James Tavernier was not at fault for the first goal. He was right in front of HIS Man. However, the man who scored was Nikos man. Niko just stops and his marker slips free into the back post and scores. The second goal, the Corinthians man has the ball in the centre circle and he walks past Niko unchallenged.

Niko doesn’t do anything to stop him. This leaves our defence totally on the back foot and Cordoso has no option but to rush the ball with the hope he will get something on it. But these Brazilians are far too good on the ball and play it in behind. Niko at fault for both goals and when they do their video analysis they will all know this. He’s such a liability.

20k a week and we get nothing in return. I would like to also stress how bad Herrera was. He was second to EVERY ball. The defender got the better of him every time. When Niko and Herrera were replaced it was a different game. We finally had movement up front and in midfield in an attacking and defensive sense. Herrrea and Niko do nothing off the ball. Halliday came on and was brilliant as was Goss and Morelos. Niko and Herrera need to leave. Cummings, Devante Cole, Naismith, or the West Brom man Tyler Robers would all be welcome additions to the very lean in numbers strike force. I reckon we will end up with 2 new strikers if Herrera goes. Niko keeps taking 20k a week. It’s a joke. Halliday and Forrester offer more than him and you will be lucky if they make 8/ 9k a week. No need for Niko anymore. Out of murphy, Windass, Candeias, Holt, Barjonas, Goss, Jack and Dalcio he’s the last midfielder I would pick.

Thoughts?

Tav was not at fault. what, can he not see you speak now like? If he had a look he would have seen there was a guy behind him, he could then have spoke to one of the centre halfs to pick up his man. its not rocket science. He was then at fault for the 2nd goal. step up and they are both offside! i'm not having a go at Tav here but you can't seriously defend him for those goals!

Both goals were defensive mistakes, where were the center halves the striker is right in the middle of the penalty box and not a CH in sight and by the way tav was marking no one and for the second goal he was ten yards behind the rest of the defense playing the attackers on so how you can pick on niko for blame I do not know.

Well Nico leaves at end of season Jmk14. Actually disagree that was at fault with first goal and that Tav or the central defenders were. Fod should have saved the second goal, very slow to get down and his positioning was not good. Much to be pleased with though.
