Don't know who's playing RB against Arsenal if KWP is out and AMN club tied. Might have to go three at the back and hope Djenepo can fill in at wing back - or give Lewis Payne a baptism of fire. Jwp could, he’s not at his best at cm at the mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 Important to get a clean sheet there and other than Bazunu dropping that cross it was pretty comfortable. Bazunu was excellent otherwise, and all 3 CB's played well too. We only got any vague rhythm going forward when Stuart Armstrong came on. The most disappointing part of our play was the poor passing and needless turnover of possession, especially at times when players weren't even under pressure. Enjoy the win. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekelund Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 I feel like we’ve shown 1 of 2 bollocks. It’s a start. Subs did well, all of them. AMN growing into it. Perraud underrated.

Lighthouse Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 A win and a clean sheet, away from home, with our two best players injured. I’ll take that against any opposition, any season. If we can play well for periods against Wolves, Spurs and Everton and get zero points, I’m taking the three when we’re sh*te, no questions asked.

JohnS Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 A much needed 3 points But yet another truly painful watch! Really poor & think that we’ve gone backwards. Not playing together well as a team, all over the place. Shocking passing at times & not much fight through the side apart from the normal few. Ralph’s body language over the past week is telling - think he’s finally accepted his fate & it can’t happen soon enough! Stuart Armstrong & Diallo had a great impact when getting on 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarehamSaintJames Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 (edited) To summarise, yes it was a crap game. We didn’t produce much but Bournemouth didn’t either. Honestly didn’t feel nervous that half, just thought it passed by quite quickly. Adams did very well. As did DCC, Salisu and Bazunu (let’s forget the dropped corner 😅). AMN looked ok but more lethargic as time went on. Definitely needs more game time. Aribo was poor tonight but also bear in mind AMN won’t be available for our next match and someone will have to fill in that CM/RB role so not a bad decision as things go. Diallo looked good when he came on - probably good given the previous point. A. Armstrong and Elyounoussi - I don’t know what they bring to the team. For tonight at least let’s lay off with the “Ralph Out” crap - enjoy the result against our “rivals” (as described from Bournemouth fans), and take the win. I wouldn’t say tonight looked like a team not playing for the manager. 👍🏻 Edited 19 October, 2022 by FarehamSaintJames 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ButtikonSaint Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 Got to be happy with that. Aribo a bit anonymous, wondering if an old fashion number 10 free role behind the 2 strikers would suits him better (although I think that's the perfect role for Stu). Defensively pretty sound. DCC, Salisu and Lyanco did well. Perraud is a pit bull. Hope KWP is ok. Che and Arma need to start the next 5 games together up front to really build on that partnership. Loved the last 10mins Tiki-taka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintReuben Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 Scrappy hard fought win, lacking cutting edge at times.

S-Clarke Posted 19 October, 2022 Share Posted 19 October, 2022 (edited) Our first win in god knows how long was always going to be like this, nervy, backs against the wall for periods. We were fortunate Bournemouth couldn't really muster much quality up top, as we kept giving them the ball back. We did defend well against them though, I don't remember many 'clear cut' chances. My main criticism of our game - our ball retention was horrendous. Key players like KWP, JWP just tossing it away time and time again in really dangerous positions. AMN looks too casual on the ball; I don't know why he thinks he can dally around on it. Adams clearly the best forward we had, put a shift in, run their defenders around and got the goal. Adam Armstrong put in a shift, he ran around but he hasn't got the physicality to offer what Adams does and he also doesn't have the ability to offer anything else...so he's a pretty mute player really. Not a great game to watch, not much to be excited about - but we needed to get a win by hook or crook and that's what it was at the end of the day.
