    Surely can’t be much longer - his form last season was no better than Smith’s and he got sacked. This season seems more of the same.

    They haven’t had a look but they’ve been asked to be there because Gerrard wants them to. You watch any of the long balls - fullbacks are in Crystal Palace’s half cause that’s what Gerrard wants and as a result their in and away.

    No need to be scared as long as decisive action is taken

    It’s because they’re asked to play in the oppositions box

    Players ain’t the problem. The amount of 2-5m pointless passes shows that whatever the players are being coached to do - it’s not spreading the field enough which makes us very easy to defend and hence when the ball is turned over there’s space for them everywhere. This is why it seems so easy to play through our midfield. When was the last time you saw us switch the ball into space? Additionally Gerrard wants to play a possession game but because the spread is so bad we have no choice but to play it in our own half. You watch any of the decent possession teams and they play possession ball primarily in the opponents half but cause we can’t spread the pitch we don’t have this option. Bailey not being utilised to his strengths, Cash being asked to play a superhuman impossible role in defending back but also being the primary attacking width on the right. Mings has been good bar the drag he did in our box. Buendia been decent. Konsa has been garbage and does Ollie even press anymore? What happened to that? I still don’t understand why people blame the players - Gerrard is not a tactician - this was something we knew when he signed and it shows.

    Duje Ćaleta-Car

    Wasn’t that his first or second game in the prem? Got better after that IIRC

    Lol mediocre is an understatement

    Said it before, if our only improvement this year is coming from Carlos and Kamara we’re already up sh** creek. Need the gameplan to have improved, the players to be better at playing it, and improvement out of the players we already had last season to stand a chance. BuY mOrE pLaYeRs just ain’t the solution here.

    Didn’t he have like an 87% pass rate from the w/e?????
  11. KangarooVillan
    We have pace and it didn’t start on the weekend

    Head shaveable offence

    Looked decent last season with Mings. Really think he can make RCB his own now.
  14. KangarooVillan
    Thoughts if Buendia doesn’t start this week?
  15. KangarooVillan
    Agreed, was Craig Dawson the only CB that wasn’t out for a long period at West Ham last year?
  16. KangarooVillan
    Would love to see him come off the left of a 3 in a 4-2-3-1.

    Gallagher came on for Chelsea - is he even gettable now? Seems to keen to fight for his spot at this stage anyway, and I doubt minutes would make the desire any weaker.

    As I said in my OP, it seems like he’s playing too far in his head and not playing on instincts - we’ve seen him be very good at this 2 seasons ago - might just be desperately out of form, might be a managerial issue in terms of clarity or maybe his year 2 seasons ago was the exception as opposed to the norm. Ultimately if he doesn’t fix this he’s limited, yes.

    No wonder Luiz wants out - were a graveyard of Brazilian careers due to serious injuries
  20. KangarooVillan
    If a striker is running at Ezri 1v1 I still think he’s the best defender. When it comes to positioning as part of a team defence his game awareness and by extension positioning gets him caught out a lot.

    The one who got pickpocketed and handed us the second goal??

    Fair enough - sometimes I look at our squad and everything seems to point to a desire to play with 2 holding midfielders with 4 attacking players in front of the e.g. 4-2-3-1. All of Ramsey, McGinn, Bailey, Buendia, Coutinho, Watkins, Ings have better attacking qualities than they do defensive. I would love to see Big Tim step up next to Kamara in the 2 in holding midfield - he has all the qualities. Unfortunately as well, until he does probably no point signing someone for that role as will block his development.
  24. KangarooVillan
    One of the CAM roles would actually suits McGinn to a tee - just wasn’t sure who he would start over out of Ramsey and Buendia.
  25. KangarooVillan
    What would everyone think of a 4-2-2-2? Ings Watkins/Bailey Ramsey Buendia Kamara Luiz/Ireogbunum Digne Mings. Chambers. Cash Martinez
