Game Management

We simply shot ourselves in the foot. We are making silly errors and being punished

 

[hktoffee]

Yeah, because when you are losing, you need to sit back and defend the loss/goal difference

I understand that but the tactics aren't working.

I understand that but the tactics being imposed is wrong though. It doesn't work.

Mate, I'd take you more seriously if you could express your thoughts in a coherent sentence.

It really is just this.

Leicester - Distin clearance straight to Leicester player for goal. Jags slide tackle straight to Leicester player for goal.
Arsenal - Jags misses header and Distin doesn't even challenge and Giroud scores.
Chelsea - Jags playing offside like a bell plus Jags and Distin not throwing a foot in when Matic scores
Palace - Howard not happy that he's been left out of making howlers decides to join in the fun and makes a couple himself for good measure.

Out of all the goals we have conceded I think there are probably only about 2 where I've thought "fair play good football" from the opposition. The rest have been absolute howlers from us. Now this early in the season he ain't just gonna boot out Howard, Jags and Distin as they are all top pros. They need to sit down and sort there bonces out though sharpish otherwise others HAVE to come in and replace them. Starting with Stones of course.

Why was a striker jumping un-apposd with our keeper ????

Ok. I mean there are ways to attack but the current attacking formula, when we are behind, leave gaps and holes in the middle of the park and make us even more vulnerable at the back.

We made 3 individual errors, they scored 3 goals. Nothing to do with them counter attacking or whatever.

 

[cjohno]

problem is why is osman playing 90 minutes with the squad weve got,hes poor always has been always will be not good enough

 

[Titus Bramble]

I understand that but the tactics aren't working.

We created plenty of chances to score, they defended well when they had to and a few lucky bounces went their way in the box. Other than when they hit the bar(which was a deflected shot from half a mile out) and when they broke away when we were 3-1 down and going for it they created sweet FA.

Well, yeah, it's called 'chasing a lead.'
