Amir_9 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Wish he would stop playing Gayle up front on his own. Don't think that will work in this league. Doesn't have the physicality or at the minute, effort for it. Diame is an absolute knackered dud. Strange sub to make, would have thought a formation change / Mitro or Aarons on would have made more sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggs Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 learning process? f***ing bullshit. Anyone in the first team squad who needs to learn shouldn't be there. Ridiculous comment as per. Surely we should have learned last season how to beat championship teams away from home. We haven't improved, they have. They're much less of a championship team than we are at the moment. They are still shite as well, that's what makes our position even more worrying. Agree Huddersfield bang average and we were so pedestrian and lacking in ideas and you could tell we wre not going to score Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I imagine the learning comment is because he's been focusing on defence first and the attacking training side is taking a secondary focus, at the moment, especially with makeshift players at the back. Privately, I imagine he's looked at simply getting some points from the first 2 games, be solid, get the shape right and get going in a pretty low key manner. Not necessarily wins but some points. These first 2 games have felt a lot like the first 2 games of last season. Feeling things out, some experimenting, laboured play, attacking seeming a bit disjointed. I do expect we will improve, but he needs to settle more on the game plans pretty quickly, IMO. Setting up for the counter and then leaving out your quickest players doesn't seem very smart, on the face of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original point from Grumpy was that anyone still learning shouldn't be on the pitch. We're fishing around the bargain basement for 5 mill players and loans. The only players we will get are ones that need to learn or improve on aspects of their game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 We should be looking to win games like this, that's quite true. It was a poor performance. Better players would make it easier though.

Even at that level, beyond Shelvey, Gayle, Ritchie, and Clark, most of our players were average Championship players. So as you'd expect, they're not likely to do all that well in the Premier League now that they haven't been improved upon. I'm very much of a 'Rafa has worked wonders with what he has' mindset, whereas it seems like you seem to think all of the team's problems are tactical. Fair enough, you do you and all that.
