Can someone tell where the 6 mins added on came from? Plus what set Nobel off at the end?
The last minute not names but
Also, what About Rice and Kouyate for their second, that is rank poor defending
Bilic does not have the answers to our endemic problems. Not his fault that he doesn’t have the answers because maybe he just isn’t capable. The sheer number of times we are conceding at least two goals in a game. It just isn’t sustainable - fun whilst someone like Payet is wreaking havoc at the other end, but just not tenable. When all sorts of different personnel and formations have been tried there is nothing left but to make a change at the top IMO
Just my opinion.
"If we hadn't been scuppered by injuries, I would have liked AC on for Chicarito. Who was strolling around in an offside position when we had the ball down at their end in the last 20 mins or so"
To me, he doesn't look fit. Don't know if anyone else noticed, but whenever there was a close-up of him, he seemed to be struggling to get his breath. ;hmm
If you look at most of our goals conceded there was an individual mistake, of some kind, almost glaring.....
We've been letting in late late goals since SA reign (and probably before)
I remember the groans and moans when he'd throw on a couple of defenders to see the game out, now we're forced with our injuries etc and SB doesn't have much of a choice and they still hang the manager out to dry.
It's a mental thing, is it SB responsibility, possibly but he's not a bloomin therapist!
Thanks for asking ;ok
If we had 8 games to go, not 28 I'd possibly see where you were coming from
;ok
Conceding penalties
Conceding last minute goals
Drawing/losing from a winning position
;hmm
It's like people saying Wednesday was down to Noble, not Slav, then first 20 minutes of today it was down to Noble that we were struggling....
No, it's really not down to one person or one factor. It's nearly always a combination of events good and bad.
IMO
It's better to be prepared. ;wink
I would like to know if Cress was injured because if it was tactical certainly didn’t work as Masulka was pretty poor.
Players are making stupid errors, not even footballing errors but judgment errors that lads in my boys team would not make. I have not seen his team give away a penalty as needlessly as ogbonna or been as casual and absent mindedness as Antonio, or as ill disciplined as Carroll was two weeks ago.
As for Slav his tactics are terrible as to try and soak up pressure for 45 minutes clearly had such a risk factor, he sits with Arto on the bench, 28m of his funds from the summer as he cant actually even play him yet he has no quality defensive midfielder, he luckily has Carroll fit otherwise he has only Chico from his summer business as an attacker, yet he has Arto on the bench who appears surplus to requirements. He has had four transfer windows and even accepting most of last seasons have been returned he has no credible system for which he bought them, is over supplied in some positions and weak in others.
We have let points slip against Soton, Burnley, Spurs and Palace in my view through a mixture of Slavs team selection and tactics and poor player discipline or stupidity (choose as you wish). I love Slav but time to see what a new man can do with what is without doubt a decent bunch of individuals who need forming into a team and drilled in how to play with discipline and perform the basic tasks of their position.
I don't think Palace had us under any pressure, we just chose not to offer anything more to the game and got the most inevitable result.
Next week, will be a big test against Liverpool and if the WHU of second-half at Tottenham turn up we can we can take the points.
Much over reaction on here imo. We scored 2 good goals against a pretty poor Palace side and 'IF' we had held on a lot of what has been written wouldn't have been. 2 heinous errors cost us dear with only Hart coming out head held high.
How many of our players would get into other Prem teams? Well most imo.
How many of our players will be here when we are in the Championship? Really?
It was a better performance than against Brighton but basically nothing much has changed. Billic selected the wrong team imo. Rice should have started at CB instead of Kouyate who should have been in MF for Fernandes and Obiang in for Noble.
But even then we still have no game plan and an inability to string 3 passes together. We almost opened them up 5 or 6 times but for a misplaced or mishit 5m pass.
So it's still Bilic out for me.
IF we had won it would just have papered over the cracks until the next time IMHO. I don't believe many would have been convinced.
The number of individual mistakes, plus penalties plus glaring ref errors (rescinded reds etc) is staggering
