Too many times this season we have hardly created a thing going forward. If we had a proper defence, you can get draws on the back of it.
But our defence is dodgy. Thought the whole back 4 were rubbish...Schindler and Zanka opened up at will....Malone was dreadful. Hadyergonads was one of the best players we had.
Mooy needs to spend a few weeks on holiday....he looked like he was on holiday on Sat. Hogg was rubbish...doing a lot of shouting and trying to gee up the lads....but he looked the Championship player he probably is.
VLP about our best player. Didn't like the look of Pritchard at all. Seemed to be playing with a team of strangers he hadn't met before.
Mounie had nowt to feed on. Ince was rubbish also.
Teams have found out how we play, and have changed their tactics to counter it. It's not that hard to do.
I've said this about Wagner from day one......he doesn't have a plan B. Love the man, but he needs a backroom staff member that has some ideas in how to adapt. He clearly can't.
It's going to be a long road to the end of the season now. For the first time on Sat all season, I thought we could well go down.
Squeaky bum time.
Surprised by this, thought he was a massive weak link and Stoke played on him - Chupo Moting bullied him the entire game. Impressed with the big bloke both times we've played them to be fair.
Harsh to single anyone out though - we're in dire straits as a team at the minute. Hopefully the confidence doesn't take too much of a beating these next 2 games so we can bounce back at home to Bournemouth. Back to basics like everyone has said above - press, press, press and then press some more.
