Creativity


We created very little. It’s the only thing missing and it’s the hardest and most expensive thing to get into a side.

Wilson looks lost in some games and when that happens with only 1 upfront, it leaves very little. We’re becoming a bit of a set piece and throw ins side, nothing wrong with that but it sides like Everton defend well it reduces the threat overall hugely,
 
I genuinely haven’t a clue how or who misses out but La Fee has to be CM, look at the 2 games we’ve played and how many open play chances we’ve created against 2 sides that will be right there with us.

RW upgradeis needed massively as well to let Talbi and Adingra fight it out LW

Haway the lads
Rw upgrades?? Traore was our best attacker tonight
 
Talbi left and Le Fee right for me because Le Fee can play anywhere and Talbi looks great off the left. I agree Traore played well but I’d prefer Talbi’s explosiveness. Adingra quite literally waiting in the wings for a chance.
 
I was disappointed we stuck with 5 at the back til the end.

We should've brought off one of the defenders - probably Hume given both he and Nordi were on yellows but we rely so much on his long throws. Would have been better with Rigg or Neil in midfield, or moving Le Fee there and bringing on a winger or even going two up top.

We were on top but didn't really threaten to score outside of set pieces with even the goal being a big deflection.
 
Oh for a final ball. But that is a common cry at most Premier League grounds. But what tenacity this vastly improving set of players showed in a second half of non- stop endeavour and pressure. We won just about every 50-50 ball and a few at 40-60. Every player looked as though they could do something on the ball. But oh, that final ball, and oh that first 30 minutes.
 
Isidor should have scored, Ballard first half and unlucky with the Mukiele kick to the shoulder after Xhaka's fizzed in cross off the top of my head.
Created next to next to nowt then

The goal was very very fortunate Pickford was waiting for it rolling to him until the defender had a brain fart
