Taking Amps and Aaronson off seemed to say, I'll cut my losses and rest/save them. Ethan was still up and down like an energizer bunny, Aaronson didn't look tired either.
I thought Amps was our best player.
Also, would be unfair to be critical of how our new signings performed when the heart of our team has been ripped apart.
Ampadu & Rodon assumingly were injured, Firpo did well, same with Aaronson, all four have endured the dreaded international games.
We looked a mess in the second-half, it got worse as the game drew closer to the final whistle, we wouldn't have scored if we has played all night.

Disagree. Joseph was much closer to the goal and had a better view of the goal than I did.
The young man should have done much better, it was an awful effort under no pressure. Allan Clarke & Jimmy Greaves would have rounded the keeper with ease.
I wouldn’t be too hard on the kid Joseph as he does plenty of things right but that is a bad miss.
The keeper commits and makes it easier but he’s already made up his mind.
I declare my love for Saint Daniel and I can shoehorn him in to any conversation.
It looks easy but it’s missed more often than it’s scored. Much harder chance than the one he put away v Hull plus he’s losing balance. Don’t blame him for the miss

you're so biased sometimes it's unbelievable
it's a one on one with zero pressure, a good striker should score those every single time
you realise when you're running in a straight line, with zero pressure, you can control your own balance right?
who do you blame for the miss? the grass? the ball?

He’ll put you on ignore if you call out his level of Bias. Now if that had been Bamford or Piroe they would have got plenty of criticism.
Personally, I think Joseph was looking to round the keeper to the keepers right. But Trafford timed his run out perfectly and narrowed the space , his shot was rather panicked in the end and he was off balance because for me that was not his intended finish. He will learn from that.
Good young quality keeper Trafford, ironically he had a lot of stick off their fans last season.
Its not really about defending Joseph. He knows he should score and he’ll be reliving that over & over for the next few days. Give that to Haaland, Kane, Watkins and they will score virtually 100% of the time.
His body position when he strikes the ball is definitely not helping but he’s not really to blame for the loss.

17 shots, only four on target.
Missing decent chances effects the result. Put our chances away & we win the match.

Isn't that Farkes job to work it out Ian. Delivering decent set pieces might be a good start mind.
It's just made to sound so simple to negate
It isn't.
If it wasn't so effective it wouldn't be employed so often.

We need better dead ball delivery than we get from our corner and FK takers… I’d try Firpo myself or Solomon. Not saying they’d be better but Gruev et al ain’t working enough
