It is strange Neil won't at least go for it to any capacity away from home. For that reason, I'm going to read absolutely nothing into this game other than Ralls continued to look poor and that we do need a right back, but I still wouldn't drop Bruno for what we have. Southampton is now probably our biggest game of the season with the games coming up after it. I want to say we'll win, but winning three in a row at home would be so impressive, I just don't think we will. (Even though I've predicted us to win )
14 points at the turn of the season would usually spell doom, but this season, it might be enough to keep us looking alright.
Positives? Huddersfield lost and....we scored at the end to help our goal difference a bit. Any others? I don't think so.
Move on time.
Yes. Traore's awful touch probably cost them a second.
There's no doubts that we're living on fine margins and great spirit. We look slower than most teams we've played so far and, surprisingly, have been outmuscled more often than I thought would happen. Some teams look considerably bigger and more imposing physically than we do. That's fine. We're in the business of building on promotion and hoping to stay up.
We were outplayed for the vast majority of that game by a side that are hardly world beaters. At times we were horribly disorganised at the back and showed very little up front. To cap a miserable evening I left just before we scored .
My guess is that the 4 forwards they used (Perez, Arnautovic, Hernandez and Carroll) earn more than our matchday squad.
I know they aren't as good as they should be but West Ham have serious resources and we will often find it hard to compete away against these squads.
Is Morrison really captain material? I tend to see Bamba and Gunnar barking orders at the other players and Morrison quite resevered, pace is a killer in this league for him and I agree with ccfc27 that we need a right back and play sol and Bruno or stick with 3 at the back
Morrison bailed us out a few times tonight and he was superb on Friday. He’s a good captain, Warnock goes out of his way to say it. We desperately need a right back, defensive mid and a striker. We are a lot slower than practically every side, mentally and physically and this is exaggerated away from home. We just look half a yard off the pace usually. Tonight we didn’t turn up in the second half, Camarasa’s miss apart
Morrison has been a lot better the last two games.
I don’t agree that these were there for the taking. Although until their goal, I thought we were gonna nick a draw at least. Felipe Anderson is ****ing quality. They have 4 strikers better than anything we have. Declan rice impressed me. They have quality all over the pitch. We shouldn’t be beating these away. Might be a different story at home though.
