El Prontonise Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Just now, Lush Vlad said: Even with the no striker excuse and the usual lack of options on the bench. This has been shocking. Predictable in attack and wide open behind the midfield and in behind the defence time and again. Even if we draw. This somehow feels worse than Luton the way we’ve played. Yeap, we should be able to control the game still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagten Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 2 minutes ago, STM said: Burn is shite but its not even close to being our problem. The midfield 3 are appalling. How many teams would Longstaff and Miley start for right now? The answer is not great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintdempsey Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Every single team (except Sunderland) cuts right through us. Bad luck, injuries to key players and what not - that’s not the sign of a good team or a good manager to be honest. If we can’t get more than a point from games against Forest, Luton and Bournemouth at home - questions will have to be asked? Feels shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running around loads but never touching the ball is not a tactic I am familiar with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinky Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 TBH the only players who inspire confidence in close play are Schar, Trippier, Bruno and Isak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s another problem yeah. Sorry I meant biggest problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the top yes, but Arsenal scoring for fun, we are shipping for fun. Probably around 4-5 goals. Oh yeah, it’s a nailed on 4-0 loss. Not 10 though. Fortunately they won’t be countering us, so it might be tighter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 There’s still a lot of football to be played this season but I can’t wait for it to be finished so we can start again next season with hopefully some options. So many kicks in the balls before we even get going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Defence is low on confidence. It's a vicious cycle right now. Midfield can't help the defence out, nothing upfront to ease pressure, defence getting exposed and lower and lower in confidence. We need bodies back or should have signed a third striker in the summer or in January. We gambled twice and lost both times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
