Not sure about the line up, hoped for two up top, my concern is it looks too samey hope I'm wrong but lacks enough quality to get us out of the mire.

At least he's gone slightly different and given some players who weren't getting a sniff a chance. Interesting putting Konsa at right back which he'd never considered before and getting hourihane in to play off Davis suggests a more attacking edge.

Nylan stupid mistake got lucky.

Someone obviously installed the Hawkeye an extra couple of mill further back lol.
Would have felt a bit hard done by though, we had a very good 25-30 minutes where Sheff barely touched the ball. Difficult in the circumstances but we need to not drop off, the high press was working perfectly.

A mixture between boring and poor. Glad I didn’t go.

Amazed we have not lost that game, we were passing the crap out of the ball, where 2 passes would have done.
Not good enough, and I think the writing is on the wall to be honest.

17 Jun 2020 20:08:39
So, was it a goal?
I kinda hope so because it’s usually us who loses out. Just a shame it wasn’t against a bigger team.

17 Jun 2020 20:09:41
Guys we ain't escaping this, too many average players apart from jack not an ounce of quality in the side, Nyland tried his best and Hause tried to back him up with our usual defensive errors. Of course first game back but deep down we know we aren't good enough. championship here we come don't know why I though it would be different we just are not good enough. Dreading playing the top teams with quality on the bench towards the end of the game.

17 Jun 2020 20:15:37
You're expecting too much. If you had watched any bundesliga you'd know despite them being several weeks in it's not top quality.
We were decent enough on the whole, just didn't have the finishing. Hause did ok defensively but needs to stop headbutting Mings on set pieces.
Still frustrated that Luiz refuses to pass it more than 5 yards. 2 or 3 great chances for the ball behind in the first half that he refused.

17 Jun 2020 20:36:00
Hause nearly handed them a goal with a dreadful pass across the face of goal, not out of character for Kourtney though I have to say.

17 Jun 2020 20:53:13
Rk, you have said we are expecting too much.
Can I ask you how much you think we should expect? how is that measured, I have been very patient with proceedings at VP.
I am a bit miffed by that statement mate.

17 Jun 2020 21:16:27
Nobody has kicked a ball in anger for 12 weeks, do you expect us to play like Barcelona after as long a layoff as the summer break?
Bar 2 mistakes (which quite frankly we shouldn't be surprised by after the way the season has gone) we were the better side against a Sheffield side who had only lost against City and Liverpool in their last 13.
Yes, the football wasn't great but try watching the City Arsenal game, it looks like Sunday League. Expecting what was always going to be like a preseason game to be perfection is nothing short of insanity.

17 Jun 2020 21:23:50
I like the championship anyway more games cheaper tickets something to look forward to midweek, for me the problem is goal scorer we simply haven’t got one Davis give it a good but should have put the chances away he had! Pepe offers a voice at the back nylan dose nothing after Nottingham forest last season I’ve had it in for the guy but just my opinion.

17 Jun 2020 21:24:24
I’m with scotcaffu here. Who was better than average in that team. Jack obviously, Luiz good first 20 mins, Targett I thought had a good game and Keinan too. I excuse McGinn - will only get better. The rest were less than average imo. That won’t save us.

17 Jun 2020 21:40:34
With all due respect mate, I am not that stupid to expect that quality of football, and I do appreciate that players are not up to speed yet.
But what I do like to see is something different, as soon as the team was announced we new what we were going to witness didn`t we.
Same approach, same tactics, same bum clenching moments every time the ball was in our box, that system got us into this mess.
I have supported Deano from day one, for his approach and vision of the game, the problem is, he left everything that attracted us to him at Griffin Park, which is a great shame.

17 Jun 2020 22:13:30
He could put 10 defenders on the pitch and we'd still be concerned every time it came at us.
The plan did start differently with a genuine target man and people genuinely getting around him. We were far more direct and closed down from the front in numbers rather than a single runner.
Unfortunately after 30 minutes some of the players fell back into bad habits and others had to adjust so as to not fruitlessly waste energy.
Hourihane was a shining light chasing down lost causes to the end despite his general speed and stamina issues.
If we can pick up the same points in these 10 that we did the first 10 then we should be safe. We can't expect to suddenly be a completely different team but use every ounce of energy to squeeze every last point out if the games.

That is of course assuming all those games are played and there’s not a second outbreak of the virus to prevent that.
If that happened wouldn’t the situation at the 29 game point be the benchmark as at this point all Premier League teams will now have played the same number of games?
If that is the case, couldn’t we have shown a bit more attacking intent ie. Davis and Samatta together for at least part of the game in an attempt to get us out of the bottom 3?

17 Jun 2020 22:53:33
Sam, rubbish display same system same subs smith is rubbish end of no plan B got nothing to loose in throwing some youth in the mix go for 2 up top samatta and Davis drop konsa and drop nyland stick in elmo, rena, engels.
