gbandit Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 There’s a major issue happening when teams press us. We cannot move the ball round cleanly, we rarely have a man free. Obviously, Liverpool are a very good team but the amount of times this season we’ve struggled to move the ball between players when under pressure has been extremely poor. We either get tackled off the ball or we just play a hopeless pass forwards and invite pressure. That’s my main concern about how we’re playing. Think it’s been magnified by the fact we’ve played so many tough games because of Europe but we look scared with the ball too often Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandy Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 1 minute ago, Ikon said: Agree. But I really don’t se many at all calling for his head??? Nobody is calling for his head. A few on here are desperate to be seen as super-fans when it comes down to the manager though. Right now though, the simple fact is that the manager is doing a rubbish job. That means he will deservedly be feeling the pressure, nothing more than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't need to rehash it, we played Liverpool away and lost, no one expected us to do anything. A decent performance would’ve been welcome. Something to build on. I think we had an Xg against of 7+. The highest recorded in the PL since they’ve collected the data. Should we be that bad? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Another shambolic display away from home. Didn't he say we should see a clear difference now we've had time to train? If anything it was worse. Lose the derby and it'll get ugly. Play shit again if you want but just do not lose that game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 People can jog on if you are going to have a go at Eddie - just look at our squad man. He's been overachieving the past 18 months - we've still a core of players from the Championship. You can't seriously think we could go toe to toe with Liverpool?

The Prophet Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 As predicted though, things could get much worse before they get better. The midfield and front line look utterly fucked and are offering no protection to the defence whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cf Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 The expected goals whilst bad isn't quite as bad as it looks. The penalty in the first half will have counted for like 1.5 because of the follow-up (obv you can't score more than once but xG strangely doesn't take this into account) and there was a bit where they had a flurry despite being offside and the flag not going up and us getting the ball at the end of it. It's still bad like, but not quite worst of all time bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Anyone who is looking for us to spend on 3-5 players in Jan May as well be looking for a new manager. its just not Eddies style and they wouldn’t be making a difference to the team for another 10 games anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) 8 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: Aye. The midfield setup doesn’t work. The current midfield 3 are too slow / lack athleticism to play the way they’ve been asked to play. Bruno pressing the oppo’s 6 and leaving massive gaps behind him. Why do we keep doing that? If teams can beak our first line of press there’s massive gaps - why? Do you think management are unable to pick up on this themselves? Or do you think it’s a matter of having limited personnel to pick from? You can argue we change the formation, but changing formation mid season during a massive injury crisis/bad form could easily leave us far worse off.

OpenC Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Cannot comprehend this How Could We Possibly Compete With Liverpool. We competed with AC, PSG, Manchester City, Manchester United this season already with some proper second rate players I'm nowhere near giving up on the lad but the overreactions to the mildest of criticism are insane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
