I cant remember the last time i saw one of our fullbacks overlapping.
The blame culture of losing the ball is the main reason why no players are taking risks. Safe option will only lead to slow build up, and slow build up will inevitably create an even bigger problem to score when the opponent had time to set up a defensive shape.
Vicious cycle is killing us.
long gone are them days, Baines and Pienaar, Coleman, nobody even bothers to run up the pitch anymore.I cant remember the last time i saw one of our fullbacks overlapping.
But , but , Dyche can work wonders with crap players , that’s what everybody was telling us all along , he’s apparently the only manager who could do anything with players as crap as ours , it was his specialty!!!Crap players playing is what's killing us. Crap players with a crap manager.
Because it took Moyes a few seasons to build that balance.The problem is we are a deeply unbalanced side, I can't understand how under Moyes we had less money, yet had a much more balanced side. After a as a creative midfielder, Pienaar and Baines working together on the left. Carsley, Neville and Felaini as defensive midfielders. Under Martinez you had Barry who was comfortable on the ball, McCarthy who could run and Barkley was better then. Plus players like Mirallas and Gerry on the wing, add to that Coleman who helped out. The problem yesterday is you had a 38 year old Ashley Young playing at right back, Mickey at left back, hes a good defender, not that great at attacking. Danjuma would of been ok on the left, if we had Lucas Digne, McNeil would of been good on the right if Coleman was there. The problem was we had no creativity on the wings or the centre. Gueye is an alright DM, but he needs a player whose comfortable in possession, good at passing or an engine in midfield. He had Onana who was completely anonymous, I don't know what he does, Doucore is never in control of the ball, and loses it all the time. What's the point of playing long balls to Beto then DCL is they have nobody to knock the ball on to. The failure to bring in someone who is actually comfortable on the ball has cost us.
Our passing is very uncomfortable and uncontrolled, it’s pass and get it up field as fast as hell and lose it. Been like that since Benitez
Our players look like they have no time on the ball where the oppo could stop and make a cup of tea
All about coaching.
