That’s the only consolation,we have gears to go up,(hopefully)augie wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2023 1:50 pmWe are BY FAR the better team, but by same token I dont think we are playing anywhere near as well as we can - vieira and nketieh have been dogshite, and zinchenko is putting in zero effort defensively. It is no coincidence that they danger moments are coming down zinchenko's side, and just watch the total lack of sprint effort he puts in when the play goes behind him - denilson still gets villified for a similar effort against manure a few years back ffs![]()

Problem is, if Eddie goes off, Havertz comes on..... I'm not sure what's worse!?

So many posters on here rave about him when he's out injured, but when he's back it is glaringly obvious that he is not a top striker. We saw that at City, Pep saw it, Arteta didn't.cameron326 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2023 1:49 pmJesus should have put the game to bed. His finishing is shocking for a top level attacker.

Jesus just needed to pick his spot and place it when he robbed Maddison, no idea why he tried to burst the net instead.
1 clean sheet in out last 11 home league games, massive issue.

Fucking irritating. That Jesus chance and not even hit the target FFS!
Nketiah a passenger for about 40 mins of that half and not strong enough to hold up play. Saka flakey too

Oirish Deckers needs to step up here and show what he can do. He hasn't made any clangers but he was mostly anonymous and ineffective that half. This is the type of game where the big personalities have to lead the rest.
Eddie needs to be hooked ASAP. A couple of nice touches every other game and a goal every now and again is not enough. Fucking Sling him.
Make no mistake this is a shit scum team and we should beat them comfortably but our inconsistencies could easily see them beat us.

He’s a great player overall, but against the top teams his poor finishing will cost you points. Awesome to have in the squad, but missing sitters in big games is why we still need an upgrade IMO.
Re: Spuds aka Nolia Cup(Sweden) Winners 1977 H Sun sept 24th KO 2pm
We should be out of sight but the last few minutes of the half were shocking, zero control and just letting them run at us. As for Nketiah, he's championship level and shouldn't be at the, let alone be starting for us.

Yep Jesus should have scored but we shouldn't be relying on 1 chance. We should have been 3 up after dominating and yet we simply dropped off and let them back in. Anything down thr middle just comes straight back.
Viera has been quiet but at least can hold onto it. Eddie simply cannot.
As you can tell I'm so pissed off seeing the like of him and klive play and bring us down. There utter shit and liabilities like Clive was. Iys simple self harm. Trossard plays Jesus in middle we walk it. Eddie's made 0 positive things. Not one.

Havertz on to Score the Winner!
Re: Spuds aka Nolia Cup(Sweden) Winners 1977 H Sun sept 24th KO 2pm
The biggest weakness in this squad is undoubtedly the CF position. Said it right from the start of the season. Nketiah and Jesus just aren't up to being the main man up top and it will cost us badly. Should have been 3 up before they scored

We should be bursting these *word censored* bubble by 3 to 4 goals...yet we making it hard work and probably get done cos we too causal and too many passengers. Or actually 5th columnists as all Eddie has done is messed up promising attacks and just strolled around.
