Keane and Holgate coming on

Frank mustn't like us being ahead.

Keane and Holgate. It was goin so well

 

[TheBigIguana]

Frank mustn't like us being ahead.

Nah he's just trying desperately to figure out which CBs are least trash. Godfrey didn't make a good case that half.

Plus he can't actually play Yerry a full game that doesn't count.

 

[HeltSkelt]

Going to be a long long season. Looking forward to the World Cup break already

 

[Stephen Gibson]

I wonder if people agree with this part because for me he's absolutely shocking right now and I kind of think there are a lot of people will say he's doing well

As others have said in this match thread, we seem to struggle to get the ball into the two central midfielders & turn the play. He really struggles with finding good space for himself & the concept of quick triangle passing to turn the play forward.

We'll get the best out of Mykolenko and Patterson in this formation, but also feel like the 3 CB's are too deep to be effective.

Correct me if I`m wrong but the last friendly we had at Blackpool in 2020 was 3-3 wasn`t it? We were 3-0 down inside 11 minutes....

Progress!!!! Yes, that was sarcastic. But all joking aside I loathe the 5 at the back and 2 man CM, we are so bad at it, if we want to play that way we need 2 new CMs and some wingers that understand the wide role with Wingbacks overlapping....

Ironic that we look to go 3 at the back when other teams are trying to bin it off i.e. Brentford canned it last season, Wolves are moving away from it if reports from their manager are to be believed, Brighton used it less last season than they ever have. 4-3-3 is the way forward whilst we haven`t got the players....

Do you want to fill Delph's place on the treatment table, Grillitsch injury record is not great at all.

It's substantially less awful than Delph, Gomes or Mina.

Probably could do similar with a back four if we bought a real DM. But we'd be able to get something out of others too.

 

[Mosh Pit]

Really disappointing to see so many negative comments for what was a very positive half overall.

Especially considering what just happened in the states.

Negative nancies!

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

5 at the back may actually be GOATed

 

[TheBigIguana]

That was much better

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Mykolenko was excellent there

 

[jonnyboy316]

Good play

Yep need a 6 that is happy to drop between the CB’s. But need two CB’s happy out wide, Tarkowski seems it but maybe none of the others.
