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.

 

 

 

 

Agree, there's very little interplay between the three central midfielders, Anderson and Longstaff seem to be playing in different parts of the pitch when he's got the ball.

We are missing Tonali, Joelinton, Willock and Miley.

 

Just need to add someone actually creative and we'll be golden in midfield next season.

Or you look at the PSG at home performance and the Sheff Utd away performance too...

Honestly mate. It's tragic that we keep having to repeat this. I don't bother any more.

 

We're essentially playing at home against a Championship side, who also has 10 men out injured for this game. They actually have more injuries than us. Regardless, Longstaff and Anderson should be better than what they've got.

Wasn't anywhere near the conversation we were having though. :lol:

Miley is creative. I'm not sure what our plan is with him, but I reckon with two runners alongside him to do his defensive work and I think we'll see the best of him. His final passes/through balls are already amazing. The rest of his game needs work but he's only get that by playing and coaching.

Should he surprise everyone and leave Murphy on while taking off Isak and Gordon? :lol:

 

[emoji38] No but you'd just bring Barnes on and send Gordon right for Murphy, but Eddie will look to Wilson if things continue like the first half you'd assume.
