Blues Brother

The crossing and finishing drills that were seen during pre season were a joke…. It annoyed me at the time and still does…. Doing crossing and finishing, unopposed is a complete nonsense

This kinda sums it up

After 10 minutes we could see he’d fucked it… he should have realised it and fixed it there and then…. Not 60 minutes or half time…. Immediately. It was also an easy fix.

Don’t know why the manager picked him to do that role today. He doesn’t have the legs for it… if anything he should have been at least in the centre of the pitch… but realistically he is done.

He was left in midfield on his own for large parts of the game, while our best attacking threat (Cantwell) was busy covering our full back and the guy how can’t run anymore (Jack) was doing the same on the other side of the pitch. What ever happened to the days of midfielders actually just play in midfield…. Cifuentes is being hung out to dry by the managers tactics. I don’t see any other midfield in Europe wasting so much energy trying to cover the wings as ours do.

Potter and Billy Reid… fuck knows… but what I do know is Beale ain’t the guy

Just back from game… what the fuck was Beale doing today… surely after 10mins he could see he’d fucked it up…. Players not to blame this time… it’s all on Beale…. His time is up, 10 months of pish football…. 10 months of absolute shite… today we were so unbalanced, Cantwell doing doggy’s for 90 mins, he’s our most attacking player and should always be playing in the CAM on that wee cunt in their midfield. Jack doing doggy’s on the other side when it’s clear he can’t run. Raskin left in midfield on his own… matondo playing left wing and zero movement upfront… what a disaster…. No balance to our team at all …

Probably a wide 10 if you like

Think I’d prefer Sterling in the back 3, matondo left wing back…. Cantwell CAM with Roofe and Dessers through the middle…. Instead of Roofe playing wide

If we go 3 at the back, please don’t have Lundstram as one of the 3

I’m currently mid silver. Not sure on criteria but probably not enough

If you were looking to go to Limassol away match as part of a holiday…. What is the best way to get tickets for it?

Think it’ll be £38 per game so £117 includes booking fees

Wish we’d just go 3 at the back…. Our squad looks built to do this… so many variations available for is with the players we have…. Could play it very attacking or very defensive and everything in between…. Get it done Beale

Agreed, our midfield tends to be set up to cover our full backs, which leads me to wonder why we don’t play with 3 at the back more often… it would really suit us so much more. It would give us much more freedom in terms of playing an attacking style or a defensive style…

I find the signing of Lammers a strange one. Buying a striker and playing him as 1 of the 10s doesn’t make sense and he hasn’t looked good in that position…. Also bringing in Sima who we all thought would be played wide, but Beale thinks his best position is through the middle… so we now have Dessers, Lammers, Danilo, Roofe and Sima who all want to play upfront…. I just can’t see this working out as we only play with one out and out striker… think Beale is over complicating things .

Our full backs are really not good enough defensively… that much is clear, both have excellent attacking attributes so why is it so rare for us to play a 3 at the back system as our number 1 formation… surely that gets the best out of both full backs and can still use a 3 man midfield…. This must be better than playing Cifuentes in a wider midfield position

Expecting a tough game…. Especially looking at how narrow we look to have set up…. Really need Tav and Barisic very high up the park, otherwise we have no width… expecting Lundstram to play very deep. Certainly got my concerns with this one

Honest to god… who is buying these so called newspapers? Pathetic

Just watched the highlights… what a strike from Sima and what a perfect pass from Dessers… also that volley from Matondo was so unlucky… some effort that

Thought he was much better in the 2nd half when he was just asked to stick to the right mid position, 1st half I think he struggled because he was constantly having to move out to cover the wing.

Thought he had a dodgy 10 minute spell after his booking, unfortunately they scored in that time, but he seemed to regain his composure after that. The boy on the right looks a really good player to be fair.

Out of the 3 forwards I felt sima was at least running the channels and getting us up the pitch… unfortunately he didn’t do much with it, until the goal. Felt Dessers could have done more to help out our midfield who were struggling to connect any passes, like drop a bit deeper shield the ball keep possession and win some free kicks…

No, at least I don’t think so

Just back from the game… thought we did well to stay in the game at times… especially 1st half. Worked our socks off. Our formation didn’t really help us in the 1st half, with our wide CMs moving out to help our full backs constantly. Our only outball was Sima who was the only one making runs to give us options…. Was very disappointed in Dessers performance, needed much more from him. Cantwell and Sima were our best players 1st half. 2nd half we moved to a more 442 with Cantwell dropping off and looked better for it. Big shout out to Goldson tonight, thought he was excellent. All to play for but not going to be easy
