Bristol loyal 6,248 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 We sit back and invite pressure. I’ve said so many times defending a one goal lead is madness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRAO 127 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 When you're down goals, teams have nothing to lose and play harder , plus most of the goals we've conceded recently have been absolute bullshite deflections or completely offside.

GA1972 9,555 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Inviting pressure far too much and horrendous at defending set pieces Think the last good goal someone actually scored against us was the boy at Porto sticking it top bin from outside the box since then we’ve conceded 6 goals that I can think of (2 Aberdeen, 2 Feyenoord, Scum and YB) and every one of them have been comical defending apart from the blatant offside Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKnight87 17,282 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 We just seem to lose our composure. We play some good stuff like first half. tonight. But then we get sloppy and end up inviting on more pressure. We struggled to hold onto the ball 2nd half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueThunder 8,453 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I believe we are sucking celtic into a false belief that they are the greatest team n the world. All part of the plan. And they are scared, incidentally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there are many factors and some will laugh at the suggestion, but luck doesn't help us very often! I think most of the goals we concede just come down to poor defending at times. However the amount of horrible, jammy goals we concede is crazy! I think they had one header that McGregor saved easily. Other than that I don't think they threatened much.

the brown brogue 1,909 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I don't know if it's in the players subconscious now, but against Aberdeen you knew we weren't winning that game when it went 2 all, against the tarriers you just knew they were going to score with their only chance and tonight you just knew we were going to give something away the deeper and deeper we dropped. Once our effort and intensity levels drop we really struggle to raise them again and we lack a real character to drag the team through tricky spells, much like Gerrard himself did many times. I think a lot of our squad are running on empty though, but they need to dig deep, put in a few massive performances over the next couple of weeks and hopefully recharge the batteries for a real title challenge after the winter break Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nameless Ghoul 6,054 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Saw the goal coming at about 15 mins to go with way we were sitting back and panicking at the back. We never do things the easy way that's for sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rlm 408 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Look at last couple of games Aberdeen/celtic....not seizing the opportunities even though we are playing really well. If we can nail that then nothing will hold us back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like we are in total control then give away a sloppy pass under no pressure whatsoever and invite the opposition on to us when they aren't even in the game. This happens too often in games that we are/should be strolling. It is so frustrating but I believe it is coming and we are slowly getting closer to being a team that can dominate the opposition and take even half of the multiple chances we create every single game, regardless of who we are playing.

If we can nail that then nothing will hold us back. We should have won our last 3 games at a canter. Yes, we didn't but I like the way we are getting in about teams and the number of quality chances we are creating in every single game. I'd be far more worried if we were just playing turgid, pish football every week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc holliday 1,653 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Naivety and inexperience to a certain extent. On one notable occasion near the end of the game we should have ran the ball into the far corner but gave it away as quickly as we got it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebell82 243 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 It does seem our style is about being high tempo and pressing teams high up the pitch which is very hard to do for 90 mins. We need to be more adaptable in our style sometimes, it feels like we've only got one way and formation of playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
