We gotta stop pissing about around our own box when we get a comfortable lead. Piss about up their end and try and score another goal. It’s frustrating how casual we get when we could put the game well and truly to bed.

 

Good solid win and Fantastic resilience at the end but I we should make it a lot lot easier on ourselves.

1000%. Even at 3-1 we were saying this is too easy for us not to go for the kill.

The tactical genius of Wayne Rooney - starts with tactics which actually work and then end up playing some suicide press pattern. For a good chunk of that game, I was thinking how the **** were these in the top six ?

I think the lack of winger options on the bench somewhat stifled us, the sub was right call as need to protect Mavididi but the change killed our momentum and we lost the midfield battle once KDH went out wide as well. Let’s hope we can get Yunus and McAteer back soon so we can make those changes with 20 minutes to go that enable us to push on and kill games off again. 
 

overall we looked bloody dynamite going forward, but need to kill off games we could have easily scored 6 or 7 tonight, nobody can complain that we ain’t creating chances.

Don't care, won't look back to see where the points came from at the end of the season, just about pounding on. 

 

We were sublime in places and wasteful in others. 

 

December is just about getting the wins on the board.

Mavididi has massively improved.  He was unplayable at times today.

 

Played like plonkers for a good chunk of that 2nd half though. Making some silly decisions instead of being completely clinical, summed up by Cassadei booting wide towards the end.

 

Massive chance to make an even bigger statement on Saturday!  Can't believe we are 4 wins ahead of Leeds and would still be 1 point clear. Absolutely nuts.

Defence is where we haven't made any squad changes and it shows. They are just as fragile as they were in 2022/23 to quick passing and movement.

 

Winks, KDH, Fatawu, Mavididi were immense, Hermansen strong. Everyone else was pretty average. 

 

Worth noting we are playing without either of our first choice strikers, our first choice left back and a guy who has scored 5 goals this season in McAteer. We've managed that quite well over past few games but need to get back to full strength for the 3 or 4 games before afcon kicks in. 

 

We are going to need Doyle, McAteer, Yunus, Vardy etc to step when our african players are absent. Fatawu could become a superstar at the afcon if given a chance.

 

 A bit of 'they have such a deep squad' creeping in to commentary. They are forgetting how difficult it is to ship 15 players and create a new team in close season. Saints and Leeds certainly haven't managed it and they didn't lose players as good as maddison and barnes

Thank god as well because we look like a much better team without either of them near the pitch tbh.

We get into a lead, look like world beaters , have a 5 minute spell of awful passing at the back where we look terrible and then play rubbish for 15 mins, get back on track and win. Cant help feel the standard in the championship is awful

There's always some suffering in winning a league, but some of the attacking play was sublime, and I like that Enzo seemed to realise what was needed at the end in bringing on Souttar to make sure we won the high balls, because his earlier changes were poor. Ultimately the others dropped points and we didn't.

Feel like we shifted to a higher gear these past few games. Not scoring 3 goals past 80 mins. Only worrying part is conceding more but that can be fixed. :scarf:

No. Dont think so.

Since both of those (first choice strikers) haven't played we have been more attacking more direct, yes it doesn't always pay off and we miss a few chances but we are better without them but since neither of them have played we have scored 10 goals in 3 games.

 

 

So what don't you think so?
