Keith B Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Since our first minute goal, we've not been very good. Sort of like the entire preseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsaint08 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) Second proper attack on goal in the entire game... and seems 80% of our game was backpass... Edited August 6, 2017 by xsaint08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunlopp9987 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 I still think he's shit, but Martina has been a bright spot attacking down the left since he's come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 It was proper bizarre that when we had players willing to run at Sevilla with pace and purpose we all of a sudden looked a much better, and more dangerous team. I was so surprised when that happened. I'm still in shock now that that's what it brought about. Matt and rubecula 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsaint08 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 I'm not fully convinced by me koeman.... Have to agree a little at least for i have never seen Koeman instill the fighting spirit or winning mentality in the team when the wind is against us... Character building is needed....

nutmegwolf203 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 The players that ended the match played with more fluidity. Add in Sandro and we'd look great. Schneiderlin looks off the pace and there was no ball retention in the first half. Davies looked a bit lost too. Unfortunately Rooney and his sporadic form can't be accommodated if there's no rhythm in the team. I was encouraged by the last half hour-20 mins; Lookman and Gueye played well when they came on. We have a lot of new players so I'm not going to panic yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elston Gunnn Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 On other threads several of you have said we should not be playing 2 DCMs against Stoke. I agree, so for me that leaves Schneiderlin or probably Gana on the bench. I think Koeman should pair Davies with either Schneiderlin or Gana for the Stoke match, as Davies has enough energy to both get forward and help the (single) DCM when Stoke "attack." Klassen did not look good today. He has to help with precise passing, but today he gave rhe ball away too often. I guess there's some talk of Lookman going out on loan, but he can help off the bench, and starting some. I prefer Jagielka paired with Keane.

Bailey Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 After that game I'm not sure what's best. Don't forget this is 2 games in 2 days for Sevilla so we should have been stronger at the end. Maybe things will click as thr season progresses but at the moment the playersame we have brought in offensively are making no difference to the ones from last season. I think it's a tactical/philosophy thing more than a player thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
