This allows Tav to play make from deep / make late timed runs into the box where he’s such a goal threat. It also puts more crosses into the box which we barely did today because we couldn’t get forward from wide areas.

Super Ally Scores Again! 516 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Got it wrong tonight - Peetty much played 3 CB as Lundstram was so deep and we gave up the midfield. Jack looked leggy and Kamara and many others were well off it… Had a chance to change it at HT and didn’t then got desperate just chucking players on. Its early days but I’ve got the fear with any balls into the box and we don’t look good at all going forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we bully teams into submission? Do we play a fast counter style of play? Tika taka passing teams off the park with quick triangles attacking?? I literally see no team identity with us bar looking for tav or Alfie to dig us out a hole constantly. The No.9 and GaryMc 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

westenclosure2008 805 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 The problem is personnel. We really lack creativity and another window has nearly passed and it’s not been addressed. We’ve tried to fill that gap with cheap options with no real pedigree. Colak looks to me to offer no more than Itten would so far. Was the Davies signing necessary or would Balogun have been adequate? Personally I think the money would have been better spent in the final third. We are just consistently adding squad players in this department. There is such a lack of goals in our squad. We’re too reliant on Morelos on Tav. I fear the worst for this season.

However, I certainly wouldn't have been as keen if I knew that Lundstram was playing as a CB. For someone who normally has very solid game management Gio had a really, really off night. Half time was a huge opportunity to turn this tie and we fucked it, a massive mountain to climb. But B, we never started that way mate after dominating first 15 he dropped him in. I don’t get that at all, they weren’t a braga or Leipzig so I didn’t get it at all, it might have cost us CR3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then we seemed to drop into a pre-agreed formation with Lundstram in a 3 and it just spiralled from there. Bizarre as fuck.

Dickie 12,906 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 They were terrified of us for 15 mins then realised we are pish and then we totally handed over the midfield to them. Gio was either unable or stubbornly unwilling to change things and I fear the worst under his negative style of play.

I just think they'd decided to focus on the defence to begin with and look to counter. When we were then so shite it gave them more and more confidence as you say. I really doubt they were terrified tbh, they barely panicked or even got flustered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs cut through our defence once or twice (to be expected no?) and we shit the bed and drop Lundstrum back. We end up conceding even more chances because we’ve one less out-ball in midfield. Learning from your mistakes is surely a basic requirement for a top level manager? Unless he addresses this quick, the players are going to lose trust in his decisions if they haven’t already.
