chris182 6,531 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 COullibally to come back and (hopefully) an appearance by Rossiter. Should improve the midfield come the end of this month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky. 7,111 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 With two sitting midfielders, we found it hard to break through whenever we got the ball. I’m always a fan of having two holding players allowing for one to have way more freedom. The players we have don’t allow for that and I think we missed Coulibaly.

For me we couldn't press the game cause the legs were gone,the signs have been there the last few games.imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This - ejaria cost us I thought we were poor but looking at their chances again none were really clear cut opportunities to score other than header in first half Some good strikes but from range or improbable angles morelos and tavenier should've done better with their two.

Junior Soprano 22,428 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Far too light in midfield. Ejania and Kent were out their depth. If fact the cunt stopped running for their goal HG5 and Juniorsparkie 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

16BlueSherbert90 19,654 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I knew Lafferty and Morelos would be paired up, had hoped they would have played well together for this and spur each other on. Didn't happen. Agree on midfield. Ejaria was not on his game today at all. More so second half, I felt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryMc 2,409 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Really need to get Coulibaly fit. He sets the tone with his pressing. Always say we should go with 5 in the middle in an OF. Have someone constantly marking/pressing Brown and they'll then start punting the ball long. Don't get why managers don't see this. 35 Yard Dangerman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TMB 14,167 Posted September 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2018 That mob have outfought and outmuscled our midfield for years. Rogic, Brown, and Ntcham are just a better three than we have. I'm sure Coulibaly will help our cause but we need to win the battle for the centre of the pitch if we've to have any hope against them. terry739, The No.9, HG5 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

reallyruff 622 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Hard to fathom when you consider how SG and Gary Mac made their living. You'd have to wonder what they see that we don't in terms of what's lacking in personel and setup. I hoped that they could have schooled our midfield in ways of overcoming whatever deficiencies they may encounter, not every teammate they had was a world beater after all. Certainly our present players aren't facing any world beaters. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
