Ronaldo Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 They know exactly what they’re doing, to be fair. Every medium - long range pass is aimed right between our defence and midfield and they got a lot of joy from it first half hour. You need a bit of luck or extra quality against teams like this and without Isak up top that leaves good fortune. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 What an horrific goal to concede that, Hall was poor granted but the play should never have reached him twice over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 One of my pet hates in football is full backs on the wing/wide forward. Such a different role attacking from deep to playing in forward areas of the pitch. I know we're going forced here with injuries so I don't blame Eddie too much.

We are much better when we go hell for leather. I bet we see a different second half Maybe if you'd controlled your betting habits we'd be in a position to do that.

Mattoon Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Without Isak dropping deep to help build from the midfield, I wonder if we'll see Almiron or Gordon Central in the 2nd half to try and bring the ball in play higher up the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I’ve said it before a. I think some of our players lack a bit technically. Plus we looked a bit scared/stressed really. Might be a lack of experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
janpawel Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Dortmund aren't near the best team we've played the last year, but we seem to struggle against them the most....

jack j Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 The criticism of trippier is starting to get tiresome Every time we are in trouble we pass to trippier. Nee wonder the bloke makes the odd mistake Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Overall general thoughts: 1. We can't press as intensively because of injuries/schedule/top teams are better as passing through it. 2. We need more top technical skill in the midfield. Struggle to move it quickly and not enough urgency. When we can't make chances buy winning the ball high up the pitch we struggle. 3. They get more players in supporting their striker. Our striker is usually very isolated and I don't think I've seen Wilson retain posession since palace. 4. Feel like most things good have come through Joelinton 5. Generally we look short of ideas on the ball resorting to low % long straight balls forward. 6. Please buy an elite playmaker. 7. Hopefully we've been pacing ourselves a little and pick it up next half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I think we over complicated things with those tactics and made it easier than it should be for them, need a change at half time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Livramento at right wing doesn't work like. Clearly looks like a right back who isn't sure how to play there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I looked it up (it was claimed on some blog) he'd played almost exclusively at full back or wing back in a 5 throughout youth and reserve level. Again being a wing back massively different role to be a wide forward. And even if he had played there - it would be clear that he's moved back for a reason to best exploit his attributes. He needs to be running into space not receiving it in forward areas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 we just need to be patient. The ball over the top into the channel between their RB and CB looks like it could work for us. Almiron on would help us a lot too. We can’t threaten down there at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
