To be fair to him it’s not that we always can’t defend a 1-0 it’s also that our players seem acutely incapable of scoring a second when we’re on top. We had two guilt edge chances to put the game to bed before they equalised.

GON clearly has our boys ready to play; all 5 goals in first half of play. Seems like either we aren’t a fit enough team or GON needs to adjust better in 2nd half or both I guess. I don’t know enough about GON’s philosophy on fitness. I mean come on we played even with or better than Villa for 60 mins. We aren’t near a top 4 team but proved we have talent to challenge.
Semedo and RAN are too experienced to take on those early cards. Makes it hard to play aggressive as a team when your FBs on yellows 16 mins into match in an away Darby. Both fouls to get yellows were stupid. The Gomes and Lamina too. We lost our bite in second half. GON will figure out a way to make our team keep that going.

This situation feels all too similar to Lage for my liking. Good spells getting overshadowed by fitness issues and tactical breakdowns. I’m sympathetic to the fact that the fixtures have been difficult, but losing three games in the exact same way is unacceptable.

We’ve sold out best two players and not replaced the positions. Transfers are out of his control, not his fault.
