5 at the back innit. At least with this line up we have the 433 option. Imagine the plan was keep it tight first half, unleash 433 if / when needed.

[Briles]

weve got no outlet on the right

 

[Seymour_East]

Latti did not do enough to stop the ball going across for the goal. We are also offering very little going forward

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

We're always poor playing at this pace. Rather lose 4-0 and give it a go. But MR obviously thinks this set up is our best chance.

 

[Evo1883]

Milan best on the pitch for city atm

 

[Otis]

It's fine the way we are playing, as long as when we do have the ball, we are better in possession

When we do get it, we are giving it back far too easily.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Not an entertaining watch for either team. Poor game.

 

[napolimp]

Was really hoping Wright would sort his form out.

 

[shepardo01]

We are very loose.
Not seeing mutch of the ball and poor when we do.
No outlet at all.

 

[Liquid Gold]

O'Hare looking exactly like a player that zero clubs have paid a fee for in his career so far

 

[Evo1883]

At some point today we definitely need to play a back 4 to try and impose ourselves a bit in midfield

I really like him, but based on what we have seen so far and the way the game has gone, you have to think Palmer would have been a better choice. Because he would have ran directly at that Man U defence

 

[skybluegod]

Giving them far too much respect. Everything is being played in front of them. They are are playing a very high line with two bin lorries as CB's let's get in behind them.

 

[Macca]

Let’s remember in all reality this was never more than a day out and a piss up. Let’s get a goal to cheer

 

[Evo1883]

We are playing in ourselves, we've several more gears here

 

[Liquid Gold]

Van Ewick our best player by a mile so far. Age on his side too, kid will go so far.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Passing's left a lot to be desired today. Granted, we've not had many chances to get on thr ball, but we're not doing enough when we are.

 

[shmmeee]

Kitching…

I'm not too disheartened. We just need to be better in possession.

he will go before sheaf

 

[Otis]

That's better

 

[MalcSB]

Well done to Eccles

How so?

 

[Paul Anthony]

Better, great work Eccles

 

[ccfcchris]

Well done Josh. At last nice move.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Fucking hell Collins release the ball quicker

 

[ccfcchris]

Collins worry's me.

 

[napolimp]

Sheaf's composure in midfield is massive. Needs the ball more.

 

[Otis]

Eccles and MVE have been the two standout performers so far. Thomas has been decent too.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Nobody paying attention to the run then.

 

[Otis]

That's poor.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Rubbish.

 

[Evo1883]

Looked offside in the build up , awful defending .. think we fucked it today playing 5atb , shit ourselves tbh

Can talk about their quality but we've been shit for a month now

 

[Paul Anthony]

Poor again
