Either arse out fall over or pass back to the real skipper. Or give away a foul. He was soooo good in the Championship, but he's just not at the level we need. He's not scored for 9 months either.

On paper you’d probably only take 2/3 of their players in our 11. I really struggle to see what our gameplan is and it’s been like this for quite some time. Indeed. Unfortunately we have been weaker than the sum of our parts for about 12 years now, possibly now more than ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackHaakon Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I don't see what we are trying to do. But I guess we don't look absolutely crap. Very fragile though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because they have a manager who's been slowly honing his craft and has a clear identity as a result. He's had just 3 more months with his team.

foreveryoung Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 One of the great wonders of the world, what Gerrard saw in McGinn to make him captain. He shouldn't really be a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the newly promoted sides look a hundred times more composed than us, they have a purpose, a direction, systems of play etc. We will struggle massively along with Everton and Southampton IMO. theoretically yes, but are you really worried about this on the third round? really?

The problem is Gerrards plan involves everything through Digne and Cash and crossing to our midgets, entirely bypassing the midfield and them having to cover leaving the last third empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
