Lol, yeah was being more hypothetical than thinking of actual players. Whatever BR has employed seems to have worked with some individual players. Both Henderson, Johnson and Enrique have improved or regained form as the season has gone on. Reina looked more positive today than I've seen him in a while. Allen has been asked too much too soon. A bit like Henderson under KD. Hopefully BR takes note before he ruins him. Arguably the same could be said for Sterling and as strong and athletic as Wisdom is I think he still looks very wet behind the ears at times. Now that we have injured players back such as Borini and Lucas and Kelly isn't far off is he, there should be some respite for these young ones. What I'm concerned about is this lack of tactical awareness as a team, our FB's rush ahead & are slow to return, our Wide attackers rarely drop back to support the midfield or defence. This would all be ok if we were playing a high pressing game but either we aren't or our forwards & AM are so bad at it it looks like we aren't. Either way its leaving our DM & CB's dreadfully exposed. We've all been saying Lucas looks slow returning to fitness & how bad Allen is but I also wonder how much of it is them being left high & dry at times. Same with the CB's they look tense constantly because they're an opposition pass away from being broken the entire game. I can only hope that by the end of this season the players learn the when's. Still think we need a defensive coach as we are weak at set pieces too.
Often makes me wonder if professionals take the piss out of each other like Sunday League players do? I mean, if you was to miss a few chances in a game you'd get stick for weeks and forever be tagged as someone that can't shoot, not exactly great for confidence
Yes I agree we need a defensive coach to iron out our problems. Agger is good but does get found out by good movement. Skirts is a confidence player. If he is, or we are, having a bad run he can look all over the shot. When he's happy he's excellent. We could do with a coach to try and help with that side of things. Could maybe do with one of those Glen Hoddle nutters too! Johnson and Jose are good going forward but not great at the back. Thats why its so important for us to take our chances so they can then concentrate on defending. With them both there the opposition will get chances from the wings. Sterling needs a period on the bench to stop him getting burned out, and keep that hunger. Lucas needs games, but again, work him in. I agree Wisdom can be naive - but he's got time and looks a very good prospect. Looking forward to Kelly coming back - really rate him. Downing needs a permanent rest on the sidelines. But we must buy first.
That is a good shout, but you have to ask what Pascoe, Marsh & Rodgers are doing between them?? Surely one of them should be a defensive expert or working on the defensive part of the game? We seem to absolutely have no idea what we are doing when we don't have the ball. Its an absolute mess and something Rodgers will have to sort out if he wants to see us into the top 4/champions league and beyond.
But its true. Keep hold of possession and you wont have to defend. But you score either or you'll give the ball away.
I'm not certain but I'm sure I saw or heard something earlier in the season. May have even been on the documentary.
I think he got confused with the other envelope trick that bacon nose uses.....the brown paper envelope for referees trick
