My God man To get players in we also need to create space, Shelvey is out of contract next year and our midfield options ahead of him are solid. Wouldn't be missed.

Theregulars Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 To make what I think are a series of sensible observations: - we look very comfortable moving the ball side to side - full backs very involved - step down from Bruno to everyone else is very noticeable - Anderson looked good - Murphy, Fraser and trippier were poor - wood did nothing but Wilson didn’t do much more - we didn’t make too many good chances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I'd be shocked if Anderson hadn't just played himself out of a loan next season. He's ready. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 We knocked it about ok, but there was no urgency. When we needed to make a simple pass we played through a load of opposition players and ultimately lost the ball. Just no decision making at all, and a few players showing that they are nowhere near where we need them to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Mainz conceded less than Dortmund and Leipzig last season btw, and only 8 more than Bayern. Decent defensive side and we controlled that game - mistake for the goal and lack of sharpness in final third but Howe will be pleased with the pressing and intensity in my opinion.

Plus he needs time and space to create anything. A reason why he goes brutally deep more often than not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theregulars Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 2 minutes ago, Ikon said: I did. Him chasing ghosts when playing better players. Not dynamic enough. Also when put under pressure from better sides he struggles to do anything of sort of come out of difficult situations. I have watched him very closely during many games. When he goes too deep then he does some things well but then we lose an option when he goes so deep because he’s playing as a QB i don’t know what “do anything of sort of come out of difficult situations” means. Otherwise, he’s legitimately one of our most dynamic players - he can do things with a ball and spots runs into space which very few players can. He’s technically a very adept footballer. I wouldn’t say him going too deep is some form of character flaw, he was instructed to play there by consecutive managers. I agree that he’s not good defensively and there are times where he doesn’t chase and compete defensively as much as he should. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Need to get those signing in (as we all know), the lack of quality in that final third was glaring. Almiron, Frazer, Murphy and Wood offer virtually nothing in terms of creation and goals. Thankfully, I think come the end of the window this should be sorted.

The Prophet Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 That didn't teach us much we didn't already know. We have some really good players who are capable of some really good patterns of play, but we lack quality in the final third. We looked a bit knackered, but its be expected in this weather at the end of an intense week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
