HaydnNUFC Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 He's been poor since the New Year but I think it's because our primary tactic means that almost everything goes through him. He takes set pieces, our tactic is for Burn to shuffle into a back 3 whilst Trippier bombs forward, so the LW gets no full back support and the vast majority of our attacks go down the right. Couple that with Almirón, the whole thing is predictable as fuck. Needs tweaking; Targett in, Isak in, ASM to start and either Gordon or Murphy. Attack Wolves from minute 1 next week and get the crowd involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well let's be honest if Krafth had been fit then Trippier would have had more of a rest this season. But I think it's affecting trips now fitness wise mentally aswell and needs must.

pedro111 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I didn't think he was that bad. I mean most of the time when he gives the ball away it is through trying to force something positive to happen. He goes for the harder more risky pass. I am happy with that tbh. Love the bloke.

I don’t really mind him losing the ball with passes in the opposition half but the amount of stray passes in our half is mounting and that’s what’s worrying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 He lost the ball in areas you just cannot lose it. Early in the game he had just outside the box and lost it and left the the back three scrambling to clear there lines. The second goal he should of hoofed it clear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OoOGazOoO Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 He hasn't seemed himself the last few games, been pretty sloppy in possession and his delivery has been off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Its possibly an incremental effect of Targett and Krath being injured, having to play the same players. Don't know where I'd have changed things but just not being able to hasn't helped. Always felt the small squad was our biggest problem, hearts were in mouths whenever Tripps, Jo, Bruno went down and home to roost now, at the traditional time of a season you'd expect it.

Jaqen Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 His forms dropped but he should really have at least a few assists to his name since the WC where he's put them on a plate for someone to miss a sitter. Feel for him a bit as he's having to deal with Longstaff and an out of form Almiron on that right side and there's too much reliance on him from an attacking point of view. He's constantly given the ball in tricky situations and theres not a lot of movement around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is good post, I’ve also noticed our midfield being far too high in transition. it’s good if you have great passers from deep but when we have an off day it ends up in us turning over the ball in dangerous areas. Jamal played really well yesterday but it’s noticeable how much we missed Schar ability on the ball and Botman was also sloppy yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Seen him getting pelters in the match thread, but I thought the goal was just bad luck tbh. Slipping at that moment is obviously just massively unfortunate. If Pope gave him a shout then it's more of an error I guess, as he shouldn't have been swinging at it in the first place. On the other hand, if Pope didn't give him a shout, then that's the actual error that caused the goal, given how much he'd committed himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I'm sure he'll shake this off quickly but he was reluctant to go over and celebrate Almiron's goal. Had to be coerced by Schar and Longstaff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a defender I was always taught that in those situations it's safety first like. He was right to attempt to deal with it and unfortunate to slip in my opinion. Shit happens.
