It's a concern. Not feeling super excited about Cam right now, but I don't see the aggression from the midfield, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Just now, bannedfromHandV said: Subdued all round, but disjointed, Archer struggling to get into the game, needs to be a bit more proactive with his runs in behind. I think the weather and pitch state is partially responsible. Also note, this is an experimental side in some aspects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is looking quite lightweight so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Archer can't really be blamed he's getting no service, our midfield and Buendia needs to get a hold of the ball and bring likes of Philogene and Archer into the game more in final third. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wezbid Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I've just realised why I stopped being in the match threads, I spend so much time reading and typing that I'm not actually paying attention to what's happening. I need to exit! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Cairney best midfielder on the pitch atm, we need to seize back control of the game and start creating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your right. I really do. But it's not THAT hot. Maybe for England, but it's 25 or so. Everyone seems jet lagged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Also Fulham aren't pressing so we can't just run through them. As I'm typing that Kamara plays a beautiful ball to Archer who then wins a pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Passing out of the back has been poor. No idea why Carlos is the one trying to force all these passes forward when it’s the best part of Pau’s game. Mings/Konsa would normally recycle until they see an opening, but it looks like the defense out there doesn’t look confident enough to do that yet.

OutByEaster? Posted July 27, 2023 Moderator Share Posted July 27, 2023 Three things aren't working - we miss Doug's ability to turn us around and get us moving forward and we're struggling to get out centrally - we're limited on the right where Konsa looks uncomfortable and we can't go direct because Archer is outmatched up top. Interesting to see how Emery will adjust it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
