We must not scapegoat when the problems boil down to collective mistakes and formation issues. So we you are saying we should scapegoat the manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heffoman Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Thought he had a very mixed match tonight. Defenisve was poor. look at their first goal. He was staring across the box watching an unmarked player stroll into the centre and made no move to come across. Attack wise he was didnt offer a huge amount but took his goal well with some clever thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Anyone think he'd be more useful as a wingback in a 3 - 5 - 2? As a matter of fact, probably both him and Cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash, nah, he is a defensive RB for me, going forward he is pretty gash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact, probably both him and Cash. I’d be interested to see that. I think the current problem is the narrow system negates a natural winger providing support. The midfield gets too overrun too easily so they aren’t covering him. A new midfielder and formation changes would honestly do a lot to change how we play and take pressure off of Lucas and others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we persist with wanting Digne and Cash to be our wide attackers then I think we have to play this way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted August 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) I’m struck by how much everything we do in matches involves Digne and Cash. Their individual “touches” numbers are so high, you realise, any way you slice it, they are acting as the de facto channels through which everything flows. Is that really what we want? It sort of determines a style of attack that just seems extremely limited and limiting. They almost look too exhausted at times to perform surgical crosses, if that makes sense? Like they just get worn down from being forced to do everything and they just get rid in desperation a lot.

He is trying to emulate Liverpool some what with Trent and Robertson but unfortunately he's not got a **** scooby doo how to do it. I think he just tells his coaches he wants his fullbacks getting assists and leaves em to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to play like Liverpool, and prove he can harness the "Klopp Liverpool way". The fact he doesnt know how to make it work & doesnt have good enough players to do it, doesnt seem to bother him. Imo the Liverpool system, is a system that can leave you very exposed if you dont know what you are doing (we have seen Liverpool exposed a few times), or dont have top level players to make it work , but Liverpool have players good enough, and coaches good enough, to make it work 95% of the time. We dont. We still persist though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steero113 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Christ, if Fat Targett had been playing for us as badly as he is for Newcastle tonight (he can barely move) he’d be getting murdered on here. Digne is out of form and I still know who I’d prefer. To think there’s people on here who think Digne was a downgrade.

AV82 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Digne much like Targett has been left out to dry by Gerrard's abhorrent system. I have no doubt we'll see a huge improvement from him when the new manager comes in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
