BKLFox Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 As I said frustration creeping in Jack and Rodri going to ref at HT we are getting in their heads 1
Mark Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 Can’t really expect anything else in this formation
KingsX Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 That’s a decent half for me. Cags back and playing well. Only half-chances for them. We’re in it. Daka on at 60’. 2
Trumpet Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 9 corners against and it’s 0-0. Breathe it in. 4
Popular Post st albans fox Posted 29 October 2022 Popular Post Posted 29 October 2022 It’s a bit like watching a game of chess between Bobby Fischer and Joey Essex ….. 7
Popular Post Hales Posted 29 October 2022 Popular Post Posted 29 October 2022 Lets just praise some good strong defending. Nice to finally see! Hopefully Cags can gain some confidence. I'd change KDH for Praet and i'm sure we will see Daka 2nd half. Youri doing well 5
Sly Posted 29 October 2022 Author Posted 29 October 2022 Just now, Benji said: KDH unfortunately crapping his pants with all the quality around him. Time for Praet second half. Yes. He’s not looked good. He’s a better all out energy player and stifling the game isn’t his approach. Praet is better technically but KDH can most likely help the press for 90 mins.
Brainy Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 We could come out and demolish them by some miracle in the second half and you'd still get people like Dames first and foremost moaning about the formation
KP Fox Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 We have been defending corners much better in recent games.
The Guvnor Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 Solid defending helped by a completely different looking keeper, had a couple of opportunities which could have been rewarding with a bit more thought.
The Quick Brown Fox Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 Defensive masterclass. Make them play through all 11 on the edge of the box, crosses come in we have 5/6 players there to clear the ball. Only issue is we can't keep the ball and when we go forward there is very limited options. Nil nil would be great result.

lcfcdamo Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 (edited) Kdh keeps giving ball away in dangerous places could do with him being changed before it cost us Edited 29 October 2022 by lcfcdamo 1
Chelmofox Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 Pep will be buying Ward at this rate. Looks like a completely different player. KDH found a little wanting right now, which is fair enough. Still more development to come from him. Faes, Cags and Amartey effing ballsy i have to say. 1
st albans fox Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 The tactic is the long diagonal for barnes - the only problem is we haven’t managed to make a decent effort at it once ! he is in a lot of space 1
honeybradger Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 I'm beating a dead horse here but the only times that man city looks threatening are when we're playing around with it at the back and lose the ball. Hopefully we're a lot more no nonsense in the second and we might get a clean sheet

We need to allow Stones to join the attack then work a turnover.
StriderHiryu Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 The tactics are working. Might not be the most fun to watch, but we are playing these tactics for a reason. It's not quite like the 5-2 game. In that one even when we went behind, after about 20 minutes it was clear the tactic was working because we spurned a few 1 on 1's. We aren't really posing a fantastic threat against them, but it is there in some form. TBH I would take the 0-0 all day long, and I suspect many others would. You just hope it isn't a 1-0 win with a goal for them in the last 10 minutes!
martyn Posted 29 October 2022 Posted 29 October 2022 (edited) We can absolutely get some joy down our left. On the 2 or 3 occasions we strung some play together, it was surprisingly easy to release Barnes into space. KDH not suited for this style, would look to get Praet on Edited 29 October 2022 by martyn
