MWARLEY2 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 This is the same as Everton. Our game is based on swift transitions. When it isnt we are so slow and ponderous. McGinn wasnt wrong when he said we can be boring at times. Nothing has gone wrong. We just haven't done anything right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I just don’t get it. We are we sooooo slow at moving, passing, attacking, running, pressing. Same as Everton and Legia. Is it just because we can’t play without Luiz, Kamara and Watkins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I’m not a fan of starting a weaker side. I’d much prefer starting full strength and then taking players off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been fine, but thinking he's anywhere near as dynamic as Moreno just ain't true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HKP90 Posted October 5, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2023 I can't quite reconcile with those saying we were shite. We've not been terrible, just lacking attacking ideas, Zani aside. Aside from the first 10 mins they've not really threatened us at all. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Not easy out there, they’ve come to defend. We need a bit more speed and urgency. I’d be tempted to take off Langlet for Pau, Doug or even Watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Absolute shit. Most of the team look like they're out for a kick about with mates. Digne, Zaniolo and maybe Duran look like the only ones who care. Tielemans can't run, can't tackle and has repeatedly made shocking passes straight to the opposition. Sub him at HT and make that the last time he ever plays for us. He's done as a footballer. And a shocker for the second european game in a row from our captain. Only thing he's done of note is a pathetic dive which rightly got him booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 They’re going to fancy themselves to take at least a point home tonight. We’re really slow at moving the ball, missing the metronomic passing of Dougie and penetration of Diaby. I’d like to see Cash on second half to open up the right side and work with Zaniolo (who needs to stop shaking his head and get more positive, he’s played well this half). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
