Schär yellow card aside they've dealt with everything, kept the ball, and covered for Burn, Bruno, and Longstaff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d never put out this lineup if we could help it. Joelinton and Tonali can run, but if we continue with this midfield for the reminder of the season it will be a nightmare.

SUPERTOON Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Just now, STM said: One thing I will say, all noises are that Eddie wants a midfielder, which at least tells me that they know where the problems lie. We are a different side with Joelinton and/or Willock. We had problems all over the pitch there mind, not just midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 A DM means we would have to change formation to also incorporate Bruno at 6, can’t see us moving away from the 4-3-3. The current issue is who we have available in midfield, not that we don’t deploy an out and out DM imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 We've had two weeks should of implemented a two in midfield system until we get Willock or Anderson back. We have no pace in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) 7 minutes ago, SUPERTOON said: Still think we need a proper DM. Been lacking one since Tonali got banned. Out flat midfield 3 gets bypassed or cut open so easily and then they're in on goal. Huge problem for us this season and our strong interest in Phillips at least shows we're trying to solve it. Just can't see us signing one this window. Edited January 27 by Scotty66 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he's been quiet, but also should have scored twice, it's a weird one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) We always just look so open once we've lost the ball, which is quite often these days. Safe to say this midfield 3 just don't work at all and it effects literally everyone else in the team as we always seem to be on the back foot and chasing back.

SiLvOR Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Same issues we've seen all season, really. Just hope we can add to the lead. Fulham aren't anything special at all, and yet could easily have a few goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 We’re not fully clicking, but Fulham are so well organised and quick to close they make it hard to get any continuity. Did the same to Chelsea and Liverpool. For me, Bruno is the man who needs to go up a notch. He has the ability to hold the ball and find that pass. Even under this kind of pressing. Murphy’s two chances were nice to see. Feel he would have scored the first if it had come a few minutes later. Shame about the offside, but good finish. Promising.

Matt1892 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I would prefer an attacking midfielder with pace to play alongside Bruno and Longstaff/Miley rather than a defensive midfielder, which would mean an even more negative midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Concerned about Willian (who is on form) getting in behind Tripps second half. Particularly as Schar on yellow and will be more cautious re cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current issue is who we have available in midfield, not that we don’t deploy an out and out DM imo. Totally agree with this. It's the lack of physicality and speed in midfield that gives us problems. Willock, Joelinton and even Tonali would see us playing completely differently.

Joelinton7 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 That’s the trade off you make when you want a high press, intensity is our identity team who also doesn’t have an abundance of technical/high IQ players like JK’s Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did it constantly with a canny low success rate against the mackems. It just maybe didn't seem as bad because they kept giving us the ball back.
