Lets be really honest here. Yesterdays game was terrible. There was not one thing about the game that you could take any comfort from. But since Jose has taken over we have had some games, maybe not the whole 90 mins but big parts of games where we have looked like a team again. The question is, was that just the new Manager bump that we got, or was is that going to be more of the norm than what was seen before.
Dele seemed to change his game after Jose Came back in, knuckled down, was working harder and doing the simple things right. Against Brighton and Soton he was back to his worst, losing the ball all over the pitch, look lackluster when he had it and trying a lot of flicks that never came off. Yesterday watching Dele got me so frustrated. Lazy passes, lazy movement. Without him or a fully functional Eriksen, and with Son suspended we just look uncomfortable in attack. And we need our attack because we cannot keep a clean sheet for anything, no matter what formation we play.
It was a hard game to watch. We looked bad all over. We also KEEP conceeding the first goal. A very big problem for us.
