Said the same on Simms and BTA. You would think it is such an easy part of their game to improve. Simms touch generally is absolutely woeful.Rudoni clear mom for me. Dovin close behind. Grimes showed what he will bring. Personally I’d have Simms and BTA in for extra training and just get them to control the ball. It’s a very basic skill at this level that neither have.

Rudoni had a really good second half in possession, but he and Torp were anonymous out of possession in the first half. We tried to play a block in the first half with a flat back 5 and Jamie Allen seemingly the sole midfielder times, trying to cover the middle as well as the wings. We were completely over run in midfield, and quite often Rudoni was just walking back.Rudoni clear mom for me. Dovin close behind. Grimes showed what he will bring.

Agreed.Didn't understand the Postecoglu style high line at all . Across our whole defence we have a lack of proper pace , even MvE looks to have lost half a yard recently .
Only real plusses were Dovin who kept it respectable . Simms didn't hide after his mistake for the first goal and looked a threat second half and Grimes cameo was a sign of things to come centrally .
Write it off and start again , hopefully without the suicidal high line
I agree to a certain extent but they’ve drawn 3 times away in the last monthIts pretty simple.
THAT WAS THE BEST TEAM I EVER SEEN US PLAY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP FULL STOP. no idividual brilliance like last year. Just Pace all over the pitch what a team. Take it on the chin these are light years ahead of the leicesters and fulhams that went up.
Leeds will destroy teams at will. Move on.

The stats show them to be a dominant team even when they fail to win. We'll be judged how we bounce back at QPR, which is slightly awkward and needs to be well managed with this bloody Ipswich game. Digging too much into last night is pointless, we are clearly way off Leeds.I agree to a certain extent but they’ve drawn 3 times away in the last month
We aren't the same team we were last season. This team has been picked up off the floor. We're finding new ways to win without important players, its worked well, but sadly it wasn't enough against Leeds.Also we’ve beaten PL teams recently that are better than Leeds. This idea that there’s no way to set up against these sides is nonsense. Oggy was saying after the match it seems like we were told to hold positions but that makes it hard to get close to people and mentally makes you sit off rather than challenge players. The high line and AAATB didn’t help either or whatever BTA was doing first half. I certainly hope Lampard and the players wouldn’t just be throwing their hands up and saying nothing could be done after that. Lots to learn and a chance on Saturday to try and do better.
Both bidwell and Latti do this odd thing where when a player is running at them they take some sort of power stance. But they are not close enough so the attacker just knocks the ball round them and they can’t cover.
odd defensive idea
Not sure why Lats gets special treatment when Thomas Kitching and Bidwell were all shit too tbh but seem to be above criticism. Missing the ball, playing it straight to them, losing their man, wild lunges out of position.
I think the idea we’d found some unstoppable defence was shown to be a nonsense. We’ll need better in the summer.

I just punished myself by watching the goals again. I knew they were woeful already but what the actual fuck even is that pass from Simms? The second one Lati proper runs in as if he's going to deal with it then just leaves it last second, i can see why Dovin was thrown off... absolutely awful. Best to get it out the way in a game you'll probably lose anyway i suppose.
The ball had already rolled into Dovin’s arms before bobbling back out again - it was a horrible mistake from Dovin, arguably the most egregious GK error of the season so far.What we don't know for the second is whether Dovin shouted for it.
If he did, then it's fully his fault. If he didn't and Lati just left it with no call then they have to share the blame.
The most egregious goalkeeper error this season is not having Dovin in goal all season and wasting time with the other 2 training cones.The ball had already rolled into Dovin’s arms before bobbling back out again - it was a horrible mistake from Dovin, arguably the most egregious GK error of the season so far.

The ball was literally in Dovin’s hands. The communication from both players was poor, but it needn’t have been fatal if Dovin had just held onto the ball like he’s supposed to.It was as much as Lati's blunder as Dovin. With respect that's clear to anyone with a brain.

They were very good but tactically we were all over the place and the players were just not playing at the level of which is expected of them last night ..also footballers failing to do basic things costing us goals it was an easy night for LeedsI agree to a certain extent but they’ve drawn 3 times away in the last month
Just watched it back - that’s not what happened. This is where Latibeaudiere stops his run. Dovin could and should have claimed the ball at this point but didn’t. He had a great game in the second half but this was a huge cock-up on his part.No it wasn't. Watch the highlights back. Literally at the moment Dovin was about to collect the ball Lati rushed in front of him. It was completely bizarre.
Rudoni clear mom for me. Dovin close behind. Grimes showed what he will bring. Personally I’d have Simms and BTA in for extra training and just get them to control the ball. It’s a very basic skill at this level that neither have.

The Simms assist looks worse every time I see it - that was ridiculous
One poster on twitter said it was his best performance for us , I feel like I'm watching a different player to most people sadly
I really want to see the player that tore both Wolves and Man Utd to pieces. He was so good in both those games.One poster on twitter said it was his best performance for us , I feel like I'm watching a different player to most people sadly
Think I'm just completely going to stop offering my opinion on his performances
