Shukes 4,231 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 5 players forward in our third in that attack. Playing a high line with 3 people generally in the half way line. Going to be good for us as it's leaving big open spaces for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Btay 1,735 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Better that. Started from Keane driving on which we need as they have the extra man in midfield Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nyblue23 620 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Was just about to comment how refreshing it is to see a forward being the ball under control. Seems to be a good outlet for us. Not saying he's having a howler, but nothing is really coming off and he's had a few poor giveaways and a couple slips. That stepover he just did gets me excited, though. Intelligent and aware footballing. Something we've lacked up front for a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shukes 4,231 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 That's better. Good quick passes. Would have preferred Rooney to drill it though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hafnia 6,378 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Some of the one touch passing up front has me a bit happy.... very promising. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Btay 1,735 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Some of the one touch passing up front has me a bit happy.... very promising. You can see what they are trying and when they click it's near impossible to defend against, even with the bus parked. That third man run that klassen makes will get goals as well.

Shukes 4,231 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 That's what frustrates me. They attack and only had one player left in their half, we get the ball and instead of getting it up there fast, we play it around at the back and wait for them to get back. We should be taking advantage while they are attacking and use it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Btay 1,735 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 It's alright this.... they are tricky annoying bastards who are very very organised and hardworking. They would be a good game in a friendly and I'd have no issue with us playing them again next year at this stage. Keeping us honest here Quote Link to post Share on other sites

badaids 552 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Not a good signal where I am so can only see patches of play, in most of which we are complete shit. We are just being shut out and neutered by a very well organised and hard working TEAM. We look bereft of ideas and it's only 2nd game of the season. Sorry to be such a cynic.

Aidan 2,225 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Gana is a weak link for me not sure he knows what's expected of him. He's meant to be pressing a bit higher up i think but we're struggling doing an average job at pressing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shukes 4,231 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Come on guys, im depending on your commentry here We've only really started the last ten minutes mate. They have surprised us a bit and had a few good chances. They are running their butts off and working very hard. Very organised as well. Attacking in numbers but getting back behind the ball as soon as they lose possession. Impressed with Sandros positive play. Davies is... well as usual, one of our best. Schneiderlin seems very pedestrian. Rooney is Lukaku in disguise. Klaasen is dependable but that's about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zoo 742 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Proper shite that, we look so lost going forward. To be fair Sandro, Rooney and Klaassen are playing well but there's been no key chances to write home about just yet, the best chances (yet again) have fallen for Rozemberok. Is it just me or has there been about twelve slips in that first half? Seems like this lot have had the sprinkles on since the first leg began. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
