Great atmosphere, definitely could see the style of play difference from last season. Stuck in traffic on the M1 now. Hope you aren’t writing forum posts and driving?

pikerman 1,121 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 A lot of positives tonight but I still am unsure where Fletcher fits into that team yes he scored but for me did little else in the game. What worries me about him is his lack of movement off the ball in that system he should be making space for Assombalonga but he just stands around. I think maybe it is time to cut our losses and use the money for a different type of forward Link to post Share on other sites

SmogDane 4,056 Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Seems like Westham fans cry over losing Marcus Browne ? Link to post Share on other sites
BoroJake 2,345 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I feel bad for the full back. Took him about 10 minutes to realise where the ball went 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'd agree, that looked like the Ayala of old and not last years Ayala. I didn't think he looked that much better to be honest. He was getting caught out when pressing as well. I don't think it helped having Shotton one side of him and Howson the other but I don't think this pressing game will suit him at all. He's never been the quickest and he has a tendency to try and get in front of an attacking player when the ball is being played into them but being too slow he often get there too late and the ball is gone and he's out of position. I think he looked better because of what he was playing alongside rather than because he was great himself. Edit - I will say that he was the only one that looked assured whenever the ball was played into our penalty area though. That's one of his strengths but he may as well have been trying to defend them on his own at times so that definitely gets a thumbs up from me ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only criticism of woody tonight though, he got it spot on apart from that Link to post Share on other sites

ERG1008 5 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I think it was probably a fair result but the penalty miss was bad. Clayton, Wing and Ayala were good but I thought Shotton was awful.Coulson played well but was exposed a few times. Link to post Share on other sites

ladyspite 385 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I thought we looked very good in the first press, but omg we nned to learn to have a second one too, as soon they played through our first press it was autostrada...... that shouldent be possible when you play with 3 central midfielders But I enjoyed the match overall, just need to work on defensive set pieces and that second press..... 2 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroJake 2,345 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Part of the reason why coulson was so exposed is that Shotton seems to go walkies every few minutes, poor coulson had to mark 2 players Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,056 Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 This game had 2 contenders for goal of the month... Bradley and Wing! Amazing game to watch for neutrals I guess. It had it all.. Lots of goals and chances .. Drops, penalty claims (might be given with VAR) Missed penalty, and two teams who played footbal in every way that Pulis will never understand!
