Superb from Muric again

O'Shea needs to get a grip. He's getting bullied here.

Almost bullied there by the midget Hamer

Still terrified of shooting.

One touch, bang. That’s what Foster was doing 1st half of the season - so clumsy since his return.

Does Odobert bet on himself pre-game on how many times he can lose possession?

I was just thinking how he has lost his way, a bit. Loads of talent.

He gave up possession earlier and just let his man attack.

Sheffield defence is crap but we are not taking advantage of that fact

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 3:24 pm

Odobert has been pure dog shite the last 10 games or so, needs a break on the bench. Also still don’t see how some think O’Shea is our best defender. He’d be lucky to start in the championship let alone the premier league.

tally · Post by **tally** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 3:24 pm

wrong option again choosing Brun then

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 3:24 pm

Berge held onto it too long. Just needed to play it into BL feet.

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 3:25 pm

We are so lucky to have Sander Berge. He’s a class above every single player on the pitch today.

Shouldn't have dropped Ekdal after Ekdal & Esteve looked like our best partnership of the season against Brighton. Made their forwards look toothless.

There's faster front lines than today in the league, definitely wouldn't have been the worst call. But I do think O'Shea's improved a lot.

Safron · Post by **Safron** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 3:27 pm

Can't see for the life in me what odobert brings to the team, total waste of a player who can play the position better

He has and I understand what VK is trying to do with a high line and defenders with recovery pace but I just think Ekdal's reading of the game and positioning is much better.

I don't dislike O'Shea btw, just feel that Ekdal had done enough to keep his place.

I'm about as big an Ekdal fan as there is on here so I'm trying to check my own bias there. Think he seems a much more seasoned head than he is given his age, possibly makes people think he's older than he is so has capped out his potential. If he was a shade quicker I don't think there'd be any argument against him

We need his tenacity and ability to rat around.

This has been a key problem all season.

Amdouni started OK but got worse and worse cos he’s a young lad getting flogged to death with low confidence. Same for Trafford, and now the same for Odobert.

They all needed managing so much better in terms of minutes and bringing in and out.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 3:36 pm

Nothing happening when we have the ball. Lots of danger when they just put the ball in the box!

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 3:36 pm

Odobert either gives the ball away or doesn’t try in a 50/50 when the ball to him or his touch isn’t perfect. Might need a dramatic first half substitution at this point.

Story of the season.
Tresor at first.
Amdouni.
Trafford.
Now Odobert off the boil.

Zaroury written off after 1 bad game and 1 dumb red, Benson written off after what, 80 mins match time? Really feel like it ought to be 3 strikes for a player, not 10 for some, 0.5 for some.

Funny to see the slagging off of Odobert when Foster has been just as bad.

Move Wilson wide, bring on Tresor central
