OH Leuven Thread 2021/22

[Phugalu]

It's a mental thing. Instead of pushing on, they hold back, and than you get goals against. Same story every time with OHL. They need to learn to NOT to turn that switch once they're 2-0 ahead. Lack of belief in themselves...

Red card for Anderlecht after their player elbowed Dewaest!

Making life hard for themselves game should have been wrapped up by now with the counters they've had.

[moore_94]

2-2. It was coming.

[KlaaZ]

Unnecessary...

[KlaaZ]

My heart!

[moore_94]

RED CARD AND PENALTY!

[KlaaZ]

Missed. Gutting.

[moore_94]

Oh Kaba... it was so obvious where he was putting that

[davieG]

How to chuck away 2 points.

[Phugalu]

*Sigh*

 

[sacreblueits442]

....once he had opened up his body you would think he would have gone to the keepers right!!!

I think it was a counter bluff and he got caught in two minds....good game though.

[moore_94]

Full Time 2-2

 

Started the game really well but just seemed like as soon as it was 2-0 they shut up shop and decided to defend the rest of the game

 

Should've come out a bit more when they went down to 10 men and 2-1 but the way they played they were just asking for Anderlecht to equalize

 

Certainly had chances on the counter to get goals, and just a poor penalty from Kaba in the end.

 

Definitely thrown away 2 points tonight

 

Up 1 place to 14th

What a kick in the balls. Surprised they let Kaba take the pen, he looked knackered all second half.

I don't know, even from his run up it just seemed really obvious that he was going to put it to the keepers left, just made it too easy for the keeper

[Phugalu]

This time I blame the draw on Brys. It's up to him to wake his team up. Throw a damn Simeone tantrum for all I care, but get them focused. Why Kaba had to take that penalty is a mistery... that guy's legs were made of jelly in the end. There were better options on the field. I also blame Brys for that. Everyone saw that this was not his to take. 

Anderlecht robbed us of a made goal sadly. But that is no excuse to miss a penalty.

....it was just too obvious on his approach, but the switch at the last minute to the opposite side is what the very creative takers do. Either way it was a poor execution.

It happens. Kaba is number one on the list of penalty takers, so it was his choice whether he would step up or not. Nobody's faultless. 

[KlaaZ]

That said, it's overly harsh. If you'd offered us a point away at Anderlecht in advance, everyone would have been very happy with it. Especially considering they're on a six (seven if you count the cup game) game unbeaten run.

Good to see OHL turning it around slowly but going in the right direction. 

[sacreblueits442]

...shame about the finish at the end but either Anderlecht is a poor team or we have improved a great deal!!!

  Good to see we move the ball forward through the middle of the field as opposed to playing a runner in from the half way line hoping he has the pace and the ball is perfectly weighted to get him in. The extra support is making the possibility of goals more likely and it is not so hit and miss.

  In the last two games we haven't looked second best compared to the earlier games we had played.

We suffered from the fact that most of our signings came in so late, but now it looks like we're finally reaching our full potential.

 

We have 2 very important home games coming up (Friday against KV Oostende and RFC Seraing after the international break). If we win both of them we can start looking up and maybe still aim for a top 10 finish.

I’m in refuge from our frankly dispiriting football. Are Leuven a good watch these days?
