adamkhalifa Posted 17 March Share Posted 17 March The whole system needs a rethink. Honestly, hate this type of football. We ain't Barcelona. We ain't Man City. And Enzo stop referencing Pep. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted 17 March Share Posted 17 March It’s tactical suicide to play this high of a line, with huge gaps in between each defender and no protection in front of it. Add to that a half arsed press and two of the back four being painfully slow and you have yourself a recipe for disaster. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

when_you're_smiling Posted 17 March Share Posted 17 March We all knew the defence would need a major overhaul if we got promoted anyway. It was what got us relegated last year and is now set up to try and break weaker teams down rather than keep better teams than us out. Some decent play but for the most part the final ball hasn’t been good enough. Can see us scoring but no way are we not conceding more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to see us try a more traditional 4-4-3 with full backs making space for the wingers to come inside. I’d say Ndidi, KDH and Winks are capable of totally controlling this game. 4-4-3 ???

Claudio Fannieri Posted 17 March Share Posted 17 March Hamza is such a massive downgrade from Ricardo, lacks vision, everything is laboured in possession sideways and backwards rarely tries anything incisive and he just doesn’t have the football intelligence he is so often caught out on the blindside. We have actually looked bright in possession but decision making in the final 3rd has been poor. Next goal is critical if we can make it 2-1 then it could get tense and nervy for Chelsea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzos decision to start 3 slow players at the back has killed us here. That's because he's not a very good manager. He doesn't know how to mange his squad well to have a tactical advantage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Nacho Posted 17 March Share Posted 17 March I just think the defensive set up is completely wrong. I wish we would be a little more dynamic with our shape. Why can't we have two holding players when we're out of possession? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxtonfox Posted 17 March Share Posted 17 March Defending with diver boots on we are just so sloppy and slow. Enzo may as well gamble now as to be honest we don’t look like scoring as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people need to screw there heads back on A billion pound squad that have been underwhelming this season. The future of Poch has been mooted on/off for months. I’ve stayed away from FT the last few days but the negativity on here is a fair assessment on our awful form/same insane mistakes….we’re so easy to play against right now, so open.

Supergray22 Posted 17 March Share Posted 17 March 1 minute ago, beepee1984 said: The inverted full back is not working here. With Ricci injured, Hamza looks exposed and defensively Justin would have been the better option - but neither Justin/Doyle play as the invert so Enzo would have had to change We are really missing Riccardo at the moment. Doyle is doing ok on the left but has got exposed there too. Nowhere for the first goal. Maybe Justin’s pace on the right might help if we went to a flat back four but we havent done that much this season. Exposed at the back and not clinical in front of goal. Overall though we haven’t done that bad just need more composure in the critical moments as we have seen in recent games. If we get one goal early on this could still be turned around.
