Gave up good potential scoring opportunities trying to cheat.

Let’s face it he’s becoming the player that we all wished for.
Bit strong.
Quote from: OCD on January 24, 2021, 07:04:28 PMHe may need to work on his timing a little. He's on the shoulder so much that he seems to be borderline offside all the time.Might have got away with it a bit more in the championship perhaps with no VAR. Really shouldn't have been caught offside for the second one yesterday, looking across the line. Same v West Brom. But he is getting in the right positions anyway, something we didn't have at all last season.

Quote from: PaulWinch again on January 24, 2021, 09:09:58 PMBit strong.Possibly. I love every part of his game other than that.....needs to stay on his feet.
His body language after something doesn't come off is like a grumpy schoolkid, either pissed off at those around him or lacking confidence in himself.

But also I think the others, especially Grealish need to release the ball that little bit quicker. Ollie sees they have the ball, sees the gap and goes past the defender before the defender has time to adjust his body position to chase him. Unfortunately if the ball isn't released until a second or two later, he finds that he is offside. If he waits until he sees the ball is being released then the defender also has time to adjust himself and make the tackle.

Perhaps it's time to put Davis up front (to draw the 2 Burnley CB) and play Watkins in a wide role? - just a thought. Won't happen!

Why on earth would we want Davis starting?!
