Greg Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Players still scared to play, always looking for safe pass, no football being played in middle of pitch between edge of centre circle and their box- hasn't been for years. Only tactic give it to Janmaat for hopeful cross into box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 We're a goal down against Huddersfield, there's no reason we can't win this still. Just hoy Ritchie and Perez on. Worked so well against Fulham having them both on...but yes I agree they have to come on now. For Hayden/Shelvey and Anita. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Regardless of who he puts out there the players are shit scared man. They can't handle any sort of pressure in the slightest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp40 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 It's really quite amazing how quickly any good feeling amongst the fan base is crushed in recent years. It's almost an instant punishment for having any hope. fans conned by spurs not turning up last game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collage Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 He'd have started agead of Aarons if Richie was fit. Shouldn't be on the bench if he can't play though, at least 45 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Rafa setting us up like we're playing Juve away in a CL quarter final is a fucking crease like This is the fundamental problem. We've got more quality than these teams so attack them from the off. I haven't seen today's game, but you wouldn't think we had more quality based on last week's performance. We could barely string two passes together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Pretty unbelievable that Perez cant get into this team. Did you see his performance vs Fulham. He surley has to be better in front of a home crowd though. No. But I know he's a good footballer and would improve this team. Regardless of what happened last week or last month. He was shocking, him,colback,and Hanley, that's why I'm guessing Rafa tried changing things for this. But he scores and that's what's needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only tactic give it to Janmaat for hopeful cross into box. This is it like. Even under Rafa this has never changed. We never play fucking football, just ponderous crap followed by crosses into the box. Only times we ever look decent is now and again when a game is open and stretched and we do some shit on the break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Sounds like a carbon copy of Fulham match. Rafa seemingly didn't learn as half the forum from that game. The other half knew 2 DMs were a mistake before Fulham. There's not two defensive midfielders though 3 last week, 2 this week. Count. Who are the two defensive midfielders? Unless Anita isn't playing on the wing as per the team sheet then there's only Hayden. And Anita. He's a DM, not a winger. He's about as much a winger as Colback's a striker. I agree that Anita shouldn't be playing and get your point that he'll offer nothing, but we're not setup playing a formation with 2 defensive midfielders. This was my point given that people are saying the formation is setup negative. It's not, we just have a shit player on the wing that we don't want there (because Ritchie had a knock).

Big Geordie Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Confidence is clearly still a huge problem as is the negativity that has been allowed to infest the club over the past few years. Not exactly time to panic yet, but Benitez needs to start kicking some bottom and if the players don't respond - drop them. Simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
