We battled. We pressed. We played hard. We managed to nullify Son. We had chances. This was a performance. We lack quality but I would say the spuds knew they were in a fight. Neco was excellent. So was toff’s (who again was unlucky not to score). We had chances but the quality was lacking. Yates was fantastic. I don’t care what anybody says. He was an absolutely pain in the arse who also drive the ball upfield. Our crossing and set pieces are pants. There was chaos and commitment but fuck me we make mistakes. Turner (still better than Vlad) absolutely clusterfucked. Aaaaaargh. The goal at the end of the first half between two defenders…. Aaaaaargh.
Neco hit the post. Boly should have got on target. Toff’s so unlucky not to score. Yet! And this is the kicker. They went down to 10 and our press died.
We need quality up front for certain we also need luck. We also need to cut out the fucking mistakes!!!
Big ask!
I totally saw what coop’s was doing . Undogu (is that how you spell the name?) and Perro out of position and caught out a lot. Neco brilliant at getting the ball out quickly and up the line. We had a good game plan just could not deliver.
Bournemouth are good at pressing. Turner will probably fuck up in that game too. I think we need luck. Our pressing might be the way forward….
Fuck the fancy Dan technicians if they cannot fight. That is what we need right now. I cannot see anyone doing better than coops with the lads we have. We don’t have a natural goal scorer available unless Chris wood can actually get the ball in the box.
I thought this was a million times better than foolham. We had a chance. We were beaten by a better class of forward.
I want cooper to get a shot for the next game. I still think he might still be our best hope at the moment.
I think the Austrian fellow is a similar character so we replace a welsh man with a nazi and the same tactics. What would be the point?
Chicago: Still in the fight.
