This is because we are losing in midfield and Shelvey’s deep threat keeps us pinned back. If you just boot random longballs of course your striker is isolated. I don’t care if we go 4-4-2, but the answer in this case is getting more out of midfield mix, not another man up.
We need Boufal in this match (and every match). I'm not the biggest fan, but at least he's never afraid to attempt to produce something. No one other is willing to take responsability and do something, they just pass it to someone else
Well this has been terrible so far. Summed up by that passage of play just then with Hoedt over hitting it for a throw in
****s sake this is abysmal. We're playing about at the back like we're in mid table with nothing to play for. And then we boot it straight out of play.
We would get more out of the midfield if they weren't all flat CMs or out and out wingers. We need a proper 10...
We are now. Could easily be 4 or 5 down. It’s remarkable how we keep playing same, ineffective way and yet nobody at the club seems that concerned.
