I think everyone knows Ange won’t be backed so not many are using ‘if he is backed’ as some kind of solace for the summer. we will sell a leg and buy an arm that’s how we roll still disabled
I was joking about Tony Pulis, but I don't understand why we can't improve our set-pieces. Being well drilled and organised is essential to overcoming our weakness to low blocks. If teams can't score on theirs and are scared of conceding on ours, then their plan dies. Transfers will be a massive factor in the success or failure of Postecoglou's tenure. Cutting out easily rectified problems will be another big issue. It's still early days, but our opponents see an exploit in our game and they're using it.
Similarly when you see opponents push high up the pitch for goal kicks to pressure Vic into playing it long instead of passing out of the back Yet another reason to look at a No6, because if we had someone who drops back between the CBs to receive the ball like Rodri does for the Mansourites then teams would have to either overcommit to marking three players or ease off as they would be 2 on 3
