That half was as poor as the first 45 against Leicester, but now more of a challenge because we conceded a really poor goal. Just bad defending, Bowen should not have a free header from there. A big mountain to climb in the 2nd half now, with not a lot on the bench to change things.

A year ago I would’ve never thought that but I wouldn’t be against it if we could get someone like Wirtz. The ‘he was injured’ and ‘he hasn’t got white and saka’ cards have been overplayed now.

I mean there is such a thing as too many injuries. You can't replace everybody. We all want to be optimistic and you shouldn't use injuries as an excuse (blah blah) but this 11 we are running out there was, realistically, never going to catch Liverpool...

Odergaard isnt a problem specifically, it’s more than he’s having too much ball and being expected to do too much with it. He’s sensational in combinations but he’s basically carrying the ball trying to create from all areas and he’s really not that player.

Honestly, all I asked since the moment he came to us is just release the ball. He is out muscled in almost all duels and most annoying, almost never pass the overlap. The last one is a sickness in this team for a while now. Sometimes he does great passes. Sometimes.

Absolutely. I’ve heard some justifying his shit displays by saying ‘well he doesn’t have White and Saka’. Nonsense. He should be able to contribute to games when they’re not playing.

I'm generally not a doomer but I don't see us scoring two more goals than them the way we're playing. Awful stuff, 3 defenders around Bowen just watching him do whatever he wants

Pathetic defending. If we’re going to give goals like that away, we’ve got no chance. Odegaard has had his issues this season but he HAS to start contributing more or we’re done. We’re not carrying enough attacking threat and he’s one that can do A LOT better. No excuse for his terrible shooting

I think when it fell to odegaard side foot at the edge of the box that was a shot but the commentator thought he was trying a pass😩 absolutely zero conviction or belief with him at the moment. He needs to do better

This was one of the worst defensive performances I’ve seen this year. Paired with a toothless offence, halfhearted attempts on goal and bad luck, an all round sad match. West Ham closed us down and prevented our ‘secret weapon’ corners. Potter figured us out while at our weakest & so will others

too many times has the team done ok until we are in with a chance to make some ground on Liverpool or in a semi final... and we fail to turn up every time... there is an issue with the teams mentality
