A reasonably unrelated clip but it popped up on my timeline, and Frank talking about the fact that taking shots, taking chances, to get the crowd up and engaged, struck me as at the core of what we're talking about when it comes to generating atmosphere.
No idea mate You would think Walter and his coaches will go over and analyse what went wrong If daws has any input surely he’ll speak up Taking off the midfield three must mean he saw us not dealing with the situation ??
The players made poor decisions after a complete shift in mentality, the speed of play and thought dropped. They absolutely have the ability to beat that type of press and have before. Wether or not Tim can install the confidence needed to do it consistently remains to be seen.
But we don’t use the midfield, if we are going to bypass them then he may aswell put you, me and syd in there. There was a stat that fletch mentioned on the podcast our highest midfielders for either passing or touches (I forget which) are palmer and Simon’s in 81st and 85th position. Also pandur has out passed them both
We also look slicker and less nervy with the ball at the back. Far more assurance, possibly since Hughes came in.
