  1. This is where I’m at too, people comparing bailey when he came on there and he’s playing in a completely different position
  2. Crazy how things change when we stop trying to play it through the middle into centre backs and a packed midfield. Back to the same set up expecting a different result next game though no doubt.
  3. Terrible delivery, plays it backwards at every opportunity too
  4. Thought he was a cert to start after Diabys 90 at Chelsea
  5. Clutching. Suppose he should score for Diaby there too
  6. We’re watching a different game then, any time he drops deep he’s got a centre back stuck to him and has done since Everton at least. Teams know how we play. We don’t create chances from out wide. Our midfield is blocked off by every team we play. That was a poor pass from tielemans left foot which Ollie could do very little about
  7. The worrying thing is we just had a long break to try and freshen things up and by the looks of things we did nothing
  8. How are you watching this and criticising Watkins. Lewandowski struggles in this side
  9. No attacking width kills us at times, asking a lot of Moreno to create chances out of nothing down the left
  10. If teams don’t let us walk it into the 6 yard box we don’t know how to score
  11. The way we played up until December stopped working, I thought things might have been different after the break but it’s still hopeless in the final third
  12. Taking kamara out of that midfield would be suicide
  13. We’ve been shite in the final third for a month. Burns having a great time heading long balls up to Diaby as well
  14. It’s a bit depressing, we’ve sold 30-45 million worth of youth this season, and spent roughly ?80 million on new signings. Emerys hardly spent big in two transfer windows now. And that’s with us finishing 7th last year. Newcastle I understand being tight Howes spent 400 odd million since he’s arrived with very few sales in that time. Difficult to become a top 6 team unless you sell one of the best players in your team, likely to a team above you who’ll spent double what you spend per window because they’re a top 6 team.
  15. Big fan of JJ but he’s been miles off it, and we were sat second mid December without any substantial input from him in our starting 11.
  16. Of course he can improve, I’ve not said otherwise. The answer for me is not for him to be smarter though, and definitely not give defenders a harder time. The system and how Ollie performed in the first half of the season was perfect, now teams have clocked how we play, and up top we’re less effective. We want to control games, every situation is coached and the majority of our goals are perfectly worked chances in the box, you can’t do that every game. Did Ollie give tarkowski and brainthwite a hard time? Nothing came of that either. Ollies way of making things happen is dropping deep to create space and pull a defender with him, and he does it well. Ollie and Ivan play in two very different teams with different methods of attacking in the final third.
  17. Smarter how though? His overall game has improved this season, 8 assists in the league is excellent. I don’t think there’s anything different Ollie can do when the reason he’s not getting chances starts from the defence, Everton for example he’s chasing long balls and battling tarkowski for knock downs. He’s been working smarter since Emery arrived, I just think we need to evolve even more in the final third and how we get there
  18. This is it I think and that’s why it’s hard to criticise Ollie etc he’s not missing chances, he’s not getting them. The most he’s on the ball atm is on our half way line
  19. I’m not worried about Ollie, I’m worried about our lack of attacking threat due to how we’re trying to create chances which isn’t working
