And players will miss those chances, even merciless footballing robots like Haaland (54s in) The difference is whether you bounce back from those misses with good mental resilience or spiral (from which it's the managers job to protect you and pull you out of it). Daka missed against Leeds and has spiraled, lost all confidence, started snatching at every chance and it's bad management to leave him in the firing line.

Because you were wrong? Prior to the last month and a half his underlying stats have been pretty consistently good. Every player misses big chances, it's the nature of playing in a team that creates a lot of them (top three for missed big chances in the prem? Haaland, Nunez and Watkins... https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/players/big_chance_missed). He's not bad, he's low on confidence and being mismanaged by being left in the firing line this long. Get him a psychologist, take him out of the firing line for a bit and you'll see a very different player at the end of it.

Get Faes to put his concrete boots on and chuck him in the soar.

Another let off, but does anyone seriously think we'll capitalise on this?

TBF he quite possibly was our best player in that match, but that's much like saying rishi Sunak is the best pm we've had since 2019, it's a condemnation of how bad the rest are Dude is absolutely useless as a defender, if he has to ****ing play for some sort of contractual reasons, and that would be the only justification for picking him at this point, put him in the midfield or up front, just get him as far away from our goal as possible

I said in the match thread and I'll say it here, delivery is so bad we might as well have Hermansen do a Chilvert or Ceni type role and take them, because none of the regular takers can do anything with them

Out. I was a fan but he's lost the plot and doesn't seem to be learning a damn thing

To take it tbh, reckon Mads could do a better job than most of them

Any danger of sending the keeper forward for a corner in stoppage time when we desperately need a goal? No.

For a 'passing' team our passes are awful, Faes kills every attack with a pass 5 yards behind it's target

Adapt or die lad, and currently I do not care which one

He's already going down before the player makes contact, it's a dive

KDH just looking for a penalty... ****ing pathetic

So rested for west Brom and back in for Southampton and Preston (evening games) then

Jesus Christ mav, got to get proper contact on that

****ing hell that is absolutely dogshit

Islam Slimani? Cost more than that and did basically nothing bar one goal in europe

Do you not remember Roman Bednar, Carl Cort, Jermaine Beckford...

Oh god. Like if you're being generous it's ever so slightly behind him because of the knick but he has to hit the target

People seriously suggesting Mads should be saving that???

It's a good finish but it shouldn't have ever got to there but for the gross overcommitment in attack (only Vestergaard and Faes back at the half way line) and Faes defending like a child.

And there's the suckerpunch. Overcommited going forwards

Well tbf he's never had any trophies to celebrate

Idk have you seen some of the house of lords, or for that matter the US senate recently? Being a corpse is no obstacle to being a politician it seems
