    We are making Norwich look like prime barca. 22 mins, total domination and multiple shots at goal.

    Yep getting in behind the midfield so easily


    I’m still confident we’ll wake up I was expecting these to start faster, however, sloppy mistakes I cannot excuse

    Look at that attack before the offside and tell me where both Rigg and Browne were if Browne is playing the ‘10’ as you say

    I get it. But given we surrender possession most games it's where he is playing the majority of the time. It's just not logical or effective.

    My 50 pence so far

    We’re playing man for man. McLean is inverting from full back dragging aleksic inside, slimane is dropping deeper dragging Hume creating the space for sainz down our right. RLB needs to make a change and go zonal otherwise we’ll get punished there

    Norwich will tire themselves out, their fans will get frustrated, and then ELF and Isidor come on second half and open them up

    we need a midfield dynamo, le fee, to connect it all together

    the team he’s put together here is all about shape and patrolling space

    it is not built to play possession football, it’s to be compact and note jump out of shape. Goal is to nick it back and go forward with minimal passes.

    a lot of this is instructional

    Yep. But as said we’re getting dragged into different zones and creating space, needs changing

    Glad someone said it. We look like a newly promoted team **** scared to do anything and just defend space.

    My stream keeps on freezing. I’ll follow it on here now. Probably a good thing.
