I'd like to see Saka come from out to in, try and create an overload. Okay a one two with someone on the edge of the box, anything other than the horseshoe pattern of play we have seen for so long.

I know, pass and move. It's pretty basic stuff, it probably doesn't help that the players are pretty static when receiving the ball.

The slow play has to be a mentality/confidence issue, scared to make a mistake, overthinking the basics which has lead to some of the performances we have seen over the last 9 months.

I also have an irrational hatred of the bloke.

Unforced errors are are things, we really need to cut it out. Must be a mentality thing?

I remember watching that. He was probably the best player in the world at that point (and probably the two years preceding), for me the pound for pound premier league greatest.

Sheerer used to score those weekly I swear! Pre his 7000 ACLs the bloke was rapid, at Southampton and Blackburn he was a joke. Ronaldoesq - the flashy stuff

Beautiful. You never see a player go around the GK anymore, must be a lost art. Don't even see it at my kids games.... Bring back the past!

This. The football has become progressively more boring. The first two seasons after COVID was pretty good to watch (we also had loads of rousing comebacks early in the season) which generated a good atmosphere because we believed something could happen. Now we just sort of keep the ball for...

Here's to hoping, there is normally a team that flies up from obscurity. Fingers crossed it can be us!

Yea, could have moved the ball way faster, got it into the wide players early to give them a chance to actually get at their man

I think their defence is probably one off the best in the league. All their games seem to be 1 nils or low scoring draws.

I don't think that's correct (6th best away record).

The free kick is given where the offside player receives the ball apparently, it was explained in the Comms.

This applies to basically all our forwards across many, many games. This stretches back to last season, Wright and particularly Simms had made a run and could have been found with a relatively simple pass but weren't. I think we are getting the ball forward better now in patches, some really...

2 points away from home all season and 30+ goals conceded so far this season. A factually correct chant for a change!

Shitter. What's EMC out with, some sort of strain?

That free kick against Van Heeke encapsulates "the game has gone".

2nd of the season?

Generally, yes IMO.
