Give your head a wobble we're up with the big boys now? What do you expect?

Good old Nigel. (I still think he's a ****.)
I think we just about deserved a point, Gross didn't have much choice re penalty, where was everyone else?
We still lack that killer instinct, but we didn't get torn a new one, let's face it our most expensive player is cheaper than their cheapest, they have some bloody good players, and it showed. They're stronger, faster and more skilful. Knockhaert was frustrated to the point of getting booked within 5 minutes. Andone should have played the whole game, Murray was useless against quality like VD Virgil.
Anyway, Palarse lost and and easy away point next week at the prawn cocktail arena
We were in the game the whole match and had a few chances, nothing went our way and despite the ref getting a vast majority of it right, none of the 50/50's went our way either. Losing 1-0

Didn't get to hear much of today game, did we attempt to go at them from the off, looking at Chris's lineup I assuming he went out with the defend at all cost method
Or am I just being cynical?
Not a complete surprise at 0-1 , but somewhat a little disappointed that we could not get a deserved point. OK so we had to do a lot of defending but then what else would you expect against one of the two best teams in the country , we did ourselves proud in defence and just lacked a little more bite up front.
Sadly I have to say the team selection disappointed me the most or at least the lack of earlier subs ... Murray won a few headers but was mostly chasing shadows which isnt his game and he lacks the pace to do effectively ... Andone showed how good he promises to be , wasn't on the pitch long enough but caused their defence more trouble than Murray had.
Gross is a good player and has a great pass in him as well as an eye for an opening but his lack of pace shows both going forward and back , I just feel if he is playing no.10 then he should push 10 yards closer to the main striker ... I do feel in the hybrid 4-3-3 there are better options than Gross with Kayal & Bissouma & our play improved IMO when Kayal came on for Gross.
March is just not cutting it for me at times , maybe he is taking defensive duties too much to heart but I cant help but feel he needs to be taking players on instead of holding up the play or passing backwards for support. I maybe being a little harsh but Knocky showed more attacking intent & although didnt always get things his way he was trying to take players on & beat them.
Apart from that no disgrace in losing to the league leaders by a single goal , especially when they didnt really look like scoring at any other time , it needed a penalty. Hopefully we can do a bit better at UTD next week as we may need to or we could find ourselves sliding down the table quickly.

Tearing it up. Played Norwich, Leeds, West Brom & Swansea in those 9 games

A little bit of ambition at home, some confidence in our own ability, some attacking intent, some entertainment. Got none of that today.
As you say, we’re up with the big boys now and need to start believing it. They’d just lost 2 games, had a midfielder at centre back we didn’t test at all, had all the pressure on them and none on us. So no, I won’t give my head a wobble.
I guess it was something he ate.

Knocky booked? I don't think so. Not one booking in the whole match.

I can't help but feel you need a cold shower followed by a reality check..

2018-19 -2 over two legs with the current top team in the league. (Liverpool, though there's a lot of season left for the Scousers to stumble.)
2017-18 -4 over two legs with the top team in the league. (City were on the beach last year when we saw them in May)
It's disappointing, but it's not that disappointing....

Well you talk a load of bollox tbf.
Missed out 'nearly', Dunk didn't get called over for a word for nothing, AK's 'Gallic flair' kicked in very quickly.

Actually they looked like scoring a few times and narrowly missed the target on at least 3 occasions. Thought Button did well.
