Silva Out

The first half against Arsenal wasn't that good, giving the ball away near our penalty area. I'm more worried about the defensive display recently.

 

He created space then passed the ball to Burnley. He's the sort of player you bring on for the last 30 when everyone is tiring, you don't start him. I said before the game on Twitter he doesn't have the legs to start a game and sadly was proven right. He was incredibly ineffective even if he looked pretty with his turns.

 

I think a more fitting header for this thread should be 'Slava Out'.

 

Finally I can agree with you about summat syd.

 

No Markovic and no Evandro really limited us. I think Marco tried to get what he could out of what we had available, but it didn't work out.

I also was surprised to see Maloney start as he's been brilliant as an impact sub.

 

someone hasnt gotten over the fact that his boyfriend is now managing at Villa.

 

He needs more time Chazz.

I agree its important the voice of the fans is listened to, and if we demand he goes, he should go, we are after all the most invested in the club and, well, we know everything.

However, I think he at least deserves one more game before we call for him to **** off. Burnley was always going to be a hard game, the way they play, situation they're in etc. Leicester are another matter.

If we can't beat the worst team in the league, then, we have no chance, and we'll need an experienced English manager in to steady the ship and keep us up.

 

I wouldn't say Ranocchia was better than Harry, but I was interested how he defended against Gray. He stuck to him very tightly and didn't allow him to turn him, except for that one chance Gray should have taken. Overall impressed with him again.

 

A draw just isn't good enough. Too negative.

Bruce out!

 

As others have said we clearly still la k cutting edge when one of our wingers is out of the team. I thought the subs were good ones but we ended up with a pretty defensive 5 man midfield because of a lack of options. I know people like Elmo on the wing but he just isn't explosive enough for me to play that high up the pitch. His whole strength lies in coming from deep. On the wing he seems like a safe, defensive option but he's never going to blow them wide open like Kamil and Markovic can.

 

I don't think I like Elmo in the team anymore full stop. He's a **** full back and he's showing himself to be an average winger these days.

 

Reality check seems to be the words that keep getting repeated.

I've had a bit of a kicking recently for daring to suggest the future isn't a land of plenty...

I rate the manager's efforts and attention to detail, but I still believe we are in a very dangerous position and it will take some luck to scrape through.

The fact people point to our draw being the fault of a couple of missing players who have been here five minutes shows we are clutching a bit.

I do think we can stay up, though, and repeat that packed houses and vocal support is a must to push the team that little bit harder.

 

We only conceded at the back post because N'Diaye didn't stay in his zone. Individual error.

 

We only conceded how many times at the back stick Cortez??
A managers job is to stop his team making basic errors.

 

2 players went for the same ball and got in each other way, which allow the ball to go through to Keane.

 

At the game I thought it was elmo who blazed our injury time chance into row Z ... Just watched highlights and saw it was actually star striker Hernandez

 

The benefit of sitting at home and watching the game on the telly, seeing everything over and over again from many angles rather than being at the game and seeing it live, once and from miles away.

Oh no that's wrong isn't it.

 

No matter how it looked online I was at the game yesterday and Maloney was probably the most wasteful of the whole team .. he looks great until the final ball .. he even admitted himself in the after match interview he made some poor choices with his final ball.

 

People who didn't even go to the game telling us all who played well because the pundits on tv said so

 

Was looking forward to the game and was really disappointed.
Too deep.
Too slow.
Mbok isolated.
Didn't commit men forward when we were attacking.

The last few games have been exciting, need to get back to it next week.

I do think that Douche set up Burnley well to deal with us but we really didn't put them under any pressure.
