They pick you up and then drop you back down again, very frustrating.
Everything you come to expect from the game, a patchy performance where we mostly looked the better team and had a couple of 10 minute spells where we really took the game to them but other than that we were just not ruthless enough. To be fair we did try to play through them even in the closing stages where we usually get desperate with hopeful balls into the box. We moved the ball well but when the time called we just lacked the ability to up the tempo, lay the final pass or take the shot.
You were hoping and expecting that when we got the goal we would then go on and kill the game, instead we let the game pass by without going for the juggular and they got their goal the only way you would expect them to. After that I think they looked more likely, we just couldn't get it together.
It's frustrating as I think they are one of the poorer sides in the division, watching the game I was just thinking their are a very small amount of teams in the championship that despite a dissapointing performance we should see the game through and get the 3 points, they are one of them. A big throwaway for me.
The bench just had nothing on it that could change the game for us which was dissapointing, obviously the new players will step in and improve that situation but just one potential spark there could have helped. It's been mentioned previously that Zohore has gone off relatively early in consecutive games, granted he didn't do much in either game and missed a very good chance today I just would have liked to have seen maybe someone brought on to play alongside him, perhaps give him someone to link with him. It has been difficult to get service to him and truthfully see what he can bring to the team but that is two games he has gone off and we have lost the impetus. He at least has a presence and a body up there with him centrally perhaps can give the defenders some issues or give him some confidence to get in better positions.
