You just know that there isn't going to be one outstanding side. So what do we do? Play like ****.

Newcastle are way off it mate.. I'm trying to establish anything our side is particularly good at and I can't think of anything.

Without Woltemade I think we'd be in serious trouble.. He's actually scoring regularly and not even getting much service.

I think were badly missing our fullbacks.
Add in Joelinton not in form and our wingers achieving little, we need to get through this period without too much damage.

It'll change over the next month or so. We might play a blinder on Tuesday with Elanga and Joelinton dropped.

So all we need is our wingers to find form, our full backs to get fit and our 2nd striker to kick a ball. Simples!

Changing away from this tedious formation/attacking style that we have had for 3 seasons on the trot would help

teams can read us like an open book

Lifted from the BBC. Seems the Rat hasn’t started too well at the Victims.

Issue we have is that teams know how we play and know we struggle against a low block counter attack.

This happens to every club which has a long term manager, it's up to the coaches to change the style a bit to keep opponents guessing.

Been beaten to death at this point, but the best example was obviously Ferguson. Even if he himself couldn't think of something new, he hired assistant coaches who came with new insights.

We have had the same coaching team now for a bit like.
