First half v Utd, 60+ minutes v Arsenal, City. I can't explain why we stepped up against Utd in the second half, being at home probably helped?

Newty82 Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 With our midfield, you just know that if any of our defenders have an off game, we are in trouble. Getting mauled in midfield, with Sidibe being Sidibe. Hard to get anything out if these games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has now, but only to fuck up a simple enough ball which should have been on a plate for Kean. Gomes should have been off, at last Sidibe with something positive. Yet again though, Holgate miles off Giroud. Worst display for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memmaclub2 Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 I can honestly say this is the worst I have seen us play. The players look like they don't give a shit. I would expect fines for every single one of them. I think there is a few reality checks to be had: Tom Davies is not a prem player and won't be there has been no progress in 3-4 years. Gomes is not as good as we think he is Glyfi needs to drop down a level he is not the player he was and the decline has been too quick. Sidebi should not be signed. We need to let Davies Gylfi Morgan Keane walcott all go We need a player who can get the ball back, We need a right back we need at least 1 first team CB. IF we stay with 442 we need two wingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Basically Kean and Gordon have been brought on to defend. Nothing has been done to try and change the pattern of play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Richarlison the only outfield player who can hold his head up after this IMO. Gwlad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memmaclub2 Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 IN my opinion we will not see the best of a Carlo team until a year or twos time. Next season for me is transition. We need to move out 4-6 high wage players and replace them with quality. I am not sure there is 7 first team players in that squad. I would say the stikers are the only ones who don't have question marks. Gomes for me needs someone next to him who does a shit load of running.

Btay Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 You know if Marco has set us up like this and this happened he would have been slaughtered. Absolutely no passion. This 4-4-2 with Gylfi wide is baffling, he offers absolutely nothing. If we play like this in the derby it will be a cricket score. So many players that are going through the motions.

Bailey Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Fuck off Holgate. Great attitude, trying to put one on a young lad. Didn't lay a glove on Giroud but now tries that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaidharper Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Siggy spent another game pointing at other players in an attempt to not receive a pass. A midfielder who doesn’t want the ball. And our captain to boot. Wiggytop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 The one positive is that this game will bring everyone back down to earth. We are a mile off a top 4 side and we have very little top 6 players let alone any higher. On this seasons form we have probably only Richarlison, Pickford and maybe Gomes as those types of player. The problem with the two outfield players is that one needs to play in a 3 man midfield and the other is best as a 2 man attack. The rest have their moments but there isn't enough about them to make them consistently top class performers. Playing that rabble with just two in midfield baffles me though, especially if you aren't playing to the strengths of the front two. Why have two battering rams up front who thrive on playing aggressively and then try and play through midfield when you are outnumbered against better players. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Wiggytop Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Woeful performance throughout except Pickford, absolutely no desire to win the ball never mind the game, next Monday is looking scary after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Real tough run of fixtures and we get to see where we are - and it's not where we want to be! Redshite next. Need to be a shit tonne better than this to even get a sniff. Be nice to just ensure they don't win it at our place, so to speak. Just hope for a big midfield overhaul this summer. I mean, like, 90% of funds ploughed into midfield!!! Bailey and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 1 hour ago, Hafnia said: Quite frankly we haven't got a midfield. That's where we are losing it. How many times must it be said? Games are ultimately won and lost in midfield. We have a shockingly poor midfield right now. If we could fix that, we'd be a transformed team.
