The build up and pressing is good to watch but we look absolutely blunt IMO. Too many passes and a lack of cutting edge. Eze can’t come back soon enough. Attack and Goals are always the last to come. Brighton have found this - and appear to be coming out of it now. We will surely go through the same. PV is still rebuilding. The foundations have been laid, and are solid. New walls have been Put in place, but it's still the old ones providing the support. We need to remove them and ensure the whole place doesn't collapse.

This season was always going to about transition and would be high risk due to the number of personnel involved. I know early days but we seem to progressing nicely a couple of wins soon and we can look forward to a bright future.

The bottom line is that we have won one out of six in the League this season. In mitigation we have played difficult opposition but even Norwich at home wouldn't be an 'automatic' three points. The football we have played under Vieira is far more watchable than what has been served up in the last two seasons. Whether it will be as effective in saving us from relegation is yet to be seen. If we win nine more matches, we'll stay up. If we don't, we probably will not. Given that we average a point a game this season and that on current form Leicester is about as difficult as the mean we have faced this season, a point on Saturday is most likely. So...which nine teams will we beat?

At the start of this season I think I would have been happy with 15th place. This was always going to be a season of transformation so we shouldn't expect anything. We can pray we avoid relegation, we can hope we finish top 10. Performances have been promising, new players are integrating well and some of the old guard have performed very well so overall its a definite thumbs up from me.
Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that. |

Added in a missing error! lesser of the all errors really, as Maupay was already through On goal so it'd be 1 on 1 regardless, but he allowed Maupay the opportunity of an 'easy' finish. Edited by CrazyBadger (30 Sep 2021 10.14am)

Quite how Guaita kicking the ball into the middle of the pitch is seen a big mistake is unclear. It wasn’t scuffed to their player on the edge of the area, it was in the middle of players from both sides. Our players didn’t react, theirs did.

It went past the half way line, plenty of goal kicks or free kicks in your own area are far worse than that. Focusing on the kick out from VG is entirely missing the point of that goal. Trossard, on the full volley, played a defense splitting perfect through ball, which took out the entire back line and was perfectly weighted for that little rat, who tucked it away. He played a perfect through ball, on the volley. Sorry but you have to take your hat off to that. Why scapegoat VG for that goal? Why not scapegoat the entire midfield for not getting to it before Trossard or the entire back line for being caught flat footed? Problem with scapegoating is it doesn’t really make sense when you examine it.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |
