Need to change something at half time. I would leave Tufan for 10 mins, if he can reset and sort his passing he will be useful. Elder not working in the LB/CM role and Coyle not managing to play the Christie role very well. Need to start playing it in to Tufan,pelkas and slater earlier, we over play and then end up giving Oscar difficult balls to deal with and just doesn't stick at all.
We just look slow and Cov have sussed our tactic of playing out from the back so they press us every chance they get. Our injury record is nothing short of abysmal. Another muscle injury. Can’t be just the players being injury-prone. We’re not doing something right in terms of training and conditioning.
This is simple to me. Keep passing around the back and make no changes - lose the game. Bring on attacking players like Sayyadmanesh and go for it and the tide will likely turn. At the moment we’re making them look like Brazil.
We’re really struggling to keep possession, but have stayed in the game. Hopefully a few tweaks at half time will see us get more of the ball and then hopefully capitalise! Job done.
He says he's not for changing. The trainee's track record speaks for itself. If he wants to overtrain the players, so be it. It's really good to watch though.
A lot of teams look pretty good against us (at least top half of the table teams), giving the ball away does that. Sayyadmanesh is quick but he's also raw and often doesn't have end product like a few others.
