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.
