Still out of position and not comfortable. But we survive another day and it’s not a reflection on the players

Passing to Veliz rather than son was criminal form him
Gazza Dazzla
Chris Perry
Complete lack of game awareness, surely he could see Veliz couldn’t stand up let alone run?

He looked
He looked both sides too and chose the broken kid

I really really hope that is the last time we see the Skipp/Hojberg combo
No Sarr, Bissouma and Bentancur still not match fit, unfortunately I think we will see it a few more times.
It is the first time in a long time where the team has a system, and as a result that system sometimes (painfully) makes it obvious if a player fits, while that isn't great personally for PEH, Skipp, Dier, hopefully it helps our recruitment (clarity re what we are looking for)

The commentators reckoned Veliz injured himself when Gil hit the bar but I’m convinced it was when Hojbjerg played that poor pass which Veliz had to stretch for.
It was definitely when Gil hit the bar.
Gazza Dazzla
Chris Perry
Yea he’d already gone down once before the Hojberg break.
Jurgen the German
Tommy Harmer
Ah fair enough. Probably exacerbated it by stretching for the ball though.
No, he was fudged from the first bit, he just kept forcing himself to play on
May have fudged himself more but it was bad from the start

Looks like he's off to Juve then - Allegri has been speaking about him by name
Interesting, no way I see him out without an incoming?

Gallagher then? Lots of noises around him

Hopefully Vermeeren. If we get him in this window (as opposed to the summer) he can become HG too
Finney Is Back
Luka Modric
I might be in the minority here but I thought we improved when Hojbjerg came on against Bournemouth. We were really struggling to get out of our half and retain any possession before he came on but I thought our play was much more calm with him on the pitch.
I get that he’s not a long term option for the way we want to play under Postecoglou but he has been quite important for us as an option off the bench this season and if we are selling him then we need a decent replacement who can hit the ground running.

Timing of when he came on made a difference
They had made their changes and gave up their huge tactical win on our right
Pierre was fine but that pass to Veliz was dumb
He was also the guy running down the byline for the cross to Gil which was great play
I agree that whoever comes in has to be able to hit the ground running. But I’ll also add I don’t see anyone buying him in January because his fee will be too high
Finney Is Back
Luka Modric
i think it makes sense for us to keep him till the end of the season anyway. He’s clearly not a bad apple and has had to play quite a lot of minutes. i think we’d still get £15m or so for him his summer and having him here until then IMO is worth more than the £5m or so more that we might get for him now.
The ball to Veliz was the right ball to play if Veliz wasn’t injured. The fact that Veliz had started to make a run to receive the ball probably influenced Hojbjerg into making the pass.
I didn’t read the match thread on here but did anyone one here mention the decision that Postecoglou took to leave us with no more subs to make with there still being a fair portion of the game left?
