Replying to @dbutleranalysis
Mateus Mane and the art of having patience

The data and eye test just don't match right now. We concede few chances, but it feels like it's down to poor oppo execution rather than our structure. The goals we score aren't the product of a coherent attacking unit. The numbers will say we're a good side, I'm unconvinced.
Bueno and Trippier drifting inside during build up now. Element of trust in those central players to play under pressure as less space, but it drags markers away from the touchline and leaves 1v1s for the wingers. Side note - Watford are appalling. Like seriously bad.
This was the chance to move Mane into one of the 8s, instead we inexplicably persist with Munetsi.

How we line-up to face @WatfordFC 📋
Watch any part of this game back and you’ll see how just how slowly we build out of this shape too. No intent to shift Pompey from side to side, very few vertical passes, Krejci WALKS the ball to halfway at one point. Red flags everywhere.
Amazed that Mane was the one winger to be hooked early too. Came out for the second half looking a lot more threatening, finding third man runs from deep, dangerous crosses, then subbed…
I’ll continue to bemoan the quality of goals we’re conceding, but if we’re not interested in killing teams off while we’re in the ascendancy then the door’s always open.
Think Neave had a good 45 there. Not hiding in possession (unlike some), dropping deep to link the play with some nice little flicks. Outside of him, an utter mess.

Peixoto really needs to figure out what he wants us to do in the final third. This is what will keep us towards the top of the league and there’s enough talent there to take advantage of. Games like tonight we should be scoring 3-4.
The offsides are frustrating but Bolton have to get that step right every single time, we only need to get our timings right once. The chance will come.
Funny reading the mixed replies to this. To expand: we’ve been so bereft of a natural 1v1 winger that I completely understand why some would be encouraged by those 40 mins. I really didn’t like a lot of the decisions on the ball though, especially considering the game state.
