BARRY WRITES... Did Umeda's balls-up for Tosu's equaliser remind anyone of de Gea's on Sunday? A low shot the keeper should deal with, but didn't. Fair play to him, he's a 21 year old lad (22 tomorrow - HBD!), who's not long made his professional debut. He'll be more annoyed than anyone, so chin up Umeda!
Saved! Oh...
You might say we were unlucky not to add a second, but the phrase "few and far between" best describes our chances. Far more worrying was the inability to either keep possession, or regain it. We were absent in midfield seemingly every time Tosu went forward, and when they did, there was also little in the way of a defensive line. It's bizarre, because we've played, albeit fitfully, very well at points this season. At least as well as you can and still lose your first 5 games.
It makes we think the boss is still experimenting, because teams don't usually jump from dominating matches against half decent teams, to being on the backfoot for most of others against worse opposition. Yes, we did go close once or twice, but Tosu were far more dangerous, and will see this as two points dropped. Keep in mind they hadn't even scored this season before today. #grrr
Not too much else to say about this one, other than it wasn't even nearly good enough. This was us against Cerezo Osaka, while we can play like we did against Gamba Osaka. There may be no relegation, but time is starting to run out though for Cklamovski to find something that works.
We're bottom of the table with no wins after 6. To say this can't go on is stating the bleeding obvious, so starting on Sunday we turn the corner. Looking on the bright side, we've not scored the least in J1, neither have we conceded the most.
Come on S-Pulse, for fuck's sake.
