Our CBs play long balls into the channels and our fullbacks play 1-2s with Coutinho until we lose possession. Trouble is for the best part of 3 seasons we've given the ball away too much in midfield, put pressure on our defence and they start playing long balls into the channel as it moves the danger further away from goal. It has been the same thing under two managers and several attempts at different systems. At some point you have to look at it and say that the common denominator is that Luiz and McGinn just aren't good / strong enough playing together. If they both start 30+ matches next season there is no way that we finish top half. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villatillidie95 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 we do have a good start to the season, fixture wise, so we will need to win the first 2 games really, i wouldnt be happy with less than 6 points against Bournemouth and Everton. Rennes are a good test and just hope we grow further into the game, maybe bring on Sanson at some point for some more composure in the middle of the park and get Ings/Archer on as we will need to take the chances when they arrive to win this game, they are good and not ceding many opportunities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Our midfield still looks a player short, even with 1 up top. Worrying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be silly. Our players are good enough to finish in the top 4 easily. The problem is that we have a clueless manager who sends them out on the pitch and tells them not to pass to each other. Smith did the same thing too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
