I now accept that relegation would be a disaster, we are useless against combative sides. So pissed off with how we are playing so far, the same as we always play when pressed by donkeys :down:

They appear to have 10 warriors snapping at our ankles, fighting with their lives for every ball, on a mission to give us zero space.

Only Moder and Bissouma doing that for us.

Games are won first by the physical battle, second by play with the ball.

Too many gentle technicians or small players, being outfought in the first 45.

It always amazes me how players running at defences (Bissouma, Veltman) creates big problems for defenders but it happens so little and it seems like players taking the initiative rather than a tactic. It would also help if the striker after being put through actually finished clinically for a change.

Hope Maupay gets the equaliser, of all the baffling things about this season, his variation in form I find the most X Files like

I love the Albion but, dear God, we can be very hard to watch.. I think Biss is up for it, but whose with him?

Pedestrian in that half, slow, short of ideas and no urgency. A homing crab - sideways and backwards. D +. Must do better.

It's like the team of 83

Maupay is just not up to it - even if he scores - and we have to stop hoping he will come good.
