I think our counter attacks on their day were a result of a well drilled machine Unfortunately a few of the cogs have changed and it will always take time It ain’t pretty atm but just need to get those points Finesse later when we have our squad back Personally all the talk of records etc I think guarantees the loss here but will see Probs a draw
The problem is in midfield. Thiago will fix this so the sooner he’s back the better. I worry about carrying too many injury prone players these days....I hope Thiago isn’t another one.
I get that, but we didn't have Thiago the last couple years and we were ****ing brilliant. We seem to lack effort and desire.
no, we’ve lacked creativity in the middle for some time haven’t we? However, without VvD, we have to play differently in a lot of ways. So many of our attacks started with a 30+ yard ball from VvD to one of the full backs....and our midfield could play 10 yards forward, knowing that his pace and aerial ability would cover them. We’re a completely different team without him...and my point was that Thiago will improve that
