Ben Dawsons chat. He sounded like he didnt like the players and was more worried about Cooper who gets a big payout, than winning the game on saturday...just the vibe i got off him.

A manager who doesnt look like he has been duffed up and bundled through jacamo will be a welcome change. Pony dutch players incoming in january though. ...

Hermansen Justin Okoli Vestegaard Kristansen Ndidi Skipp Bouna ElKhannous Mavididi Vardy Faes should be nowhere near it. He has bungled for about 5 or 6 goals this year, in a way that pundits are now laughing at, and needs his barnet sorted.

0-4 i fear

Thinking of suggesting a 1 - 8 - 2 formation, utilising some vets for this one. I think this team stands as much of a chance as the one that will be put out. HERMANSEN COADY FAES OKOLI VESTEGAARD ELLIOT WALSH TAGGART DUBLIN ORMONDROYD VARDY

you can bend your knee with an ACL injury, it's just unstable and you can't rotate.

is he out yet?

We need two good centre halfs (Faes, Vestegaard and Coady are NOT GOOD ENOUGH by any measure across multiple years in the prem), two good full backs (Justin, Ricardo and Kristiansen consistently **** up and allow crosses and shots from wide which are killing us) , a holding midfielder (winks, ndidi, soumare and skipp have neither the positional sense or recovery pace to protect the back four consistently or effectively - we are currently more open than a hippies relationship and easier to get at than a 7ft ginger sat in the front row of a comedy gig). We also need a striker as we only have 1 x 37 yo one worth their salt. No less than 6 players needed MINIMUM in order for us to finish on more than 25 points this season. Also if we could get a manager and not the delivery driver for Swansea Jacamo orders that would be great. Post Jan first XI Hermansen New New Okoli New New Winks Fatawu Buona Mavididi New Subs New, Stola, Vardy, El Khannous, Skipp, Ndidi, Faes, Ricardo, Justin

we stink

Cooper Ahhhhhhhhtttttttt

employ a loser manager to manage some proven loser (in the premier league) players and expect a different result. getting what we deserve. soumare , kristiansen, faes, vestegaard, ayew, winks, justin all found wanting in the prem and dragging the others down with them. coopers pe teacher ball is like pouring petrol on the bonfire.

we are so shit. kristiansen too indecisive to head it which puts us under pressure. then no one closew down their midfielder. Exactly the same as the early goal we conceded in carabao. no lessons learned and also what a state our attacking shape is. everyone treating the ball lilke its a bomb.

Feels like front 6 should line up Winks Buona Ndidi Soumare Fatawu Ayew

January loan surely if hes getting no squad time.

he is turning in a worldy of a performance. 1 goal and 2 thunderous shots. Spurs are turning in one of the worst performances ive seen.

5.7% of the time, our games are harder all of the time.

we need to go a new way until Jan. Hermansen Faes Vestegaard Okoli Ricardo Winks Ndidi Kristiansen Buona Vardy Ayew El Khannous, Mavididi, Fatawu for the change up on 60. Skipp, Justin if we need to go more defensive.

2 goals in over time.

4 nil Harborough. Wow

yep. dont score and get him the sack...

stick Vestegaard up top
