Things we will say every week (16 replies)
Klarer looks a shadow of last year playing on the left side of defence.
Ben Davies was better than some on here realised and as a partnership Davies/Klarer is better than Klarer/Neumann.
We have no backup for Iwata if he's tired or injured.
We are too small/weak.
Paik looks to play backward too often.
Our set pieces are garbage (both attacking and defending).
It's great having 55-60% but there's not enough actual shots/chances.
I think the last two games have been a reality check, we haven't tried to sign a team for promotion. We signed a team to finish mid table. This is why many were frustrated on deadline day when this realisation came and was not aligned to the expectation of investing more based on our increased revenues. This team will still probably win most home games but will lose the majority away. Not worried about relegation, but I think the over excitement of potential double promotions should be well and truly over now.
