Wanyama is back. He's had 5 minutes so I expect a MotM performance next time
It's absolutely intentional, and it's been the case from the first season. In a back four it is the responsibility of the CM and the CBs to cover for the fullbacks when they have moved into transition, not for them to be super human and be in the right position offensively and defensively at all times...
For me that always one of the most annoying things that some fans do. There is always going to be space behind our fullbacks until we change manager!! Poch sees it as a risk worth taking and it's frankly largely worked for us the last however many seasons
.
Nope. its because we started to lose quite a lot of games trying to play 3 at the back. Last season with three at the back our record was
5 wins 2 draws 4 losses
pretty terrible. With four at the back we lost only 3.
It didn't work last season, we looked too flat and struggled to play through midfield. It's been mostly the same in this season. I dreaded it when we started with three today, and in the first half the same pattern as is common emerged, but we tinkered at half time and it worked.
It did work in the past, when we finished second, and opposition teams weren't used to playing against it, but for whatever reason it isn't working for us so well anymore. Nor is it for other clubs, which is why most teams that transitioned to a back three 2 seasons ago have quickly transitioned back out of it.
It can be a decent option but I think with SAKE being such a good front 4 a 4-2-3-1 or variations of it probably work best for us.
When he reemerges in 2 months after another mystery lay off...Wanyama is back. He's had 5 minutes so I expect a MotM performance next time
Hope for your sake he cannot influence your salary adjustment
Approx 40 m if we get through . Plus our share of the British pool ,which will go up if Man U go out, poss pool out also. We will prob clear 70 m minimum this season
Dortmunds biggest mistake was not getting a back up striker to alcacer. Big ask for gotze to do anything against our back 3. They had a couple of moments in the first half but 2nd half we bossed them.
The tie is over, even if they have all their stars back because they won't keep us from scoring an away goal.
Real Madrid, Manu, Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal, Borussia, Liverpool are all clubs we have beaten in recent times and then been told that the reason was that they were below par or having a bad day.Just seeing the usual Dortmund were below par etc. They were below par, simply because we made them that way in the second half. We stepped it up and forced them back down both flanks.
Watch it mate, the yanks on here will attack you for that...he's their messiah.
Inter in Europa league 2013For me, a 3-0 lead with a second leg still to come is still game on... Especially seeing as im nervous when we are 3-0 up in games with 5 minutes left... Honestly i fucking am ever since we lost 4-3 to city and they had 10 men, thats scarred me for life.
