bcfc01 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 10 championship teams playing against EPL opposition today. So far 9 are losing or already lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 For all that we are 2-0 down we've played nice football going forward. Eliasson has been pretty well neutralised but it's taken a top player in van Aanholt and their left winger to do that. Against lesser opposition Eliasson will do much better. We've passed sharply in the final third I think and on a couple of occasions the Palace defence have looked almost as poor as ours. Dasilva, Pack, Szmodics and Weimann have all played well so far. Diedhiou has been very involved but hasn't quite managed to work a clear cut chance for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRaw Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Ok to summarise and yes, I know it’s pre-season, but..... back four, sort your shit out, been woeful webster, £30 million midfield.....or should we rename them misplace forwards......we need 1 if not 2 quality additions (been saying this for 3/4 years).....regardless of the potential of semenyo, Janneh, if we don’t bring new forwards in we are going nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 A problem I have had for a long time is that gap between our defence and midfield. Without Korey we are weak there. Palace keep running with the ball at our back 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire reds Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 i just wish we would sign a top striker and a quality midfielder who can sit just in front of the back 4. pack is not good enough. sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 I think that 45 would be quite familiar to many people who watched us last season. Perhaps that's no surprise given that 9/10 of the outfield players are the same. Decent possession and we looked good going forward at times. However you can see that we still lack the consistent threat of a sharp cutting edge in the box. Too often the sharp passing ends with a weak dinked cross to the back post or a scrappy shot from 25yds. As I said earlier Eliasson has been very well neutralised by an excellent van Aanholt. At the back we've been caught out on the counter. Again a story we all recognise from last season. Generally it looks to me as though we've got better at what we were already good at - short passing, making good runs, and controlling possession, but we've not made huge strides towards ironing out those kinks in our game that undermine those great positives. Hopefully the 2nd half sees us change this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we keep conceding a couple of goals in the first 20 minutes, we will need to sign Harry Kane and Ronaldo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling Elliason is going to have a good season too. Unfortunately, that will mean squat if we let in more than we score every game.........we are really missing a midfield general who would take the pressure of the defence. Oh and a nippy little striker. I can only think that Lee is working on both of these requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redrascal2 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Apart from Sammie nothing has changed since last year in terms of outfield players. So the same issues are still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 First time watching the game from the Lansdown. Half time observations... I haven't been crippled by a lack of leg room. Dyson Blade (v5) in the gents. THIS IS OUR SEASON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westonred Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Same as last season a lot of huffing and puffing around the box but no finished product i hope were not going to regret spending £8m on Kallas when that money could have been used to bring in a quality striker which we've needed for two seasons now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Exactly the same ingredients used in exactly the same way recipe. Expect the same as last year. Lack of any sort of attacking presence will cost us again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have Pirlo in front of the back 4, but unless you have movement in front of you or someone creating an angle ( why do players stand behind opposition players? ), then you ain’t going to be able to pass forward! Might need my tin hat, but it’s his midfield partner that needs to get more involved for me. I look at us & as strange as it sounds, I sometimes think we are over coached & rigid.

wendyredredrobin Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 I hope Andi Weimann isn't being played on the wing again. He's proved he can score when he plays up top and his movement is so much better than the static Diedhiou (who should have been put out to grass months ago).
