Central midfield is a huge problem, it looks like three strangers just hoyed together with no instructions.


The approach of having all three CMs do bit of everything was great for 22-23, but it’s been clear over last season and this season, teams figured that out and we need to have some more structure in there with an actual CDM.

They are going through our midfield like shit through a goose.

 

Some questions need to be asked about the untouchables maybe. Bruno, Willock and Joelinton sounds good in theory, but what are they actually doing out there?

We can’t keep possession and we don’t press. What is our actual game plan ?

 

Our players are so well suited to pressing and a lot of our good play and chance creation came off the back of that approach.

 

No idea why we've stopped doing so. Because of last season's injuries perhaps?

 

Whatever the reason it is not working and it's a bad decision.

Well you can if you expect goalkeepers to save everything while their goal's being peppered with shots I suppose 

I expect him to save those. Otherwise why even have a keeper?

I’m sorry, but once again the opposition are running rings around Burn and Kelly on that side of the pitch. If we are going to play 3 central defenders you’d at least expect them to be able to keep things tight

Not allowed to criticise Burn though...he's local and is brilliant as long as not at left back.

The thing that annoys me about the defence of Kelly is that he was well thought of at Bournemouth . Of course he was, their aim is 17th every year and he "gives his all"

 

Tino would be much more secure on that side and can actually link with Gordon / Barnes when they rotate. Kelly will be a new favourite due to his background and no doubt due to his relationship with the regime from that time

 

edit: clarifying tino is not called Tina

I got battered for this take a few weeks ago. Was never at the level we want to be 

The vast majority of our squad isn’t.

 

We have brought in 3 goalkeepers since our takeover. 2 of them will never become first choice, and will be lucky to even get a game for us. The other has a main weakness that is our main way of playing.

We are in for a long season if we have abandoned the pressing game mind. Most of the players aren’t good enough to play any other way.

Need to throw big money at a number 6 and let Bruno play with more freedom.

 

Or actually start Tonali and play him there.

 

This has been an issue for a while now, but still not addressed.
