Our back four is abysmal. All of them so uncomfortable on the ball. That’s where are problems are stemming from today imo. Dele has been awful too.
That may be so, but what's the excuse going forward then?
Our preparation going into games and how we conduct ourselves pre match leaves a lot to desired - this is more than a trend, it's endemic with this squad and management.
Seems like every team we play in the league suddenly appears to have the best defence when playing us...surprise surprise
I think Alli is having a decent game, one or two stray passes aside. He's trying to get past players which is a sign of the mojo coming back. He's tracking back and doing the dirty work too. Nothing outstanding but OK nonetheless.Alli is doing nothing, and continuing to try and play through the middle is a waste of time with sheffield packing the centre. The best attacking moments we've had have been with son in wide areas. Get on another wide player, whether you want it to be sessegnon or Moura doesn't really matter.
Awful half, Dier is one foul away from us being down to ten men so I think needs to be subbed. Dele’s been woeful, I’d drag him off for either Winks (to give us more of a foothold) or Sess (to pose a greater threat down the left).
What Poch will do is probably, well, nothing, and we’ll continue to be shit until the hour mark where Dier picks up another booking. I don’t understand how we’re so incredibly shit in the league when we see what this team is capable of in Europe.
We have good players but for some reason they haven't been playing well or good.
He won't care about that he's too busy thinking up snidey bollocks to postThey literally do currently have the best defence tho
I can think of a few questions..Lucas and winks are very rarely the answer to a question I feel
They’re a very well coached side. Don’t think they’ve conceded more than 2 goals in any game all season and have one of the best defensive records, are 6th and haven’t lost away from home all year as far as I’m aware.we made sheiffield look like Barcelona
Look at how we've started games over large sample pool - there's clearly an issue in our preparation and application in the first half!Attack and defensive aren't exclusive. Our best playmakers were our centre backs who could spray the ball wherever they wanted with ease.
And how in earth do you know that our preparation leaves a lot to be desired? You on the training pitch on weekdays?
