It is though. They made tactical changes. We made personnel changes. We then didn’t adjust our tactics to nullify their changes. There was a mental component for sure but we could have also adjusted tactically.

We didn’t you’re right. But they made a couple of changes as did we and then we fell apart under the slightest pressure. We’ve seen it for several years now that panic sets in with this group.

It was partly about tactics. Coventry got a massive slice of luck with the deflected goal but the space they found is because of our team setup. Eventually, if you let teams shoot constantly they'll smash it in the top corner or it will deflect in the other side.

Yeah, that's why I said I'd play more compact. The defence doesn't have enough pace to play high so the forwards and midfield need to play deeper.

Taking a winger off should have little bearing on the results at that point. I’m sure there are example of us giving up leads with Garnacho playing there full 90. It’s a wider problem with how we defend under pressure and an inability to keep the ball and calm the game down. Even when we tried...

Other than playing McTominay and Mainoo together in midfield and instructing them to be really defensive minded what other lineup could you put out there? McTominay being deployed further forward led to the first goal and we were comfortable for a lot of the game. Our fit midfielders yesterday...

Mount and Amrabat weren’t in the squad.

Regarding the squad and its vibes I think that’s why I have such a problem with Bruno. As our Captain he sets the tone and while he played better than most yesterday he shows little composure at the best of times. That sets the tone for the team. When we concede the goal to make it 3-1 it should...

We aren’t beating those teams to a candidate anyway.

Eriksen looked much more comfortable when we were playing a more possession based style last year. The endless basketball games we are playing now exposes his lack of pace and energy at this point. The only thing I can think is that ETH is somehow committed to working on something for the...

They are though. There are yes/no decisions. It’s not close. It’s just offside or not.

Never in doubt

Technically, every offside is a clear offside.

It’s not a penalty according to the rules. However, it’s also not a clear and obvious error so it can’t be overturned. It absolutely shouldn’t be given though. His arm is by his side and if anything he moves it away from the ball. It’s a very poor on-field decision.

i mean we did it against Newport as well
