A little better execution in the attacking moves and we’ve got every chance. I do get the reasoning behind the gameplan - But as Reefa stated - I would have had ASM on the wings to have some sort of other way of getting the ball up rather than just hoofing it up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is playing for a draw with an off chance to nick a win. Ain't pretty but that's the plan and halfway there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe seeing the way they train influences who Jones picks or is that a concept too far for most people? We have a shit squad that has been badly coached under Bruce and Jones is doing the only thing he can which is make us difficult to beat while conceding possession. Rafa who most people want back here did exactly the same. Anybody thinking we are suddenly going to become some coherent attacking possession based team with the players we have especially in midfield knows fuck all about football. Jones did the coaching under Bruce. Bruce didn’t do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d also not have several of the players on the pitch but it’s hard to criticise when we’re currently getting a result against the best team in the league.

Disco Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Not pretty but it's working. Chelsea haven't created much and don't look like doing so, so far. Missing Werner loads in a game like this - too many players running away from the goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthy Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Good half cancelling them out, but I hope to see some outlets on either side so we can look to move the ball around rather than just the panic hoofing. Not sure how ASM didnt get a freekick on that challenge from Jorginho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking personally, I'm absolutely NOT expecting "all out attack". I'm expecting us to press higher up the pitch, have our best players on the park and offer a threat when we have the ball. That's very different to "all out attack". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
