This thread is pointless now, Steel could let in ten pea rollers in one half and someone will make an excuse for him. My biggest gripe is he never digs us out of trouble any half decent shot and he’s flapping at it watching the ball fly in the net. I don’t want to see our keeper spilling that...
Tactics all wrong last night, Walker needed a pacy winger to stop him coming forward as much as he did last night. Adingra would have done he spent his time over the half way line receiving quality kicks from his keeper. Draw them in with no outlet seemed to be the order of the day I counted...
I’ve never seen Gross sarcastically clapping the ref as much as he was last night.
If you give the Foden slip you have to give the pen Gross was pointing out.
Our players sussed it early on clear bias towards the opposition.
Not with you on this with Bissouma early on he still had good ball control this lad I dunno runs into blind alleys because he can’t find a pass quick enough. Hasn’t got great control of the ball maybe one that won’t work out.
Personally think If Chelsea hadn’t have gone mental with the fee which we couldn’t turn down Baleba would not be here. It would have been prudent to let him carry on in France and monitor him which may have been the plan. Seemed a bit panicky was never going to replace either of the departed...
