jmono84 446 Posted 9 January Report Share Posted 9 January This ref has been there best player, giving them soft free kick after soft free kick. We should be a bit more clever about it not get so tight, only way they’re gonna score at the more is a set piece. Link to post Share on other sites
Tom12345 1,265 Posted 9 January Report Share Posted 9 January I wish Perez is not so isolated up front. We are playing Stoke. Hope Nachos can come on for Ndidi and we play Perez and Nachos up front. Link to post Share on other sites
Marshall Cockney Fox 908 Posted 9 January Report Share Posted 9 January I have to say that I think Rob Huth would beat Perez in a foot race. He's fecking slow as. Link to post Share on other sites

Hope Nachos can come on for Ndidi and we play Perez and Nachos up front. No need to take Wilf off. He gives us height for set pieces. Praet off for Nacho but only if its needed. No urgency or requirement to change it when we're so comfortable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

StriderHiryu 17,552 Posted 9 January Report Share Posted 9 January This was the team that relegated us to League One. Wow how times can change! Really enjoyed that half, and what a phenomenal goal that was from James Justin. Brilliant signing you have to say! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

He should be a touch, turn and pass player 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Frost 167 Posted 9 January Report Share Posted 9 January Coincidence ? Is it my imagination or are our headers improving. Either they were always better than I thought or they.ve been practicing. Fofana immense and definitely heading nuch better I think. Whole team having a good match, but way to go . Good half time talk and we might be there. Link to post Share on other sites

When he is up front he is so he needs to drop deep to get the ball. If Nachos is up there with him, he would also have another man central to pass forward (instead of passing to the wings).

Corky 13,475 Posted 9 January Report Share Posted 9 January First 30 were dull, after the goal we stepped it up a bit and just about deserve the lead. They've got threat from set-pieces and we need to stop giving so many away. Tremendous goal from Justin. Link to post Share on other sites

jmono84 446 Posted 9 January Report Share Posted 9 January Perez has looked sharp and tidy up front, what he lacks in pace he makes up for ball control, balance and speed of thought. He needs runners around him tho because I can see how he could become quite ineffective on his own but I like watching him. Surprised we’ve not see more of him up top that Nacho, maybe because Nacho can hold ball up better? I really enjoyed some of the football we played towards the end of the half.

Alternatively he's dropping deep to link play and pick the ball up to use his dribbling ability. Nacho probably is a shout later on Link to post Share on other sites
Webbo 17,066 Posted 9 January Report Share Posted 9 January Just did enough, Perez not really contributing much. Get Soyunchu on for Fofana, he needs the minutes and Wes's on a card. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
filbertway 2,842 Posted 9 January Report Share Posted 9 January Not much in it. Stoke are poor. Were comfortable without really troubling them, save from a few half chances and a wonder strike. Kind of game that we will probably win 2 or 3-0 without getting out of 1st gear Link to post Share on other sites
when_you're_smiling 362 Posted 9 January Report Share Posted 9 January Was just thinking that we weren’t going to score today and then Justin does that. Looked fantastic after that. Do think we’ll need another though as there’s no way we’re not conceding from a set piece and the referee is giving us nothing. Only had two free kicks given to us and one of those was the rugby tackle on Barnes that was the obvious yellow. Link to post Share on other sites
