It feels a bit like something has changed tactically the last 4-5 games and/or we are just struggling against these low blocks but as you say Porro & also Udogie are less of a threat lately and also generally the team is trying to score this scripted cross and tap in goal over and over when there are times when we really could do with mixing it up and crossing it from a bit deeper or occasionally shooting from distance.Porro just doesn’t get used as much as he did earlier in the season
Against a low block Sarr looks the wrong type of midfielder.
The defence is a bigger problem. How are we this open with Vicario, Romero, VDV and Udogie at the back?
We're definitely still short of leaders throughout the squad
I'd be tempted to pull him off HT
Im at the game. Id have Bentancur and Lo Celso on.
This is it. If we'd started the season like this and gradually improved that would be one thing but we played incredibly well until the Chelsea match, it understandably all went to shit for a period after that but now we're all but at full strength again and we're getting worse, not better.This team is steadily getting worse as the season goes on.
Very concerning.
I’m going to have to disagree there mate. I think he’s done quite well so far, yeah he’s made a few mistakes but I think he’s been better than most out there so far.Such a bizarre team. Bossing the game, pressing well, passing well, shooting from distance (!). Concede one chance and turn to jelly.
Bissouma really hasn't been great, Sarr a bit off, and Maddison could either stick it in the top corner from 30 yards or punch the Ref. Not sure which yet.
Werner really the only one who looks as though he wants to make something happen, even if it's only a one in three chance of it coming off.
The lack of variation is definitely an issue.This is going to sound controversial but it's not meant to be. I'm getting bored of the same goal being scored. I've never remembered our avenues to goal to be so so repetitive even during the dark days
