Time after time its the same mistakes from the same players. Defence was a priority this summer but we aren't any stronger in that area which is a shambles. I think centrally and left back we need a refresh. RB Tav is still contributing goals-wise, but is obviously part of the issue. I'd love to see us go a little bit flatter at the back whether it's as a 3 or a back 4, and let the mkdfield and forwards do their job rather than our forward play be dictated to by the fullbacks. May also offer more protection centrally. HG5 and JackAlex93 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance. And both Jack & Lundstram at home? C'mon mate. Their team is there for the taking. They have no CHs and will probably play 2 or 3 new signings out of desperation. Attack them, not sit in is the right approach. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That mob aren’t playing well so it needs to be all-in before the international break. Between friendlies and I think that's ten competitive games now can you see any improvement, any system or any the new players that we paid money for looking like a good buy because I can't, I'm still watching games asking exactly what formation are we playing, the season so far has been a complete shambles.

Attack them, not sit in is the right approach. I'm assuming Borna + Ridvan are both injured. Sterling looks absolutely miles off it, I don't think we have anyone else who can play there. This game will come down to who can dominate the ball in midfield, as it so often does. We'll get chances against them, but we have to be solid first and foremost.

Lord Lockin 3,923 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Nothing but a good performance and a resounding victory will make up for the shambles we've been watching so far but sadly I don't think the manager or this squad of players are capable of giving us this, pray to god I'm wrong.

Id be tempted to play that big lad who did okay in Pre Season. He probably isnt the level we require for it, but neither is Davies and Sterling is a RB. If we are going to play someone who isnt ideal, I would at least hope it is someone who could develop and is their natural position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep we were rank and Butland was our best player totally agree but this is the timeline from BBC sport. 2-1 Tav score 63.48 3-1 De Jong scores 65.20 5 minutes later Butland makes a great save from Bakayoko 1 minute after that Lammers goes close from 20 yards. 2 minutes later Bakayoko goes close again. 3 minutes later Matondo hits the post. 4-1 next attack Veerman scores. We were shite and deserved fuck all but the game went a bit mental after we scored and for a moment it could have been 3-2 rather than 4-1 with roughly 10 minutes to go.

Sportscene footage at the weekend 3 times O’Riley was in behind the main striker with a late run through the middle, would focus on Jack screening the CBs.

Madina 3,860 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Prior to the PSV game I was confident for Sunday as those pricks are there for the taking. Hopefully that shambles last night doesnt affect the confidence,if so Beale can GTF. I reckon it will be a score draw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
