pubteam Posted August 28, 2024 Share Posted August 28, 2024 I just wish we didn't play this high tempo style all of the time, we have to learn to slow it down and pass the ball to retain possession Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah I've been a tad puzzled by the criticism on here, if anything he just looks slightly anxious, but was building his way into the game, its been played at a frantic tempo end to end, he's had his work cut out. Literally not sure what we could do at LB that would make any difference, Tino has been below his standards of late anyway.

Beren Posted August 28, 2024 Share Posted August 28, 2024 Feel really bad for Willock. Looked gutted. Tonali looks bloody class. What a return. Hall needs to study film for six hours a day. He loves losing possession when not under pressure. Pope is Pope. Can't command the air in the slightest. Isak is running pointless wind sprints as usual (not his fault). Looking like a fucking slog against their second string. Going to be gassed vs Spurs. Shame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted August 28, 2024 Share Posted August 28, 2024 Nice seeing Tonali slot in neatly. Pisser re Willock who is so important to the way we play. 1-0 up in a cup game, so that’s canny. The negatives - Hall looks a million miles away from a 30m fullback at the moment, Isak isn’t just isolated but off the pace, Krafth isn’t a very good footballer.

The Prophet Posted August 28, 2024 Share Posted August 28, 2024 Patchy performance with some good stuff and some more ragged stuff.

Expand It’s more than that tbf - his positioning has been poor, his decision-making too, and for all the vaunted talk about his technical ability his pass accuracy (even simple passes) has been really poor. He’s a young lad, all the time in the world to improve, but at the moment he’s a liability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted August 28, 2024 Share Posted August 28, 2024 I feel like Krafth having so much of the ball (has made 30% more passes than any of our other players so far) is a bit of an issue. He’s not been giving it away but he’s certainly not Fabian Schar either. Midfield needs to offer more. Bruno’s barely shown for the ball at all.
