Ben Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Shit luck with injuries, poor squad, Ashworths fault, ill prepared for a league and european season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I thought Miley was good today in the holding role personally, he makes the occasional poor choice but that's just obviously going to happen. Put himself about and made some decent tackles, and I thought the decision to push him further up the pitch in the second half was an odd one tbh. Was also disappointed to see the idea of Trippier moving into midfield being thrown out this week, it looked effective against Forest until we just randomly stopped doing it in that game.

You need speed to get to the ball and recovery pace if you want to press high ya, Tonali Joelinton and Willock are fast and strong. I think Libra should be our first choice LB until Trips hangs it up. And 100% issue not having a fast CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his lack of physicality in our system makes him a weakness. Not sure of his ceiling tbh ah come on man, don’t come on the game thread and speak about Miley not being up to it after he put in a great all around performance, esp if you didn’t watch it yet.

You need speed to get to the ball and recovery pace if you want to press high Lack of pace across two thirds of the pitch is definitely an issue, we are about as undynamic as it gets at the moment. Our defensive line has a tendency to drop back due to the risk of being caught out (or after being caught out), and this is where the massive gaps form when the attacking element of our team are chasing the ball down like madmen at the other end. A high press starts with a high line, but we just aren't capable of it due to the lack of recovery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 boo-boys turning on Miley now? I thought the lad did really well today - got to remember, he's just 17. He will only get better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 No one is turning on Miley ffs. He's doing well but he's 17 and not a starter for most PL clubs right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People aren't turning on him, just rightly pointing out that the midfield as a unit doesn't work in their current form as they are all quite similar.

Kanji Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 We’ve been all aware that since JL has been out for the season this was the midfield. Until willock is back this what we are going to have to live with. There’s no other option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 We just look all over the place defensively but I think a lot of that comes from our current midfield 3 and we also miss Pope. Need to sort it out but that probably won't happen until we get players back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though we lost the game through sloppy passes - yes Dubs slipped but was stupid to try and play it out - just hoof it. And second goal just a sloppy pass.

If he was 24 years old £15m signing I would be disappointed. Given his age and experience he’s done a commendable job. But he’s also a weak link. Miley was excellent today - only passenger was Longstaff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infatuation Junkie Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Miley and Bruno stand out players today. Livramento changed the game as well when he eventually came on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but we could've tried to mitigate that by changing system to, say, a back 3 with Trippier and Livramento wing backs. We can't go on needing to score 3+ goals to win a match, which has been the case in every PL since Christmas for us. I'd certainly think about starting with that next week.

Sibierski Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Well Bruno didn’t get booked, so not quite worse case. But messy draw and likely Schar injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows the situation we are in and sometimes tries too much. He's getting g booked V Arsenal to get the suspension out the way so get ya cash on that.

500bhp Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Not seen any replays only the game in the stadium. Thought Miley was MOTM, great display. Dubs made two great saves first half but at fault for both goals. Solanke is worth £50m, he's like Wilson from 6 years ago but without the injuries Sell Miggy for FFP purposes plus Longstaff. Gordon is fantastic and a future England international. Tino is the future, but think he may settle in midfield. Stick with Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
