You'd think so. Doesn't tell you if they are running forwards, back or having a fag break, pretty meaningless imo. I very much doubt our management team use these "stats".

I still believe we don't need 2 holding mids at home with most oppositions just camping behind the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
molesmole 1,066 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Jack has been anonymous imo so far this season. Sits far to deep, collecting the ball of the CBs to pass to Kamara who is also 20 yards from our goal. Rinse and repeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure_Quality 3,295 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Jackamara once again comfortable and composed. Sniffed out anything before it came towards the CH's. Scored 3 and conceded none while on the pitch, and we looked more open when Arfield came on. Another 3 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were so many times where there was 10-15 yards of space that they could have driven into and yet they didn’t do it. So frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely criminal that it ends up being Goldson driving into that space because Jack just will not do it when he gives him the ball Wish Helander would do the same rather than all those fucking hand actions he does as soon as there isn’t an easy pass on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I’m just at a total different view than most people on this. Defence isn’t our problem in fact it’s an asset considering we have 2 of them playing more as attacking wingers that’s no mean feat. We have four creative players who’s job it is to create space and find ways to get goal scoring opportunities with two defenders also an option for them and usually either Jack or Kamara also forward that’s seven players attacking. We need more from our creative players, Jack and Kamara are doing their job in winning the ball high up the field and maintaining possession football. Jack plays the ball to the creative players only for them to play it back, none of them make any attempt at running into space, Arfield did it once and Jack almost got the ball to him. We need better from players like Hagi,Kent and Morelos and this system will turn possession into goals, they are failing us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
