Laudrupsleftfoot 12,242 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 16 minutes ago, The Specky Forum Organiser said: Surely anyone has to see that as a positive? There's a massive difference between that and aimlessly shelling it forward and playing for 2nd balls. There is, Goldson’s was a pin point pass to Tav in space and the relies on someone like Tav or Aribo when he was here having an excellent first touch. I feel under Clement we are definitely pumping long diagonals and balls down the line that leads to competing for a second ball. Rewatched 80 minutes of the cup final the other day and we were doing it constantly down the right hand side from Tav to Sterling. Nothing wrong with a switch of play to someone in space but that’s not really what we’re seeing. We’re obviously never going to be City but they do that all the time to good effect. I want to see us play more through the midfield and that needs a tactical change from Clement in having the 10 drop more in the half spaces, and someone very mobile so they can still make those runs into the box he’s looking for.

Yeah Goldson was really good at it for a period, particularly to Kent. The one that always stands out to me is 2 minutes in here, cuts them apart in the space of a second.

There was lots to criticise Goldson for, but I don’t think it was ever really his distribution. cascadeshrimp, Amokachi, HG5 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueshoff 12,844 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Stability is a good thing so an extension for PC is good from that point of view. He will need a couple of windows to put his stamp on the team, signs are good at the moment. Having said that the demand for success is immediate so pressure will come from that. If we see signs of improvement it will give him a bit of leeway but the vultures will soon be circling if we don't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossS1873 2,683 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 He's earned the right to be backed, but his decisions will show if it's worthwhile. Some of his tactical decisions and persistence with certain players will go against him. When we inevitably concede the usual at the back post or easily waltzing through the centre of the park goal, the knives will be out HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't complain, he's set us up for failure before a ball was kicked. Also just said in the post match that will be an important point for us. I'm done.
