When managers persist with this and it’s obviously not working the team suffers and concedes a goal. Time and again we keep seeing this happen. No one ever learns. I refuse to believe a professional team cannot figure this out logically and play a different less risky way. Baffles me! Like watching school boys. It says a lot about a manager who persists with this when it clearly doesn't work. I'd like to understand thier thought process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elements of luck, form, confidence and fixture schedule can have a massive bearing on anyone's season. They have some decent players. But the squad has absolutely no depth (nketia ffs) and I personally wouldn't be in that much of a rush for us to sign, say, Tierney, White, Partey, Shaqa for example. It's an half decent but ordinary team been riding a wave for 20 games.

Kante, Mahrez and Vardy would've made any starting xi in the world that season. Man City. Barca. Juve. Bayern. Anyone. Arsenal haven't anyone at that level 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't fancy them I'm inclined to agree that Arsenal might have been riding the crest of a wave, but I'd still have them considerably ahead of us. Our first X1 consists of Maddison (who would get into most sides), a few "on their day" players, some promising new arrivals and Danny Ward. Even Vardy is a fading light. But a squad comparison exposes the truth even more starkly. We're still one injury to a defender away from starting Amartey or Thomas; and one injury to a winger away from a complete change in formation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refuse to believe a professional team cannot figure this out logically and play a different less risky way. Baffles me! Like watching school boys. Now, these teams that insist on doing this and taking 2 yard goal kicks... They're trying to lure you in so they can take out 3/4/5 of your players with a single pass. I'd take the opposite approach. Everyone retreats to the halfway line and sets up in their shape. Confuse them. You can fvck about with it as much as you want in your own half, but you ain't getting in to ours.

Deeg67 Posted 17 February 2023 Share Posted 17 February 2023 As Southampton move on from Jesse and Leeds continues to be the Typhoid Mary of management vacancies, either one of them could be really courageous and hire Barak Bakhar. He’s done a phenomenal job at Maccabi Haifa and was strongly linked to the Rangers job last year. Would it be a bold move the fanbase might resist? Absolutely. But he’s a guy that’s completely dominated domestically (Haifa were in an extended trough when he arrived) and while obviously overmatched in Europe, has at least avoided parking the bus. A clever tactician known for adapting to the opposition rather than being married to a rigid system, often mentioned as a top young managerial talent.

How many did we have out at times over the past few years? More than that! If they have 13 players out from a squad of 25 then that’s pretty grim. But I’m sure it isn’t unprecedented and the only help they’d get is if they had their three first choice keepers injured. At the worst, I think we had about 9 of the 25 squad players unavailable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember well we had all our CBs ruled out against Liverpool (1-0) plus Daka, Ricardo, Bertnard. 6 players in total I think. Max injuries we reached were 9 and there was also a game where 3 of our players were disciplined and ruled out due to Covid "violations". At the time, if I remember well again, we had 12-13 ruled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
