Neither do I, but what I outlined there is absolute basics about creating angles for a team mate with the ball, especially one who is under pressure. I would expect u16s of some sort of ability to be doing that without really thinking let alone a PL team. Something is seriously wrong within the team, and it is not solely the management. The players are just going through the motions and, whilst it is the managers job to motivate them and get them "up for it", there should also be a certain level of pride and professionalism coming from professional footballers. They aren't doing the basics right or working hard for each other too often, and that comes down to them.

Spot on, Hoedt is pony but the lack of effort to help him was poor.
Another thing, however minor - Obafemi got a bit of abuse from their players, and only Redmond ran over to assist him. Screams of poor team spirit really. They certainly aren’t fighting for each other.

There was no real angle since the ball was pinned in the corner. The other defenders can't leave a player open in the box to go and try to receive a ****ty pass in a terrible area of the pitch where even if the pass gets to them they'd likely be under pressure with no outlet and just boot it into row Z anyway.

I like entertaining football as much as anyone, but row Z is sometimes the best option. No fan ever scored a valid goal.
