KaKa Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 1 minute ago, ManDoon said: Yeah at least Shelvey can occasionally tackle and has some vision. Willock is killing us in there. He can’t play there Yeah, Howe wants someone that can get up and down the pitch in that role, and Willock has the athleticism for it, but he doesn't have the know how or the physicality at all. I think he should give Hendrick a shot at it personally, as he's more experienced playing that sort of role and has done it internationally. It still won't be perfect, but we just need someone that isn't completely clueless in that role. Think Shelvey has done really well, considering he's been partnered by Willock in there, who is causing problems both defensively and going forward. He's been a nightmare. The only other option would be trying a three man midfield, which he changed to at half time, but we never got to see it for long enough as they scored soon after the half, and then subs were made.

It’s the same as the Arsenal game. These teams don’t even have to play well to make us look bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 30 minutes ago, Nobody said: Since coming in, he's changed Darlow for Dubrabka, Ritchie for Lewis, Manquillo has come in instead of Murphy, Schär instead of Clark. Changed half the starting eleven compared to his first game in charge He has changed the team substantially. However we are no better than we were under Bruce and don't have anymore points than I expect Bruce would have got. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Newcastle Fan said: You can't play at this level with no players that can control the ball in midfield, the team is full of players who want to run with the ball and then you got Shelvey walking around behind them hardly utting in any effort, and when you got the average defenders we've got your just asking to be destroyed, god help us in the next two games. This is the main concern for me. Look at the difference it made for Leicester to have Tielemans back. Someone in this thread posted the central midfielders we had during the two seasons we were relegated and it really shows how incredibly important it is we get proven quality central midfielder(s) in January.

We were horrific after 10mins and despite have a far superior manager (over Bruce) in Howe, the collection of garbage we have in this team is sending us down. Which, might actually be for the best in the long term. I'm as pissed off as you are at the frustration of reality clouding this team being better. It sucks to suck. We need to give Howe time and money, we'll be better in the not too distant future and most of these nothing players will be gone sooner than later.

KaKa Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 4 minutes ago, The Bonk said: It didn't need to be that embarrassing. The only one I have any empathy for is Howe and the mess our new owners have to unfuck. It's wild that most of these players have been together multiple seasons, yet seemingly have no clue how to play cohesively. What's most disappointing is any optimism that had come from our takeover, is the realization at how garbage our squad, mentality and poorly mismanaged this club has been for most of my adulthood. Thing is if we are going to work on changing the way we play we are going to have to expect some days like this against better teams. Yes Leicester have been struggling, but once I saw Tielemans, Maddison and Barnes were in there I thought his could be a possibility. I think the manager will learn a lot from games like this, and he'll just have to figure out how to set the team up to be better using the ball with the players we currently have. We could have come in today and just sat in Bruce style, but then we likely would have lost by what 2 instead of 4? But then what do you really learn from that? Painful day, but lets see what changes are made in the team going forward now. If it means no more Willock in central midfield I will gladly take that,, because that is the huge issue right now.

Collage Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 None of our CMs are good enough. Maybe need 3 of them with Hayden as a ”shield” but that puts Joelinton out of his best position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
