For now they need consistency and only way to get that is to keep them together, well ideally the whole back 4 needs to stay the same for a number of games to get the confidence back in themselves and each other, well that’s what I think anyways.

Hard to argue with that and consistency must surely help. Might just be me, but I don’t feel the same abject terror I get when Dan receives the ball as I do when Cags does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think Cags shades it but I do think we are all waiting for him to take someone out by recklessly diving in be it in the box or when he pushes up and gets skinned up field. He needs to control the temper which stems back to that red card v Bournemouth, maybe a game or 2 before actually, where something seemed to switch in him and he started to lose his mind and every challenge seemed to be an angry 1, as I say needs to go back to basics do the simple things but do them well and not the show pony stuff that gets him into trouble. On the plus side his driving the ball up field has got a little better last couple of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should always base your team around your best players, and especially your biggest goal threats. There's always a way, and several realistic formations have been suggested during the course of other threads on this forum.

Reading their care plans is utterly horrify. Some of them have been through so much 😭💔 It's very hard to not take work home 😭 Poor little boy. I take my hat off to you, my other half is a nurse whose last job was up Coalville way, and she couldn't cope with the assaults and cutting down kids attempting ligatures anymore. She now works for one of the universities, trying to help struggling students. She still leaves work with the worry that a student will come to harm, or harm themselves. It's hard to listen to sometimes, especially with the foreign students who can easily become isolated, and who can often be under terrible pressure to succeed.

Vardinio'sCat Posted 4 December 2021 Share Posted 4 December 2021 I think Cags or Dan is sadly a close call, which was not the case a year ago. I do feel Cags is looking a bit better in the 2, but we need defensive success to settle him. The PL is a tough place, if you show weakness you will be targeted.

The entire season so far we have surrendered midfield and in doing so, put the defence under undue pressure. It's extraordinarily odd. I'd attempt to solidify and be a bit more pragmatic and start to he hard to beat..I'd start with Gk plus current normal 4 at the back Wilf Madders Hamza Kdh Kels Vards ....and use our bench to develop the game later; Barnes, Daka, Perez, Albrighton, Lookman can all change a dynamic of a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
