There was one poster, not me. Definitely, high class CM beasts who took it turns to protect the CB’s, plus they won back the ball all over. We’ve gone from that set up/personnel, to zero defensive midfielders in some starting line ups. Gilmour’s creative, he hasn’t the power to win the CM...

Weak defensively. No DM’ers and an old player at RB.

I think he had performed well as a FB when called up in his time, but that was years back. Hard to criticise RDZ over the 12 months, but the starting line up of two slow technicians ‘protecting’ :lolol: the CB’s stunk. And all of the following highlighted what Veltman gives: Forest A Newcastle...

I thought the same mid match. He instinctively drives us forward and creates, a wealth of experience. Acting before any ten man defence is set.

As a full back, he’s simply too slow at that age.

I thought they had other clear chances.

Opposing that view, the crowd witnessed AEK ripping apart our dire defence from the off. Then an unmarked AEK player was presented with a gift. Then they continued to tear us apart on the counter. Imho you could read the wrong team being overrun. Crushing any spirit.

Was Veltman in the starting line up in those other shockers?

Typical Albion whining about officials. No Velrman, Dunk or proper DM was the killer. Keystone Cops from the start. They could easily have scored 6. Nonchalant to play two slow technicians in front of the CB’s. Seized upon by AEK, we made their CF look like Mbappe.

No Dunk, Veltman or true DM … many teams would’ve tore us apart tonight Their centre forward had our entire defence on toast.

Crikey, Van Hecke’s been destroyed all night.

Our corners/freekicks :facepalm:

They were silent at 1-1.

Imho we miss Dunk’s defensive organisation, and distribution driving us forward.

Should be 3-0 down!
