Bears 792 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 36 minutes ago, Ozblue said: I agree with you regarding how we can find a way to break up their 10 men behind the ball set-up because it's almost impossible to break it down the way we are set up at the moment. We don't have the midfielders that can hit that killer pass to split their defenders who patrol that area the width of the 18 yard box, so basically, the only way we can do it is with speed down the flanks, which would turn their defenders. The other problem we have is that we don't have a Dado Prso, Nikita Jelavic, Kris Boyd type player who is a 100% penalty box predator, whereas we have Morelos who is actually winning the ball all over the park, then trying to be in a position to be our main scorer. We certainly have come on leaps and bounds since Gerrard arrived, but it's easy to figure out our biggest problem is a lack of goals from our midfielders, because they just aren't prolific scorers; for example, Alfredo has 14 goals and Tavernier is next with 8 goals (mainly PK's) then Lafferty with 4 goals. Then we have EIGHT midfielders who have made double-digit appearances, but only scored 15 goals between them; and therein lies the problem. I'd be interested to see how Alfredo gets on playing behind an all-out striker when teams park the bus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a question I would love to see answered. I actually think he would run riot and score more than he does now. Could you imagine a Jelavic type striker with Alfredo playing off his shoulder? defenders wouldn't know who to track, or where they would go. simplythebestest, plumbGER, Bears and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

manx-bear 25 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I fancy us to go through because if spartak beat RW (in Moscow) and we get a positive result against Villarreal then, when we play RW they will already be out. And will be focusing on the league as they are 8th. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurrayWilson 3,393 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Rapid beat again at home today. Surely its time they did the decent thing and just gave us the entire ticket allocation for their game against us, seeing as they are pish and will be unlikely to sell them to their own lot.

Bad Robot 21,150 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Finished 2-1. Villareal never really looked a threat but got 2 quick goals in second half which killed. I don’t think we should over respect them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosscoRFC87 216 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Just seen they’ve to go to the Nou Camp on Sunday! That could go in our favour if they want to save themselves from embarrassment in that fixture - on the other hand they might be taking a free hit as they’re really not expected to take anything there on current form?
