    And of course Wilson will get his usual goal against us.

    If I were a betting man I'd probably lump on 0-2 now.

    Ings being readied now.

    A semi,promising move and Soler tries a ridiculous flick on the edge of the box resulting in them getting a breakaway opportunity
    .

    Soler…….arrrggghhhh
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Soler playing a blind pass behind. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't go to a WH player.

    Really, he thought that was a good decision?

    Naughty by Burn on Scarles, and he's in the book.
  • alderzalderz
    4-4-2 with a midfield of Bowen Soler Paqueta and Kudus is absolutely nuts.

    Not been a great watch

    Ferguson with some rubbish decision making there. Two bad choices in 20 seconds.

    Poor and disappointing. We used to be good under the lights.

    I didn't think I could see anything worse than Mavrapanos trying to run forward and lose the ball, when there was a pass on....

    How boring are we?

    And are people not bored of watching Kudus play? I am.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    All over, 0-1 😭😭😭.
  • alderzalderz
    Kudus was literally the only exciting thing about our forward play. I get that he’s wasteful, and I get that his decision making can leave a lot to be desired, but I think that criticising him after today’s display is weird.

    We barely made their keeper work tonight.
    We weren’t awful, but at the same time lots to work on…
    Oh well…

    We need a huge reset and change to personnel in the summer.

    That Newcastle collar is diabolical. It doesn’t even stretch the whole way around and they all look like scruffy primary school kids.

    That’s my important takeaway from this game

    I genuinely could not disagree more. I don’t find him exciting at all. I find him predictable, one-footed, wasteful & ineffective at most things he does.

    Well that was a pretty lackluster and scrappy affair that frankly I am not sure either side did enough to truly deserve the points, Newcastle will obviously be happy to take them but honestly, were they any good themselves….please discuss

    As for WHU, we end up with nothing and never looked like we deserved anything different- we huffed and puffed but imo, we never played with any real urgency or fluidity and I do not recall us creating a single flowing move of promise.

    Ho hum
  • LukerzLukerz
    I am not sure how the Newcastle goal was allowed to stand. Kilman is centimetres away from heading the ball & gets a two handed push in the back. I can’t get how that is not deemed a foul & a crucial intervention in that goal being scored.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    We got what we deserved and that was nothing. We are so boring and created absolutely nothing and even in those last few minutes still kept going backwards or stupidly losing the ball and Newcastle simply strolling through us. They should have had at least a couple in stoppage time if their final ball had been better.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    We had 11 days to prepare for this game but looked as if we’d played last night and didn’t really have a shot after 8.30 pm.
    According to Sky our average shots per game under Potter is 9 which we did tonight which is the lowest in the PL.
    I don’t think the “push” on Kilman was significant as he never really made a serious attempt at heading the ball first as he was leaning forwards rather than jumping as if expecting the ball to drop on his head.
    Scarles was then caught out by Bruno who was more alert in getting to the ball.

    Disappointing game. We lacked creativity and bite. Hopefully, we are safe but ought to finish as high as possible to build momentum for the next season. Worth trying young, hungry players.
    Scarlet rarely crosses or goes past his man. Not sure if that is the manager's instructions or something else.
  • LukerzLukerz
    The side is too safe but it’s what Potter has to work with. Summerville offers us a different option but he’s unavailable. We seem to be struggling at home & haven’t settled on any sort of rhythm in our performance.
  • LukerzLukerz
    It’s nice to see Scarles playing & he’s doing ok, but he’s a safe LWB. He’s not offering us any threat going forward.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    I agree Lukerz. But it's his breakthrough season so all you hope for is ( imo) solidity and composure. There are many years yet to develop him to a genuine PL attacking LB.

    I think safety in your first season is pretty good going.

    I guess at his age he can certainly improve those skills with the right coaching 👍🏻⚒️

    A poor game. It always looked as if one goal would settle it, but neither team deserved the win. Not the most memorable 90 minutes. Liverpool will not be too worried for next Sunday.
