Romey 1878 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) I'm losing my mind watching this. Does anyone still think we don't need pace? Fuck me, we're so slow it's unvelievable. We have two strikers, hallelujah. Well it would be a cause for celebration if either one of them got into the box. We're playing two, yes two, defensive midfielders even though we've had all the fucking ball. Meanwhile the midfielder who would be ideal to have in one of those spots (like last week), i.e. A box to box midfielder, is playing right fucking wing-back. Jesus fucking wept.

Matt Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Davy the star so far; like a more agile Osman. Keane, who I've not commented so far, has looked solid Sandro.... not impressed. At all. Rooney..... We need a superstar striker because we're great at dictating play, but we are seriouly lacking up front Edited August 3, 2017 by Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 The keeper is the weak link yet we've had no shots in target. Need to fire off a few skidders from distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'd like to see jags or Keane drive a bit more from CB and commit their extra midfielder. Hopefully a few of them change their boots. Test the keeper, he flapped at everything in the first leg and wasn't convincing when handling Davies cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Davies next player on the pitch. Klaassen looks a very tidy player but not helped by Sandro being so clumsy. For those who don't see any bad in Gana, that fk on the right hand side was very poor. Gets the wrong side of his man. A smarter player would have read it better, tbh most professionals should. Likewise the pass straight to their man who was in front of him. Really lacks the vision of a true footballer. Keane should be subbed. Performance has been very poor, and his touch makes Lukaku look like Bergkamp. Let him know it's not good enough and players like Holgate are there to take your spot if you don't play well. Think Sandro could do with the same treatment although maybe just needs to swap his boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 The reason we never look like scoring is that we are playing without a centre forward. When Rooney goes wide or drops back, which is often, there is no one in the middle. Davies is our best player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghoat Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 The pitch is slick. They have slipped a few times, but Sandro and Rooney have both gone down in dangerous areas when they stop and their feet slide out from under them. Klaassen looks deft on the ball, but is basically missing - just not getting enough touches. We are controlling the ball and game, but aren't generating chances: - Bad Pitch/footing in crucial areas - A team with the bus parked - A front three that not only haven't played together much, but never together in this formation. No one is really playing poor, no one is really standing out - but Davies. The lad is just a footballer, wherever you put him on the pitch.... I can see Lookman/Mirallis and DCL coming in to bring some fresh legs and pace, but I'd expect Barry to come in around the 80th min, especially if there is still no score.

Peter H Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Could Gylfi replace Baines in this setup? Would be better equiped to open up their defence with well placed through balls?

I said nothing about getting in behind. They need to play narrower? If we played any narrower everyone would be sitting in the centre circle. We have no width to speak of.

Sev Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 - A front three that not only haven't played together much, but never together in this formation. Yes. And even though they're professionals and have tried a bit of it all, we shall try to be patient. But there's a season beginning soon and there won't be many teams like Ruzomberok that we don't know much about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Gueye and Schneiderlin should be either/or, not both. They seem to pull down each other's contributions, somehow. Davies and Sandro are live wires. Bring on DCL because we need a target. Hate to say it, but Rooney does not fit in well. We'd do better without him on the field.

badaids Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 We literally just stood still and watched them pass it all around our penalty area. Not one lifted a finger - it was like that actually been told to just stand still. Lucky to get away with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
