Playing a back 3 against a team like Arsenal is fine, but it just invites pressure on to us against teams we should be competing more with
It's incredibly unfortunate that we have two excellent RBs both injured. But to be fair, we do have a third RB (who is arguably better than a lot of teams second RB). It's just that he's bizarrely been left on the bench.
Sigh, you can't say they don't deserve it or it hasn't been coming for the entire ****ing half. Getting completely dominated by an average side again, you love to see it...
Yep, and Ralph stands there for 38 mins doing nothing about it. Absolutely appalling and why I think we are waiting for the World Cup break to part ways.
See my earlier post about gaining points from losing positions. Palace have clearly blown their chances by going ahead...
It's like we have no midfield. I agree with others about 3 at the back. It's fine when you're direct and have the movement or aerial dominance to make it work, but we don't have either. We try to play out, but there just aren't enough bodies available to pass to and our guys done have the movement of KDB etc. It means there are no options to play how we want to play and with the lack of quality we are displaying, they need options!
This had to be tweaked when it was clear it wasn’t working, which was pretty bloody early. There were no positive signs at all and we were getting done across the whole pitch.
