Firstly I think Lascelles is very very limited, I think Schar is an intelligent and talented footballer, but a limited defender who lacks heart and positional sense as an out and out defender - he's a luxury and needs to play in a three. However, Lascelles was marking his man, he then got bumped, his guy feel to the floor and the goalscorer had a run on him as Trippier let him through. I'm not sure what Lascelles could have done in this situation. Yes he's shite but let's get the facts right. Schar was way out of position, he got sucked in towards Dummet. Tripper made little attempt to stop, block or jump the striker and Lascelles tried to jump, but having made contact with his man, he had no momentum to get the height. Communication was piss poor around but it was not one mans fault. Edited January 16, 2022 by Oregon_Geordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a centre midfield for starters, a centre half or 2 and some training on creating chances because we couldn't hit the target or open them up at all, still relying on magic from ASM to get something Howe was criticising his players for sitting back on a goal lead, he actually said that we should have gone for the killer second which I agree with. The players are still stuck in Bruce mode which is a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lascelles gets replaced tomorrow I'll be as happy as most here, but I don't see why he should take the blame for others on that goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree that schar was out of position, it’s the central defenders job on the side that the play is coming from to go toward the near post to cut out a low ball to the near post so you don’t get a low ball going across no man’s land and that’s where schar was doing, yes trippier let the guy get a run at the ball and should have blocked him, but Captain catastrophe didn’t try to attack the ball at any time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 The players couldn't push forward because they don't have the legs. It's no surprise we concede so many late goals when so many players can't do a full 90 minutes. We either drop deep or get done on the counter. Watford looked clueless for much of the game but suddenly came to life because they were easily winning chases and second balls and easily beating our players for pace.

Sima Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 8 hours ago, Thumbheed said: Shelvey is not playing bad to be fair but a combative DM who plays his role would make a big difference to our team. He's always there or there abouts when defending that area, and does apply pressure quite well but doesn't have the skillset to dispossess like a true DM can. A CD, followed by a DM should be our absolute priorities, but a RW should be in the mix too to give us a bit of attacking balance. Shelvey is absolute garbage, man. All of our CMs are.

I find it incredulous that a pro scout would quote mouth of the tyne? He won’t use his real name. He admitted to me the transfers get more eyes on his tactical knowledge but he could set that up with his real name. Plenty of scouts do. Surely he does not have the time, as his job is very intensive Yeah, maybe. I mean you work in this realm I don't so I'll defer to you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
