Oregon_Geordie Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Longstaff is just meh....amount of times he just chases a man back hopelessly. It's a weekly feature. He was too busy arguing with the ref at one point and let his man run off him. Just a passive, sloppy and indecisive footballer. Our Midfield has ZERO recovery pace.

500bhp Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 5 minutes ago, Emotic said: The way we're shipping goals just illustrates how critical Pope is to our system, tbf. Dubs doesn't have the reach and isn't fully committed enough to the sweeper role to be effective. I made this point in the Pope thread last week. But apparently I was talking shit according to some and its solely the midfield to blame and not Dubs! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 2 minutes ago, Stifler said: Seen the players they have for the counter attacks? We have been time and time again by them on the counter, so why the fuck is your CB running past the CM’s towards the opposition box instead of just fucking passing the ball? No need to be that angry about things that could’ve happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 The focus on Burn seems to be having a destabilising impact on the whole defence/team. Gordon is getting pinned back, and the whole backline is getting frazzled and discombobulated in really low pressure situations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are too fragile at the back, I’m confident we’ll score again but not confident they won’t score too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) that stuff about BDB playing so that he can sit back when tripps attacks looks to be bollocks. he's forever needlessly bonmbing forwards and being caught out of position.

ikri Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 4 minutes ago, pubteam said: Our defending is dreadful. We never have the game in control, always look like conceding against any opposition. It's the midfield. Longstaff and Miley follow the ball far too often and coupled with the lack of pace in the midfield they get bypassed far too easily.

We are so easy to play through in midfield. Yes there’s issues wiht Burn but protection of back four is woeful. Attack looks impotent today too tho.

alexf Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Dunno how many more times this has to happen before we see an actual proactive halftime sub from Howe. We cannot continue like this, we look like conceding every single time. But it feels such a simple solution to relief the pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I feel bad for constantly going on about it, but that first goal just highlights that Miley doesn’t have a clue what’s going on behind him at any point. If Joelinton goes we need two new midfielders in summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the same player he was last year, definitely a yard slower after his injury. Our entire team has no recovery pace aside from Gordon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andybiotics Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 If Howe has absolutely anything about him as a Manager, he will make a couple changes at half time. Burn CANNOT come out for the 2nd half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only two players I worry about on the ball are Burn and Pope. Pope outside of the box is the stuff of nightmares. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
