That might be today's match report Army88.There is so much wrong with our whole set up it’s hard to blame one thing entirely, here goes.
The squad is fragile at best we’re an injury ( Taylor) away from disaster at any point.
We persist with a 4 centrally and Cork ( who is.A Decent footballer ). Is absolutely dead on his feet after half an hour. ( he has no pace anyway and consequently we are punished for it. ).
We have not one ounce of pace in the team - everyone who comes to Burnley has pace and we will suffer for that. Our football is slow and laboured.
Bardsley and Peters are at the wrong end of their careers to play well in the premier league end off.
If you let people like Zaha within 6 yards of your goal without stopping him he will punish you near post far post take your pick.
Mee. - as much as I like him makes rash moves - did so twice yesterday got away with it once the second Schlupp punished him. ( this is the best league in the world mistakes get punished. ).
Barnes and wood were the most in affectual I have seen them , we had one tactic and they didn’t compete, literally didn’t compete - we got bullied.Couldn’t keep the ball at their end of the pitch.
Wow we missed Westwood - he’s a stalwart who gets through a mountain of work imagine how Much we could improve if we introduced someone with him who’s mobile quick , athletic and a decent footballer.
Ending on , this was a abject performance where I really felt for McNeil he kept at his job and delivered some great ball for a front two who couldn’t be arsed to make the runs or get there for him. ( they left him on his own a lot yesterday - no support or runners to try and make space for him ).
Lastly Palarce are good side blessed with good footballers and pace , yes they dived and rolled around but they were better organised than us and took their chances,
Woy simply our thought and out fought us.
