Not gonna be knee jerk about this.
Whats the story with the pitch? It wasn’t great, surely this hybrid pitch we spent millions on, that had a disease when first installed, is fixed by now?
Sevco had the momentum from the start and only in parts did we put pressure on them. They’ve been in Europe too, so no excuse on tiredness.
Forrest hasn’t played well for weeks, but there’s no real replacement for him. Him, Christie and Johnson weren’t really in the game, and brown & McGregor surely are the guys to battle and give them the springboard to attack. As much as I love brown, he can be prone to sitting too deep on our defenders, probably at having no faith in his pace. When it’s going well, he’s immense, when it’s not, he can look like a passenger. A tough call is coming soon surely. And that means spending big.
Ajer needs to stop going to ground way too quick. It’s great when it comes off, same for Jullien, but they’re prone to being caught out trying to look clever. They’re needing a steady head in there to get them back going, this is too big a club to be learning on the job.
why was Frimpong playing within himself for so long? He done a couple of shimmies then just passed back. He should’ve had that young bravery to just go for it and I’m sure he’d have panicked them and at least won fouls.
they’ll be getting hardons for days from this. I keep hearing about how superior we are. Especially on TCB, about how crap Gerrard is and his win ratio. They’ve done well in Europe, could be a point in front if they win they’re game in hand, and out the last 5 games only once have we shown up and I didn’t actually think we were as good as folk made out.
if we’re knackered, then Lennon should be managing that better!
