How’s it clear? The miss placed passing happened all of last season aswell. Drunk and disorderly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens course it does but there was alot more of it than usual for me, passes that should have been bread and butter second half especially.

graeme_4 37,618 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I thought Borna was helped by having Cantwell near him who seems to demand high standards, and always makes himself available. Opposite of what he had on the left previously. Drunk and disorderly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrupsleftfoot 12,245 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Can’t fault Borna’s delivery but after that there is nothing. Absolutely fuck all he’s particularly good at. Can’t beat a man, can’t defend one v a one, utter weakling who under pressure will continue to make the same shitty back post mistakes he always makes.

Dunno why when he got the assist for the 2nd goal he then decided not to keep trying they crosses all game and resorted to the big far out looping numbers that get us fuck all Laudrupsleftfoot and Fred H Crawford 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a few times in the second half, especially when we had the man advantage, where he could have broke down the line but instead hung back for the pass, and when he got the pass he never looked for the 1-2 to try get to the byline Not just him mind you, the whole team stopped playing their game after lammers miss Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im happy enough if the majority of the crosses were like the assist for the 2nd If between tav and Borna we put in 35 crosses a game, and 60% were of the 2nd goal the other night, thats 21 crosses across the 6 yard box, the ones defenders and keepers hate, we'd score 2 or 3 a game just from they crosses wether its a ditect assist or a rebound comes back out to someone in the box But we dont cross like that Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its much much harder to defend against drilled low crosses across your 6 yard box than floated long cross that you can actually attack and clear, we dont do enough of the first and way too many of the second graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
