What possible tactic could he have told Bennett to play at that stage, 'go and stand in the six yard box with the other 10 players', its madness. Any loose brain knows that if you surrender attack and midfield, you give the opposition the advantage and they attack en-mass. Thats 3 games he's done that now and he hasn't learned a thing!!
For the first 30 minutes or so we used the wrong tactics and were kept in the game by McGoven. We then changed tactics got back in the game and by the second half were 3 - 1 up and looking comfortable. Another change of tactics and a couple of substitutions and we steadily progress from being comfortable to rat sh*t. So 3 different tactics used, 2 of which were not just a bit off, but way off the mark and when we do find a tactic that works and gets us from 1 nil down to 3 - 1 up we change it. Tell me if AN isn't responsible for the tactics who is, because we need to get rid of them.
He seems to have a downer on Bennett for some reason. Bennett is miles better than Bassong, him and Klose should be our centre back pairing.
And floggings will continue until moral improves, there's nothing like being stubbon. We don't need reinforcements we need to sort out the heart of our defence and appoint a captain that can galvanise those around him. AN won't see it because he doesn't want to see it, because I suspect he knows that once he accepts the problem is at the heart of our defence he will have have to make a num,ber of unpopular decisions that he doesn't want to make.
At least someone was happy last night I think the fact someone, anyone would think to put this bet on says it all for how bad our defense is! Bah!
They surely are: Haggis, Lorne Sausage, Raw Beef Ham, Glenlivet, Grouse Pate, Scotch Broth , etc, etc ...........
Bassong had all the awareness of a square sausage and the mobitity of a deep-fried Mars bar for that second goal
That is being grossly unfair Cromer ......................................................................... to both square sausage and a deep-fried Mars bar
Not a great deal of love for AN or big Seb on here this morning. Must feel great for Whittaker and Naismith to feel they've had a reprieve
Explain what and where Bassongs best position is then???? I would suggest Left behind in the dressing room!!! Martin has played in every position in the back 4.....?????
I know Jerome's post match interview has been posted, here's AN's verdict. (Sorry if it's already been uploaded )
Good honest assessment. For me it was the players, not AN. They had to defend the box for 2 minutes and they didn't. Pretty sure we'll see a new CB and new striker in January, but Jerome did well IMO, and we still have yet to see what Oliveira will provide.
