Overall Benrahma attempted a lot of shots, but, as too often this season, on the whole they really weren't particularly threatening. On the plus side, at least we came back from a goal down again, but it really does feel like two points we could ill afford to drop today. On another day we could easily have scored another goal or two, it's certainly far from the worst we've played all season, but again some shoddy defending means one goal wasn't enough. *Zouma put a very good chance with a header wide. *Aguerd poked a ball just wide instead of on target. *Benrahma danced his way to and along the byline, but couldn't keep his cross out of Martinez's reach. *Paqueta played a lovely ball along the edge of the 6 yard box but no-one attacked it. *Bowen drove forward really well, but his pull back was just behind Fornals who couldn't then get a shot on target. ![]() *Benrahma had a great chance to play Bowen in as he broke the offside trap high up the pitch, but found the defender. It wasn't a bad performance overall, but things just weren't clicking. ![]() It was a day where we created chances, although maybe not fantastic chances. The issue is that our tactics seem to be give Bowen or Benrahma the ball & they run the length of the pitch & try & score or get a cross in. This wasn't a six pointer however and I would have gambled for all three by taking off Soucek and adding Scamacca into the forward line and play two up front with twenty to go. I think Moyes was too careful again and didn't use our subs to change the game as afraid of losing the point. My criticism is that we needed three points here and they were there for the taking in my view. My man of the match was Emmerson, whilst I was pleased that Bowen looked a little more like the player we had last season. It may not have been his best game but Rice's attitude is certainly not someone seeing out the season, he was a man possessed at times and it nearly spilled over once or twice. My positives were that the team seemed to be really up for it and battled like a side who recognise the situation they are in. In my view I think we played pretty well and had it not been for some poor decision making and finishing inside the box we could easily have been writing about a 3-1 win. ![]()
