Matchday thread - Toon v Citeh

[Colback's Orange Tufts]

If Burn isn't getting torched for pace, he's back peddling scared away from the ball to avoid them beating him 1:1. He's basically become an Iron Mike fullback.

I think this is really harsh, second game on the bounce he's getting no cover. For the goal Silva wasn't his man, he was getting overlapped and still managed to nearly get a block in.

It's a bit of both for me. He's a CB out of position and it's telling, but he's being put in a position to fail

Bruno picked some lovely passes through their defence in that bit of possession we had, this isn't over yet.

[Cal]

But it might be if our backline keeps getting yellows

[Colback's Orange Tufts]

Now that's a yellow

[UlversToon]

Season over.

[Don Sholeone]

Different weekend, same mistakes, same favourites, same s****.

I’m not watching live, but if you’re writing this at 2-0 down to the English, European and world champions I’ll have some of what you’re smoking

[originallad]

Yay. Hope gone.

[originallad]

Season over.

We could still finish 7th!! Trips to Slovenia, Azerbaijan and Albania are still possible!

[UlversToon]

Isak should be scoring there.

It was 1-0 then

Even 8th might see us there.

I'm loathed to jump on a reactionary bandwagon but if Howe doesn't experiment for the rest of the season and persists with the usual.. Questions need asking

[Don Sholeone]

I don't care who we are against, how good they are, as a team we have to at least make it something other than a training match for the opposition. We make things far too easy for teams this year, and a lot of the time it hasn't even been against the top opponents.

[Colback's Orange Tufts]

Dan Burn pressing and closing down the keeper. Galaxy brain tactics here

Get him off, see what Hall can do

That gets at it for me actually. He's being directed to play so narrow, which consistently leaves him having to pick between the ball and the overlapping run, and he's then left in no man's land. If you're going to play 5 at the back the LWB and LCB have to do better, because they won't get the same cover.

[Don Sholeone]

f***ing amateurs man

[Remember Colo]

Different weekend, same mistakes, same favourites, same s****.

I still feel like we missed a trick not trying to attract some more proven talent in the summer before CL, and instead now we'll be trying to negotiate off the back of an underwhelming season.

We tried a small number of quality additions + youth. But the additions have barely played and the depth is crap

[overseasTOON]

Have we won yet?
