Lack of creativity/attacking intent

[Bozza]

Sixteen shots on goal does not mean we had sixteen chances. We didn't. As such that statistic is a bit misleading in the context it is being presented.

That said, we clearly didn't have the rub of the green and on another day would have gone on to win that game, possibly quite comfortably. But we didn't. And we keep on failing in the same way.

Finally: if we had 16 shots on goal with the team Gus put out there, imagine how many we'd have if he'd put out a more attacking team from the off...

But the opposition might have had a lot more than four...

The opposition had the best chance of the game...and missed.*

*1 - although it might have been a save.
*2 - If he'd gone down under Bridcutt's challenge, we'd have been down to 10 men too.

He was offside tho.

A hilarious moment...

Think of how many goals we could have scored if we had that other elusive forward

 

[Kneon Light]

Where are you getting it from that he was not fit enough for 90 minutes?
I said the team selection was shit when I saw it, so there you go.

Poyet said after the game he was not fit enough for 90 minutes.

Orlandi was also injured. Lua Lua was awful when given a chance to start (birmingham?) and Dobbie has been accused of being shit for us so far by most.
So who would you have played instead??

 

[Bob!]

Poyet said after the game he was not fit enough for 90 minutes.

Orlandi was also injured........

And yet we get told before that we have a fully fit squad to choose from?

Or is Gus just telling the press that Buckley was not fully fit to cover his poor team selection?

 

[blockhseagull]

The most frustrating thing is how Poyet keeps saying how we need to make a faster start and get at them from the start and not allow the opposition to settle .....

But then picks a side without attacking intent which allows the opposition to get a foothold in the game

Ok Buckley couldn't play 90mins but we need to start with players like him and if need be only give him 45, we seem unable to chase the game so we need to control it and get on the front foot. We won't do that with Bridcutt, Crofts, Hammond and Barnes in the same starting 11.

That's not me having a go at any of those players individually its just far too cautious.

Totally agree.

 

[Easy 10]

starting line up crofts bridcutt hammond lopez all pretty much the same .when teams come down and see that they just no how we r going to play there is no plan b . buckley or lua lua should of started . heard poyet interview and he basically said every team is the same . well i dont agree leicester wont play one up at home against us on tuesday nor will blackpool .every team poses a different threat imo.he also said that eventually one team is going to get spanked ,well on these latest performances i dont think so last three homes games 1 point from a possible 9 thats relagation form not top half. you could sense that for the first time poyet is under pressure .can he turn it around hope so and needs to quick with the next two tough away games comming up we could be bottom half this time next saturday

Your punctuation is appalling.
Your observations are spot on.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

The players might be different but nothing has changed from last season still so slow still sloppy in the pass.

Fair enough, apologies.
On reflection it probably was the only line-up possible for the players available. LuaLua was so shit it was unreal against Ipswich.

Hopfully on day we'll start to see an attacking line up instead off an defensive formation.

The latter

I am not going to over analyse the starting line up. We dominated the game and were unlucky with the goal.

I wouldn't have said we dominated the game.

fairly even first half, we had the better of the second but couldn't score.

I would like to see us start games quicker, and not set up like an away team.

 

[Barnham Seagull]

would rather have Sparrow in the side, at least he shoots...

Well the longer we go with out winning and keep losing then Gus will put out a more defensive line up to stop the rot and that'll only mean one thing. more defeats.

Agree with pretty much all of that
