The OH Leuven Thread 2020/21

[sacreblueits442]

....what a cracking game....tried to chip the keeper twice and failed one on one.....!!!

       .oh no REM have just scored.

[moore_94]

Ahh there it is, 2-2, can really see them going on to win it now

[Bonanza]

We only got ourself to blame for this!!!!

Brys Out

[sacreblueits442]

....REM look the better team but...  !!!

They should have been buried by now and now its 2-2.........

[sacreblueits442]

...OHL looking a little fatigued and make mistakes and poor decisions...!!!

REM still keeping a high line but not looking like they can be countered, winning everything in the middle of the park.

[Staff]

Romo is not very good 

[sacreblueits442]

...two points given away....REM a good team, should not be where they are in the league...feels like a loss!!!

[moore_94]

2-2 is probably a fair result in the end, just a shame to throw away a 2-0 lead

 

Still in 4th for now

[Webbo]

That's a shame, but probably a fair result. I think Romo should have done better for the second.

Especially given the two one-on-one opportunities to finish it off. 

 

That said, all in all a fair result. I think the fatigue, combined with injuries and suspensions, is starting to take its toll.

Get Iversen back in

I totally agree!

 

We didn't play our best game of the season and we missed some of our best players  (Henry, Maertens and Malinov), but when you're up 0-2 you have to control the game and take home the 3 points.

Mercier with another assist and should really have had two more, if it wasn't for some poor finishing from Sowah and Vlietinck. Some delicious passes there!

Al-Tamari looks useful too.

Obviously disappointing to lose two points there, but onwards and upwards

I don't like their kit red and white kit. Feels like they should be playing Rugby. I don't like the whole team to be honest. I can't decide if their goalie is great or our strikers wasteful.

good goalkeeping for the two 1v1's.. their (REM) goalie was quick to come out and close down the space making it hard for the strikers.

The OHL goalie made a mistake for REM's second.. was bad positioning and found himself in no mans land.. he could neither close their striker down or hold his goal line.

Rumour has it that Henry has corona and has been quarantined.

0-2 at HT.

 

Disgraceful performance!

[sacreblueits442]

....2 - 1 loss. very disappointing!!!

We seem to come up short against these and they looked good in defense as well as going forward. We are dropping points at the moment and we need to play with a bit more control as all the games at the moment are too open and end to end.

[Bonanza]

We lost this game in the 1st half.

 

Hopefully we do better next week in the last game before the winter break.

In the second half as well tbh, if they finish their chances a little better of are a little more clinical in the counter play, this would have been 2-6 or 2-7. 

 

Romo was solid but makes a mistake leading to 0-2. De Norre was solid, Mercier as well. Vlietinck average, just like Henry. All the rest can take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror tonight, especially Sowah.

You're right, but I don't think we would've been down 2-0 at half time  if we would've played with the same mentality and sense of urgency as we did in the 2nd half.

 

Seems to me like our players really need some rest, so let's hope we can end 2020 on a positive note and win against Oostende and then give the players a couple of days off

[KlaaZ]

Possibly. Let's just say that this was bound to happen sooner or later. You could feel form was slipping a bit, fatigue was starting to set in and that we relied on a few game changing events going in our favour the past few weeks (Van der Bruggen missing his free header in the game against KVK, for example). Today could, despite the performance, just as easily have turned the other way if Henry had finished at least one of his chances and if Vranckx had gotten either a straight red or his second yellow when he blocked that quickly taken free kick at the end of the first half.
