LET'S BASH THEM LIKE TARKOWSKI (A Match thread)

I’ve been sat here for quite some time now trying to work out how a very well paid manager and coaching team think Awoniyi is an answer to anything.

Big lad.

Special mention for Zinchenko, who stood at the very end of the line making sure he could see absolutely everyone and play them all comfortably onside from a free kick, only for Tarkowski to put his header just wide. It took a level of defensive stupidity that an IFC player would get reamed out for to do that. Even I'd know to step up at that point and I'm the worst player to ever put boots on.

Wasn't that the corner that Taiwo - at the near post - headed straight back to the corner taker?
Even so the back stick 3 on 1 - the one being Zinc playing them on as you say - was just another hefty dollop of shitness.

Given the club's stupidly annoying but not uncharacteristically insular policy of no player interview's after a defeat, I wonder when we'll next hear from any of 'em (not that they ever really say anything worthwhile, mind).

And any matchday pass would just go straight to the opposition.

I blame it all on nonsensical caps lock thread titles

Walloping endless crosses in for the big lads to head away was just galling. Why don’t we play to feet anymore. Kind of like McNeil to Garner. Jimbo was great for them and he Didn’t hoof it at all.

Once Everton go ahead you know you’re fucked. Ah this is pants…. Shammers game is going to be a nail biter.

Villa are going to be be chomping at the bit to right the ship against us.

Blah blah and blah.

The good news is that Aina will be available in January.

Chicago: Going out.

Unbelievable tactical shit show.

How many times did we get the ball midway in our half and kindly pass backwards/sideways waiting for Everton to get their 9 men behind the ball. Then work the ball slowly to the wingets to punt it straight at the first man.

Can we stay up with Dyche? Can we stay up with anyone?

Definitely think we need to play kids v Wrexham and lose.

Dog dirt.

Fuck me, we need a striker. Igor was excellent v city but he was miles off it tonight. Taiwo is no longer funny. How bad must Kuilemendo be in training?

Another 'fun' stat doing the rounds is that we had a higher xG from throw ins than corners.

At this point I am thinking he's had a mardy at not being played and Dyche has told the board to sell him (and is therefore not playing him either).

Just listened to Dyche post match.

Sounds like endless crosses wasn't the game plan.

Alluded to Kali looking poor in training hence not getting on.

Slightly worryingly says lots of what we did was good tonight. I'm not sure what that was.

Uh.... we kept possession well?

Pointless possession though is not a good thing.

52 fucking crosses and 8 successful.
