ElDiablo Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Is our biggest problem imo. Now Pearson's gone I hope we get some decent coaches in to sort the organisation first in defence then further up the pitch because we all know it's not Keegan's strong point. The simple things aren't getting done and confidence is so low that the players especially the defence are instead of pressuring high up the pitch (which Villa did well) are backing and backing off which means Villa with their Bolton-esque tactic could just float a cross in and one of them would win it. The goals were so pathetic and avoidable is boils my piss to see them keep doing it. By doing this also it means when we do win the ball everyone in so far back there's no options so the only thing to do is to either play your way out then lose it (see Duff and Carr about 5 times) or smash it, meaning it comes straight back. We've actually got a good bunch of players but to see them play without any system and be the architects of their own downfall is terrible, needs sorting asap.

Ronaldo Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 how the fuck do you organise a defence with Taylor and Carr in it? it's like quoting shakespeare to 5 year olds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 how the f*** do you organise a defence with Taylor and Carr in it? it's like quoting shakespeare to 5 year olds Taylor is not that bad, but fair point about Carr. I think you organise someone else to lock him in the dressing room. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly he just thought that since it was 3-1 already, and Barton had already gotten away with a corker, he might as well give it a go for some shits and giggles and see how far he could go and get away with it. Comic genius. Villa, and especially Carew, obviously thought it was hilarious! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Watching us in the last two games, the organisation of the midfield especially and also the defence in stepping up when appropriate has been fucking MILES better. Brilliant to see that Houghton (sp?) has made such a good impact on the side so quickly as I had my doubts about him at first. Brilliant, look like a different team.

Thespence Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 The centre of defence benefits having the 3 midfields predominately in front of them, at times the fullbacks are exposed to 1 on 1 situations but every formation has strengths & weakness.

Guest Stephen927 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 One niggle is they backed off a couple times, not too often but it was evident when we went 3-0 up. Overall, much improved. I'm impressed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearer9 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I thought a team with a bit more quality or pace (Kitson must be the slowest man in the Premiership) would have scored the opener. They had some good chances and Beye in particular had to make some last ditch tackles. But after we went up, they were dead in the water. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
