Some of you need to get a grip.
3rd defeat in 15 games & two of those have been against Spurs & Liverpool.
Don’t really know what you want from this squad.We’re comfortably holding our own heading into what looks like a fourth season in the Prem.
Eddie will probably make a couple of additions in the summer to make us stronger again but some of you wet yourselves because we lost to one of the most in form teams in Europe.
Absolutely right! Some people on this board need to take a breath sometimes I think. I will say, first of all, I do think we needed three in middle of midfield yesterday, I'd have had Lewis protecting the back three and then probably Gos and Harry biting ahead of him. [ and yes, I know mentioning Harry is a bit strange at the minute! ]. I'd also have started Lys and King up front for their pace and movement.
But after saying that - what did people think we could do up there, seriously? Go all gung ho and probably be picked off even more?? I actually thought we did pretty well defensively, Bego didn't have tons of huge saves to make. Big Cook lost Mane for their first goal sadly but I think we have to remember how good their front three is. Much better teams than us have been ripped to shreds by them. Just watch their movement, incredible! Aside from one horrendous cross field pass, Franno was fine, alongside Cook and Ake but the concentration needed across 90+ minutes against players like that is massive.
I am an Ibe fan overall, I think he was terrible yesterday aside from one shot that wasn't too far away. Gave possession away far too much. Daniels has gone at this level too, really sorry to say. I think Smudge would be left back if he wasn't injured.
Their second goal was awesome! Not many teams in the world could have done that. Hats off needed there. And the timing was a shame with Callum about to come on.
Again we see comments about next season being a struggle - the same people that have said this ever since we were promoted. Yes we all know the certain positions that need to be improved but Eddie hasn't done so bad this far, despite all our concerns. Every season at PL level is incredibly tough but it will be the same again for all teams outside the big six! We are better than some of our fans ever seem to think....but we can always improve too!
