Oxford United (A) - Match Thread

[hejammy]

Abdul needs to learn to make the correct decisions at the end of his runs. The amount of times he loses the ball like that. 

Great now Vesty on a yellow too

Not sure how much longer we can continue with just how rancid on the ball Okoli is.

And it doesn’t help he has JV next to him who hates to pass the ball quickly when players are in space. 

[SecretPro]

If this was Radio Commentary I'd be putting £50 on Oxford to win the Champions League.

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

If we want to try play from back you got to take off Okoli and put faes on.

 

He can bring the ball forward as well.

 

Uses up a sub but is for the benefit of us doing anything this half.

 

Leaving Okoli on he'll just give the ball back

Weird one taking Mav off

He’s been utter dross for most of this season and tends to only turn up for 1 in 8 games.

 

Down to 10 men, need players on the pitch who will take the game by the horns.

Okoli can't kick a ball straight to save his life

Learned all he knows about simple passes from Ndidi

[Simonb]

Vesty a full 45mins late there

[MPH]

Looks like Vesty actually got the ball on one of the replays..

Successful final third passes

Did you notice we had a man sent off? 

[Tommy Fresh]

Faes for Okoli at least he can carry the ball forwards ffs

[Pliskin]

Worst ref ever.

[Dahnsouff]

I actually have some sympathy for our defence, as the lack/quality of movement ahead is frankly shocking.

 

Amazing to see Hamza making the most movement to get away from their opposition marker.

Need to play on the counter with pace but he's subbed Mav off. Bizarre 

We need to be able to win the ball back first.

[Chrysalis]

Our captain inured again?

Did you notice a lot before then 

[jimsmallman]

Is Jannik trying to get sent off? Did he leave his dog tied up outside or something?

[Sly]

I’ve seen nothing positive in this game.

 

AT ALL. 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Marti has now had 11 halves of football and only 1 has been anywhere near good enough with this squad. I’m all for giving him time, but he needs to vastly improve.

it would  be foolish to play 3 at the back with no  wing backs when down to 10 men..

I was picturing Mavs and Fatawu would be the wing backs here (not that my thought experiment matters now with Mavididi being taken off lmao)

Does anyone remember how Maresca set us up after Fatawu's red card against Coventry away?
 

[Muzzy_no7]

Yeah not the first and last time this season a ref has and will have it in for us 

[rn9013]

Commentators not a Leicester fan is he.

And it was a great pass to their player in space.

I wouldn’t say these have really took us on even with us having 10 men 

Yet another shot just passed the post! We are getting outplayed!!

There was next to buggar all in the Charlton game, too.
