I wouldn’t care but we played the exact same formation and most of the same players the last time we played at home against Chelsea.
I watched him really close today mate. The only thing he's trying to do is look busy. He will close a player down to within about 10 foot then stop dead, he doesn't challenge them, he doesn't jockey them, he doesn't bother them them. When he gets the ball if a player starts to press him he gets rid of the ball regardless of if there is a player to pas to or not. His arse has gone. He's scared to get hurt and the rest of the team (as **** as they are) are having to carry him. We don't have the luxury of carrying players. He needs shipped out.
What a load of bollocks Jones. So what, you waited to see for tactical reasons….. and then made the exact same sub you where going to anyways. Lol. This is like listening to Bruce all over again. Jones said: "I seen him (Tuchel) put two midfield players on. "I'd prepared my head for him playing 5-3-2. "And I wanted to see what he did before making the substitutions. Because once you've made the subs you haven't got that flexibility. "So it was as simple as that really. And once I saw what shape he played, I thought OK let's keep it the same and get the boys on the pitch. "But at that point, you have to hold out, the momentum is coming but it's too late you are 1-0 down."
I don’t think he was ever that good mate. I’ve said it for a long time that he looked nervous every game. Championship level is his level mind. Our midfield is terrible so that doesn’t help him either. WTF has happened to Willock though this season.
He has an injured toe that has been requiring injections every game. However and this is going down the Longstaff route. Take away Willocks goals last season and his link up play with ASM whilst he was out on the left - was he actually that good? Or did his goals gloss everything over?
If that’s the case don’t play him. Jones is making the same mistakes as bruce. But yes I did say about his all round game play but his out attribute last season was the bursting runs and getting on the end of things: but we are not even doing that anymore. That is creating anything at all. Last 3 games we have had 4 shots on target.
Jones is not the manager so I'm not that bothered about tactical mistakes against the best team in Europe. I certainly wouldnt cry a river about it
If Martinez is the new manager you may well cry a river. The tactics/formation are the same as Belgium
The mackem slayer was in fine form yesterday pre match. Nee hat like. I think him and the indian fare in the hospitality were the only good things about the match yesterday. Food was delicious but not so popular when the old boys in front started trumping in the second half. Bah some proper silent but deadly action.
Also, Darlow is ****e. Makes a mockery of how Bruce treat Woodman after one bad game. I think the **** has only had one decent game. He is just so over excited the whole time. Its like watching someone who has snorted about 5 hollywoods in the toilet before the game. I thought Dubravka was back training? Get him in ASAP and if he isn't fit put Woodman back in. Darlow is a complete liability. What was all that ****e with Havertz too. Fair enough its not very sporting but just follow through and kick the **** in the face if he's annoying you. Don't start crying to the ref like a little bitch. The ref was a **** yesterday. I don't like whinging about refs but he gave us **** all. Chelsea are very good. ****s.
