He shaped to shoot,who didn't see that coming on this thread? WTF can McCann do about that?Nice finish but **** defending, poor set up. All our players sucked into goal area leaving a couple of theirs totally unmarked on edge of box to do that. Do poor. McCann out
I just wish we’d have played that weakened team from the other week.I'd just play our best team. It'd be mental to have loads of good players on the bench, and have a backup centre back starting just so that we can play the magic formation.
What can he do? Maybe make sure someone is near the free men on the edge of the box? Just a thought.He shaped to shoot,who didn't see that coming on this thread? WTF can McCann do about that?
Team selection was absolutely questionable today,I felt we left better on the bench,that's McCanns department..Absolutely!! But,the 11 he puts on the pitch need to sharpen up!!!
And no,I'm not a junkie....I'm also not a tactical genius who babbles on about 'double ****ing pivots' either!!
Absolutely we checked out how they played. GM said he would pick a team suitable to win this game. Presumably that's why we started with the front 3 we started with.So did we check out how they play? Were they likely to play physical - if so why not Eaves and Emanuel to win balls in our box and hopefully theirs with their height? As I said before Coyle and Elder are busy but not strong enough - always likely to be dispossessed at this level
Are you telling me that we've got 10 outfield players who can't see a shot coming in and block it? I played a bit in my youth and you don't need a coach to instruct you to block that shot!!What can he do? Maybe make sure someone is near the free men on the edge of the box? Just a thought.
Im not talking about blocking a shot. I'm talking how they set up to defend a corner (twice)Are you telling me that we've got 10 outfield players who can't see a shot coming in and block it? I played a bit in my youth and you don't need a coach to instruct you to block that shot!!
Embarrassing, what are the coaches doing in the trading sessions?
But I was talking about blocking a shot and never mentioned a corner?? Why respond to it then shift the goalposts when you're wrong?Im not talking about blocking a shot. I'm talking how they set up to defend a corner
I do agree Rick I did say the same no one came out to block itAre you telling me that we've got 10 outfield players who can't see a shot coming in and block it? I played a bit in my youth and you don't need a coach to instruct you to block that shot!!
It was you who responded to me in the first place!But I was talking about blocking a shot and never mentioned a corner?? Why respond to it then shift the goalposts when you're wrong?
