Popular Post Zoo 2.0 Posted January 9, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 There's always a risk in football that you get sucked into playing the opposition's game as opposed to playing your own - that's what's happening here. Rather than taking an extra touch, moving the ball around at our own pace and managing the game we're being sucked into the hit and hope / 90mph football that Rotherham want to play (and as a result are second best). We just need to knock the game back down to first gear, retain possession and move the ball around - let the ball do the running for us. We need to do everything we can to play the Premier League way, as opposed to being sucked into lower league football.

Btay Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 I think Godfrey has had a bit of a mare so far. Really like him but he’s not been convincing at all. Expect Caro to give them a proper dressing down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olsen has been superb to he honest, he really has kept us in this - if it wasn't for us scoring the goal and being ahead I'd be worried actually. As it happens Carlo just needs to rocket at half-time and send out a team with a better mentality second half, as luckily Rotherham haven't put us to bed. Hopefully James can get more into the game second half too, bit anonymous so far. Bailey and Shukes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 With a midfield 3 of James, Gomes and Davies, we’ve not got a very good mix - we should dominate Rotherham but we’re missing what Allan or Doucoure brings which allows us to control and dictate play. For them, I’ve been impressed with the right-back Olosunde - been very lively. Just googled him and he’s a young American lad who was at Man U.

Zoo 2.0 Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Rotherham completed 82% of their passes that half, something we need to reduce in the second. Win the first (and second ball) to kill any momentum going forward, a team like this shouldn't be able to complete so much play at our home ground. Agreed about the back four too @Bailey, we're crying out for a leader mate - expect Keane to step up tbh. Not to turn this into an Olsen/Pickford debate, but this is one of the latters strengths IMO, Jordan always looks to be very vocal and very demanding of his back four.

Wiggytop Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Missed the first 14 minutes, and from what I’ve seen since then it’s been awful, poor playing out of the back, not winning knock downs, misplaced passing. Only decent bit was when we slowed down for Tosuns second chance, need to play our own game with more assurance. Keane seems to be off the pace, Coleman keeps over running the ball and in to trouble, surely we will be better in 2nd half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take every other condition over a bright, dipping sun. Hopefully with the sides switched we can get back on top! No changes it seems from Carlo, just a stern teamtalk perhaps... @markjazzbassist I'd take anyone scoring next !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
