Don't forgot being bang average with the ball at his feet.Sanchez isn’t a good defender. Has no aerial awareness or capabilities whatsoever.
Our defense has slowly gotten worse since the first season Poch took over. Gone are the days of us having anywhere close to the best defense in the league.
Get that he wants to make a point with Jan and Eriksen but you have to pick your best team.
Too many times it's bloody turgid stuff with a long shot or two bailing us out 90% of the timeThere is a very worrying possibility that poch literally has no tactical answer to breaking down a deep defence that just let's us keep the ball on the halfway line.
Learning what exactly- how not to defend. How can he be better than Jan?Well at least Sanchez is learning.
Obvious statement but we need to start the 2nd pumped
more like poor movement ahead of him. he lost the ball once which was on him but otherwise he's done well, i'd like to see him be a bit more forceful with his forward runs though.
Our shit form started long before april...I'm seriously starting to worry that we're reaching the end of the line with Poch. We've been on relegation form since april and I've seen nothing to suggest that we're about to improve..
For the first time since he's been at the club, I'm starting to wonder whether Poch has the answers to drag us out of this malaise.
Please be true4-1 coming up
I agree. A sideways/backwards pass is often because there is little or no movement up frontPeople saying we don't pass it forward enough are not watching the game. I'd implore a lot of you to not follow the ball in a lot of these matches and watch what the front four are doing.
You just see a narrow bunch doing random things, all playing up against the defence, hidden behind the opposition midfield, walking not finding space, and waiting for the ball to be progressed into the final third before we try to do some random individual stuff to pick the lock. Often it's fucking impossible to try and find them.
It will be a torturous struggle to break teams down with such a lack of attacking idea and drilled ways to construct possession and attacks, its a massive oversight we need to do much better at.
He had it already vs City!Time for Lo Celso to come on, so that he can get his first touch of the ball in the PL.
Winks is not a DCM. Positioning defensively is poor. Verts has to come on at LCB. Lo Celso has to come on in CM. Eriksen has to come on in CAM.
