Yep the second half subs and sitting back for 35 minutes killed us. The game had back and forth until then, we just let ourselves get penned in and as soon as that happens you feel like you know how it will end.
Really not seeing the point of Arias yet. He's playing off the right now but looks...
Terrible subs, sitting deep far too early. Not sure what Vitor has seen of these players in training but nothing about our performances this season screams "can defend a one goal lead for 35 minutes".
I'm hanging on to the knowledge that this defence was pretty solid in the second half of last season and so it can be again, but the precipitous decline of Agba is very worrying and Vitor needs to sort that out. Can't have your "best" centre back giving away goals for free every week.
We look...
Not sure what Arias has been offering, looks very static to me. Not coming close to get the ball, not darting into space, just kind of floating in front of the defence most of the time. He's won the ball back to little effect a couple of times.
At one point he played a good through ball to...
Very concerning that Vitor came in and turned our central defence from a clown car to solid, and with the exact same personnel it's somehow reverted to clown car over the summer.
What's happened to Agba?
I'm watching this with a Blackburn fan mate of mine and he says their fans are already demoralised from a few years of under investment and thinks this might be the final nail in the coffin in terms of fan revolt.
On the plus side he's 100% sure they we're going to smash them. They're not even...
We needed a game like this. Felt on top pretty much all half. Impressed by all the forward players except Guedes shooting foot. Hoping that doesn't cost us and we can keep up the energy in the 2nd. 3 points here would be big considering other results.
I dunno, I'm warmed to 2024-25 Guedes. Efforts good, he has talent and moments of skill to beat a man, just looks like he lacks the confidence for the final ball/shot. He'd be in my first team out of our current fit bunch.
