OCK Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Regarding Anderson, you've got an attacking player suddenly being asked to do defensive duties. So, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt here that they're too busy worrying about where they should be defensively its fucked up everything else.

mighty__mag Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Eddie is predictable, he'll take Murphy off at some point, move Isak wide with Gordon switching or Isak taking up wide attacking role, and bring on Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We look totally disjointed and the players don't seem to understand their roles at all here. Sheffield look far better organised as far as putting moves together. Yeah, the last three halves of football we’ve looked like a bit of a rabble. 10 days off have not been useful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Anderson and Longstaff have been on the ball least for us (outside of Isak/ Dubs). For being our midfielders, that's poor. They should be getting more involved and looking to controlling the game but they aren't really doing anything at all today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

astraguy Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I swear its just Bruno in midfield, Longstaff and Anderson must be in the stands yet we have no one else who can break up play with Big joe and tonali out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUICE690 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Thought this would be a chilled watch but we look, awful. We aren't able to keep control because some god afwul passing. And then they (bottom of the table Sheffield United) carve us open on the break because it's so easy to do. Longstaff seem devoid of confidence and we don't have the players to carry him right now.

Like a goal maybe. He's been anonymous so far which is a surprise. Normally he wants to be involved in everything. Looks like Bruno is playing in that central area by himself at times, and he's not been at his best either. But I think that's because he's getting isolated.

Checko Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) The way we play we basically only have Bruno in the middle. The other 2 CMs both go and stand in a wide V ahead of him, often just standing there. There's no movement there at all. Then when we lose the ball there's absolutely no cover in the middle and we're so easy to counter on. This has been the problem all season. Would much rather see us play more of a 4231. Keep one of our other CMs deeper so Bruno actually has someone to pass to in the middle and cover if he goes forward. Particularly as we've got 2 attacking fullbacks, we need another CM to sit in. Think Tino and Hall have done well. Burn's made some brilliant blocks. Hopefully we step it up, but you feel like they have so much space when we lose the ball and our CBs are so slow that we're going to keep giving up chances.

They went to shit last season when they'd got to the FA cup final, they've gone to shit this season when someone's told them we need to get high enough to get european footy next season. I mean this is nonsense. We were under extreme pressure to get top four last season from around ten games out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
