Fitness seems a massive issue too imo, we look second to the ball all over the pitch. Our challenges are lazy/tired where we just stick a leg out and make it easy for *David Mcgoldrick* to skip past us.
Why I think we only do well in a low block and surrender possession, as we can’t get caught out of position or there’s no space to. It’s genuinely mind-boggling how bad we are at closing down, proper Sunday league stuff how we just didn’t think to get close to a man. DCL or Richarlison will close the keeper down, but they will just pass it around them as there is a 40 yard gap to our midfield of crabs, who are sat deep to not expose our defence.
No one on the pitch seems capable of thinking for themselves at the minute either, filling in for others, being able to swap positions when needed. It’s all very rigid, there’s never ever any runners from deep beyond the front two, and not sure if it’s a case of confidence/fitness/laziness/instructions/being pathetic losers. Basically everything unless we’re sat on our own box with 30% possession and hope DCL scores
Monday morning so needed a rant
