Our Defence

[Rodley]

Absolutely sensational. Tactically aware, hugely committed and almost impossible to breach. And the midfield and strikers put in an unbelievable shift as well.

 

[BrinsworthBlade]

We are not the 2nd best defence in the league for nothing

 

[ormester]

We didn't look like conceding

 

[Original United]

How long before JOC called up for England?

And Basham rocking a bandage like he’s straight out of an Los Angeles street gang!

I guess he’d be in the bloods.

Thought we were a bit lucky that nobody seemed to get on the end of the few very good crosses Palace put in.

Reminded me of Noddy.

opened up 2nd half and could have bagged a couple

Most other teams design tactics when they have the ball.

It’s as though Wilder/ Knill put as much importance in our performance without the ball as it is with the ball.
Palace generally dominated but never looked like scoring.

 

[Brian Deane]

Limited Palarse to a couple of half chances. Benteke should of scored in the first half and tgey also missed a header in tge second half but I dont think the palace player saw it till late. UTB

 

[blade too long]

Has a nice. Look to it
Left Europe last night blades going back next season

Three very good chances second half.
Moose should of buried it. Norwoods free kick albeit a decent save. Stevens ? shot on the turn and he also had a good chance when he rashly rushed a shot in the box. So mebbe four.
Not being critical or knocking the lads at all. UTB

Yep, needs addressing in the summer. Great defence & midfield, not turning the good play into goals.

We looked a different team with Lunny and Moose on for Billy and Berge

I was surfing around a bit yesterday and saw on a Liverpool forum a new thread on us. Total respect from them to us and especially CW. They also think that JOC should partner Gomez in defence for England. Hard to argue with that when you look at the other candidates

Well we got another striker on loan be interesting to see if Richairo Živković plays with Mousset.

I doubt we'll ever see them play together. Mousset needs guidance and although I know nothing about him I doubt he's gonna receive any playing with a kid from the Chinese league.

Joking we had two or three excellent chances second half two of them fell to edna I believe

Ehan will have brain damage by 30, poor cunt can't stop heading things.

This defence is why we are where we are in the league, without question. We do create chances but no way is our attacking threat the reason we are fifth at the moment.

Leicester, Man City, Chelsea occupy 3 of the top 4 spots because they’re attacking is very good.

Liverpool are Champions because they defend like us but their attack is unreal.

If our defence was poor we’d be in a relegation battle because we’ve not quite hit top standards going forward.

I’ve said since we opened contract negotiations with Lunny that the only players we absolutely can’t lose is the back 5 and Fleck and I stick by that.

Appreciate I’ll get berated with this post for sounding negative, but it’s my opinion.

We ate so hard to score against
