Can we at least not wait till the end of the first half?

Can we at least not wait till the end of the first half?

the evidence is there in front of your eyes, dull unadventurous football, lack of organisation ,lack of application, shambles at the back.......but, but, but Carlo, no wonder Napoli got rid

 

[Joey66]

You're reading the league table upside down.

Newcastle took six points off us ...

 

[II McColl II]

Who'd have thought trying to play through the middle of the pitch with Holgate as your only outlet on the right hand side wouldn't work, absolutely mental that.

Getting sick to death of this obsession with binning off wide players when we are too crap to actually play through any team and rely heavily on goals from crosses.

Actually feel a bit for Iwobi, only player who looked useful for 25 minutes and has been crap since but benefits the team more having better balance out wide.

 

[LocalNative]

Coleman for Holgate for me. Holgate offers nothing going forward and in turn gives us a real lack of width up the pitch.

 

[kiss the crest]

Burnley have just shown exactly what has been and continues to be missing from our football........pacey attacking forward movement. We can still win this tho

This all day

How come we can all see this but them clowns can’t

 

[jerseytoffee]

Wind with us second half, hopefully we’ll sort ourselves out

Midfield and defense can’t continue to be so sloppy tho

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Minus James and Douc, this lot are sinking back to the same motley crew who stunk the place out for the end season post lockdown last summer.
Unless we get back into this, we could well repeat that over the coming weeks. Big half time and next 45 needed.

 

[kenada_blue]

They could of had 2 pens mate

Not having either of them. Ben Mee was practically choking Holgate, and the Godfrey one...hit his body then hand didn't it? Therefore no pen

 

[JLW]

Can go either way but more likely to go one way. What’s our name?!?!

Everton 3-2

 

[charlie atkins]

It was a 4-3-1-2, which is, can we just categorically state this now, absolutely not a system that our squad is currently capable of playing. It's far too predictable and to work it needs powerful midfielders who have composure on the ball, and also two flying full-backs to offer the width.

It resulted in Burnley being able to play one or two passes to completely stretch us and that's where they got the chances from, combined with us playing our way into trouble. Allan is wasted as the 6, too, and isn't disciplined enough to play the role.

We've switched now to a 4-2-2-2 which has helped, but we're still wide open in the middle of the park.

Iwobi and dinge used to whip the ball in first time. Thats now stopped. I can't see how we have improved. I think we can take this but as usual we don't seem confident

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

I'd have him working in the Megastore instead of as a player, if I had my way. He'd be far more influential there.

Reckon he's on Carlos out list myself, especially after his complaining

 

[ossie_21]

That move which ended in a simple save for Virginia was fantastic, but it came from Burnley FFS!! Can’t remember the last time we looked so fluid

 

[Bristol Blue]

We are well over a year in to the Carlo reign and I haven't a clue what our system is supposed to be.

I don’t think the players do either

 

[DanB90]

So the question remains, what is iwobi’s preferred position?
