Worst performance of the season first half, just when you think you can see the quality of the likes of Doyle and Gomes against better opposition, big strong teams like Bournemouth simply blow them away. It was draining and almost disturbing to see just how good they looked against us, and ironically, it was simply the physique and fight of Traore and Tawanda that changed the game back in our favour. Sarabia is surely finished as he cannot handle premier League physicality.
Not sure what O'Neil is thinking in playing Lemina so deeply, that clearly doesn't work nor does the passing out from the back.
Sa made several superb saves, and Doherty played well when he came on.
The disallowed goal was literally the worst decision I have ever seen, and that is saying something, and I would like to see the offside goal again. Very tight.
All in all, very poor night, very frustrating 1st half performance, dreadful level of officiating and VAR is undoubtedly killing the game. I can't wait for the season to finish to be honest, and it seems a gate of 25,000 suggests that others feel the same. The North Bank looked 15% empty from the South Bank. May that come as a strong reminder to the clubs hierarchy just how deep the underlying feeling of discontent with their management of the season actually is. ST pricing may be a final nail in the coffin!
You feel like a prisoner, hate VAR, hate the way the game is going, but love WWFC.
