Went to the game last night, first time in nearly 2 years.

I was literally like a kid at Christmas yesterday, persuaded my dad to come with me, both buzzing and excited.

The game was flat and lacked creativity.

Gnabry head and shoulders above everyone, only player that showed pace and a desire to attack with purpose.

I must say, it became blindly obvious that once brunt went off, our defensive look clueless for distributing the ball. It's probably an unnoticed thing however everything form the back does generally go through Brunt so hopefully he isn't out for long!

The thing that stood out for me was that the only players looking like doing something were McManaman and Gnabry. And this is down to their pace. I think our team is too slow all over the pitch and this results in the type of football where it is in to feet, lay off, back to someone else etc etc...

There is a lack of driving forward, dribbling, bursts of speed.

I think we are crying out for Gamboa to get a game and last night was the perfect chance!

Sessengon would have made a good impact in that game as well, again because he is direct and pacey.

I was optimistic after the Chelsea performance, feel a bit delfated now and to be honest once the final penalty went in it was more of a relief the game was over and we could head back up the M1 to Leeds rather than an ecstatic feeling that we had win a tight game.

Hope Pulis puts a rocket up them today!
