My goodness. How isolated is Wilson :lol:

 

So we're playing the same [;ayers as last match except we've setup to give Wilson less support by moving Joelinton out right, and having Shelvey and Hendrick sit back miles away from Wilson.

 

This is just so bad man. Why not just leave it as it was for goodness sake. And if you're changing it to this setup then play Fraser or Almiron ahead of Joelinton. Joelinton on the right in this system doesn't make sense.

 

 

 

Worth mentioning that Hayden is anchoring the midfield behind Shelvey and Hendrick as well :lol:

ASM aside we have no outlet, and they are crowding him out, lots of little fouls against him in the middle of the pitch where we have no ability to create an attack from.

Having Almirón on for Joelinton would be good.

We need to apply more pressure on them. They are waiting to up their game here and just blow us away.

They're going through our midfield like it's not there.

 

Our midfield seems to be ASM - Hendrick - Shelvey - Joelinton (not the soundest defensively), with Hayden spending more time in a back five than in midfield. Trouble is, it means that Hayden isn't really figuring anywhere.

 

ASM wasting a very good situation at the end there. He should have fed Wilson in.

God-awful defending when they're taking corners. Joel passing out of the pitch or to Man U. Hendricks doing little. Zero pressing. Utter shit.

 

Almiron and Fraser on for Joel and Hendricks, start pressing, stop giving them so much space and time and we could actually get this. But we won't.

This is fucking dog shit as per, we dont press at all, team selection is baffling. Clueless.

 

Compare this to Southampton’s performance earlier. Night and fucking day.

 

Or Villa, or Brighton.

 

We're so far off even them it's scary.

There’s no pressing anywhere from us, their midfield have 5 yards of space to receive the ball. We are relying on their final ball being shit but if they just play short, quick passes they’ll get through us every time. It’s utterly abysmal.

 

Not trying to pick anyone out but there is simply no point in Joelinton, get Fraser on and bring Almiron on at 70 mins. We are ridiculously easy to play against.

Letting them have the ball has played right into their hands. It's only because they are not that clinical the score is still 1-1.

 

I think most sides in the Premier would be beating these.

Can't even call this a 4-3-3 at all. It's a 4-5-1, and a very defensive one at that.

 

Has to take Joelinton off. He can't play so far out wide. Guy finally starts looking like he could build of something playing off Wilson, and Bruce has bottled it for no apparent reason.

 

The manager is petrified of any team with some kind of reputation. Even one badly off form. It's disgraceful.

It's been painfully obvious all season we dont press at all, when they have the ball the tactic just seems to be leg it back into our half.

 

You'll never win anything with pressing good old fashion boot it to big man is always best
