It was quite surprising he got the nod.. defo a KM mistake that. But I'm sure even he didn't expect it to be that bad a move. |  |

Not sure its a mistake. Taylor would not have fared better physically against this. And thats where we are falling down. |  | | |

Too much panicking and lumping it forward resulting in Huddersfield recycling the ball.
Need more calmness and possession. Fair play to Darren Moore he’s set their game plan up perfectly | | | |

Think the problem was mckenna didn't know what they were going to do and they overloaded our right side. Evans just proved what we all knew unfortunately - good passer but not enough mobility. With 20/20 hindsight ball would have been a good shout to start but it would have looked like a very defensive choice. | |

Was surprised he was made captain. Thought the armband would go to Woolfy or Burgess. |  |

McKenna just explained that Taylor suffered cramp on Tuesday so to start today would have been a little risk. Evans has been playing in that position anyway so it made sense to continue with that and not risk Taylor. |  |

I actually didn't know that

I thought Evans was 100% the right call pre-match tbh based on the fact we needed to allow Luongo to play his normal game.
But it seems obvious now we need someone in that deeper role who consistently takes the ball off the goalkeeper in tight areas and holds the ball whilst moving through the pitch.
Unlike Evans who just doesn't do that. It wasn't until Luongo took the Morsy role that things clicked for us. | | | |

I would have thought we would have played Taylor, at least he has something about him. |  |

Totally agree with this. Was happy with Evans in the side, but we moved up a gear when Massimo dropped in. He ran the game for the last 20 mins. | | | |

This is spot on. When Hladky had the ball, Evans was offering himself but he did not want it really. His instinct was to give it straight back, he was far too square on and not receiving the ball on the half turn like Morsy. Evans is a decent squad player now, an option from the bench to see out a game. Harness actually looked far more useful in the centre tbh. |  |

I think we missed Broady today more than Morsy. When games have been tight Broady has that ability to keep finding space. That draws in opposition players towards him, often 2 or 3 players, which frees up space for the other players. A Broady in that team today I think would help the midfield by giving them more options.
Hutchinson had a good gane but Broady at the moment has that natural ability to find space.
As I've said on another post I can see KM trying Broady & Hutch in a game soon and possibly giving Chaplin a rest |  | | |

with neither of them playing much, whoever started would have struggled (especially evans being out for so long then playing the full 90 on tuesday).
wouldn't write anyone off for a below par performance against tough opposition | |

I totally agree with that too. Luongo can do that role and it's one of the most critical positions for how we play. Both he and Morsy have the control, awareness, bravery, calmness, low centre of balance and upper body strength to take the ball there and hold or turn or distribute and draw the opposition midfielders in. Harness would be too risky there for me, and Ball probably not creative enough.
Luongo in the Morsy role with either Taylor or Harness in the Luongo role would have been my choice, either that or slightly different game-plan for when Morsy is missing, with two deeper midfielders to take the ball, a slightly deeper ten and narrower wide forwards. With the starting players today, when the keeper's got the ball:
-------------------Hladky
-----Wolf-------------------------Burg
Clarke ---Evans-------Luongo
------------------Chaplin-------------Davis
------Burns------------------Hutch
-------------------Hirst [Post edited 1 Oct 2023 8:47]

I don't know why this has got so many downarrows, seems a reasonable opinion to me.
I thought Evans was average before yesterday and yesterday did nothing to change that view. And we certainly missed Morsy. |  |

He’s a very decent passer of the ball, but just not dynamic enough for the way we play. Both Morsy and Luongo, can do everything- win the ball, pick it up from the defenders, and drive forward in the opposition half.
Obviously McKenna was very keen on Taylor given two attempts to sign him, be interesting to see if he can play that role too. | | | |

Felt Evans was worse than he's ever been for town yesterday. Slow. Couldn't pass. Went long and failed at that too. He was imo actually useless yesterday | |

I was surprised that McK went for Evans. Just think he's too sluggish and I would have thought Taylor would bring that bit more energy to the midfield. And also Taylor is more match-ready than Evans and has the platform of being the match-winner from last Tuesday. Just thought it a bit odd. Maybe Taylor isn't an identical fit for Morsy, but I'm not sure Evans is, too.
I thought it would be an ideal opportunity to bring in Taylor. In a next cab on the rank sort of way... but who knows .... its not all on Evans.... I think we were a little under-par all over the field... and Huddersfield were no mugs. And we could still have won it with a bit of luck. | | | |

mckenna explained this in his presser, taylor wasn't fully fit, so evans got the nod. either player would've been a risk playing 2 games close together after a while off.
wouldnn't write evans off yet, but i'd say he's 4th choice at the moment if all are fully fit. he'll still have a role to play especially seeing games out. | |
