Need more creative at 8 and in the wide positions, and a forward who's more mobile. If we do not have the players to do it then it is the wrong system surely? Boring shite again. Let's hope for some kind of improvement in the second half. Getting worse ATM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a coaches job to make players better, but players also have a ceiling, ultimately we'd like to not only get back in the prem but in the top 10, neither of these two players is of that standard. An probably only 2 in our starting lineup have that ability. Now you've said that all I can see is mavididi getting into the position Harvey Barnes scored 90%of his goals from, stopping, jittering and either running Ino defenders or passing back out of the area to someone being pressed.

phildw Posted 2 December 2023 Share Posted 2 December 2023 I really don't know what you lot want from football. That was a dominating first half of football making the supposedly 'form' team od the league looking scared and bang average to say the least. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever Fox Posted 2 December 2023 Share Posted 2 December 2023 We haven't done enough on the Ball. Both our Wingers poor today. We need them to get on the Ball and run with it. WB have worked hard to keep us out so I expect more chances this half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to play with what you've got, and that means a system that works for them. West Brom are a lot more exciting to watch. They are winning every stat apart from passing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getin Posted 2 December 2023 Share Posted 2 December 2023 Given that city create so few opportunities and nothing from set pieces it’s criminal when Nacho with plenty of time in front of goal can’t even force a save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, Nacho drops too far and the 8s don't make those runs enough I realise that.
