On the plus side, thats 27 goals in 7 games, matches are very entertaining in a betting on goals sort of way when we play.
If we play 4-4-2 Bowen and Grosicki just don't come back so our fullbacks are exposed and there's no centre midfield pushing on ...We need to play 3-5-2. But problem is it dosent suit Grosicki or Bowen very controversial but I would drop both or play Bowen as one of the two uptop play 3 at the back two holding midfield players then either Toral or Evandro when fit linking with the two upfront
We had 8 players in the box when they scored their winner, with nobody picking him up. Too many half-arsed efforts.
Fancy Dan Chelsea youngsters with no experience in this league or seasoned warriors used to digging in? Which would you prefer? Winter is coming.
So the slutsy is like a brother to Abramovic thing got us the pick of the Chelsea loan players, we took almost the complete back line and they are crap. Is that a fair summary?
I'd say that's more of a coaching thing john. Both goals from a player getting skinned out wide. Where was the cover? This is down to formation and players not knowing their jobs. That's down to the coach. I said in the OP I would drop hector, I wish slut had.
I think 3 at the back was the way to go after the 5-0, but we still have yet to settle on a successful and winning formation. The players need time to gel but unfortunately we can't afford many more losses at this stage of the season if we even want to contemplate a top-half finish. Irvine needs to start on Saturday alongside Meyler in the holding midfield positions, with Bowen and Grosicki flanking Campbell or Dicko up top. Toral probably the third in midfield though I haven't been convinced by him yet. Defence just about picks itself, although if Hector is showing signs of a loss of confidence maybe bring Tomori in to partner Dawson, although chopping and changing too much would be dangerous.
Better players sat in the stands injured on long term injuries. Loans, freebies and players (Irvine aside) not wanted by other clubs. A manager who is isolated without his own staff. Tactically getting it wrong twice in 6 days is either naive a ****ing stupid. And constantly changing the ****ing team. Clark had done nothing wrong and Larsson is ****ing terrible. Also Dicko is not a lone striker. Sick of it to be honest.
