Ronaldo Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 He’s clearly being encouraged to bomb forward by the way or he’d be out of the team. Need a midfielder who can protect to drop in but we don’t have one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Still don’t think he was to blame for the Milan goal. The Milan central midfielder ran past 2 central midfielders who were well positioned to stop him. When he goes. Someone should fill in. It’s basic.

He ran into the box when there was no need. Usually his runs go to the edge, then be in an area to assist on any counter. That run took him out of the game and that goal out of Europe.

It ends up being 4 vs 3 in Milan’s favour. That’s not Schar’s fault. The Milan player literally bursts past Bruno and on to our back 3. The athleticism is awful and the lack of game nous to bring him down is symptomatic of the naivety of our team. Trippier did the same on thr weekend. Bruno had an opportunity to stop the attack and he didn’t. It’s more his fault than Schar. Isak is also close to the Milan player. He’s fresh off the bench. He ends up behind the 4th Milan attacker. It was piss poor from him too. Attackd break up at the edge of opposition box all the time. There should be midfielders around to protect the defence when it does. That’s the point of a midfield.

ExiledGeordie Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 He’s been bombing on far too much at the moment. One of the factors leaving us wide open. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 He bombs on WITH the ball. They can all see him do it. I don’t understand why none of the midfielders think - man I need to cover for him. Probably because none are natural DMs. But it should have been corrected by management awhile ago or he should be told to stop if the plan is for nobody to sweep up for him.

Let’s not get too Rinus Michels. Who is more likely to cause problems in the opposition area - Bruno or Schar? Given that I’ve asked a rhetorical question, Schar needs to stop whatever Total Football fantasy is playing in his head and get back to playing centre back.

I mean, you’ve just answered the very point you’ve been raising. None of the MFs can cover - so why does Schar keep doing it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t argue that - but they simply don’t do it. And Schar can’t be blind to that. It works better when Joelinton and Willock play, as they offer cover on the left & do the defensive work, allowing Burn to tuck in (BDB gets called all sorts on this site, and people wonder how he plays ahead of Livramento - for me, it’s because Burn allows Schar and / or Trippier to bomb on more).

He’s not someone who can tuck in and cover at centre half though, is he? NB I wouldn’t pick Burn ahead of Livramento either. But I also wouldn’t allow Schar to think he’s fucking Beckenbauer, and I would tell the dozy sod to stay in shape / formation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
