I also don’t get his and the players mentality.
Son’s interview post Leicester defeat included similar words to ‘being cautious because Leicester are a very dangerous team’.
Like seriously? every team has some form of threat, you just manage this threat whilst also imposing yourselves on the opposition. There’s ‘managing the game’ and then there’s our approach of ‘shit the bed, rinse and repeat’.
All’ sides in the EPL and in Europe will look at our attack and rightfully shit themselves as Son, Kane and Kulusevski should be putting the fear of God into the opposition with Danjuma and Richarlison also offering a threat from the bench.
Yet for some stupid reason our negative tactics renders our front 3 as pretty much passengers. They’re easy to mark and keep subdued.
On the ‘odd’ occasion we’ve actually played on the front foot this season we’ve created chances for fun, scored actual goals and won games.
With the exception of Kane none of our other attacking players can perform with their back to goal so why the hell do we keep setting up this way?
