Very frustrating result that. We need to win games like these.
At least we're getting more points off them than City will lol.
Yeah, we were a little lucky, but you make your own luck. I didn't feel we were too dangerous in the final 3rd. We threatened, but lacked a goal threat.
I do love Nketiah, but maybe it's time to move on?
Poor defending and avoidable mistakes alsp cost us. Though you could say the same for Spuds.
Be disappointed (I know I am...), but the game is over and the resuøt won't change. Now we move forward! :)
@nuggsy @Astrealix Eddie showed his limitations
Confirmed that Declan Rice is an injury thing. Man has literally never been injured before coming here. fucks sake.
Third choice LW, third choice DM. What is our luck. Least we're not United with their CB situation ig
@Astrealix hopefully it's not serious
Feels like a loss. Doesn’t help that we really didn’t play well.
Where was the energy of the NLD's of the past?
It absolutely does. We started with so much energy and felt positive. The 2nf half felt lethargic.
If we're gunna play with such intensity, we need tp put the game to bed and control the rest of the game. Easier saod than done though
We weren't playing our best, started out lively but fizzed out and it shouldn't be like this. I thought we were done with that but guess not.
Many mistakes, nervous energy, our passing was not up to standards. I don't think starting Raya was a mistake, but there were many times he let a Spud get too close to him while he has the ball. Rammers would've just humped that ball to stop that flow. The two equalizing goals absolutely should not have happened, very lucky we held on to a draw. Sigh...
I'm gonna go do something else for the rest of the evening, I don't even want to think about this game right now 🫤
Our midfield became subpar when Rice and Vieira were substituted. Havertz gave something. Jorginho was abysmal. Then Odegaard disappeared. I expected more.
Nelson and ESR looked good, they deserved more time
@coygsu @Astrealix I’d say esr over Havertz at this point. Havertz continues to dissapoint
Yeah, Havertz wasn't terrible but ESR and Nelson brought dynamism that Havertz hasn't had for 2 seasons. The last 20 minutes needed players known for their direct play, but ESR was parked on the bench. Giving him 6 minutes in a NLD is just sad when Nketiah and Odegaard weren't contributing much in the second half.
Is Martinelli being intentionally benched? Rumors that Trossard is injured, Nketiah being kept on despite not being exactly what we needed in this match...
He strained his hamstring so I’m guessing it was precautionary even if he felt fit enough to play.
Ah, that's such a shame. I don't know if he was the answer, but we almost seemed to have no answers on the bench :/
Someone check to see if Jorginho put a bet down on a draw.
I was just going through our injury list and I had forgotten we signed Timber.
