Composure and quality are the two things missing from the team
Fair enough Lou but it happened
Nobody's saying that the deliberate tactic was to be static though, more that the tactical set up may have caused us to be static.
You can't put Gylfi Sigurdsson in central midfield and then act surprised when he doesn't make himself available for the ball. He never makes himself available for the ball! It's a running joke, there are hundreds of pages on here of people talking about him never showing for the ball. It's the most obvious thing you see when you watch him.
Putting him next to Schneiderlin who also doesn't show for the ball, and hasn't passed the ball forwards since 2013, meant that we were always going to be static. Neither of them tackle either. Those two played EXACTLY like they always play, exactly like I would expect them to play. If we wanted movement off the ball and high energy pressing and tackling we shouldn't have picked them.
See all the press weasels jumping on it now Bascombe "angry mob"
They all cant resist putting the boot in.
Btw as @Carlos says "wheres the pics"
Everyone has a phone with a camera & recorder yet not one of the "angry mob" thought to use it.

Gone are the days as well when millionaire players will be star-struck by Ancelotti.
I must admit I thought his arrival would herald more huff and puff from what are in the main, very very limited players. That, if nothing else, in the last two games in particular, we would get a bit of fire and aggression.
That rather naive hope is forlorn already.
We'll cobble a few results together as we always do, but I think the established issues will remain for as long as the majority of the current squad remain.
Change will only be piecemeal and incremental.
It's worrying that the players have reverted to type so soon in terms of attitude when they are found wanting in the simple terms of not getting stuck in enough.
There was/is a motto in large print on the wall in the gym at FF "Hard work will beat talent, if talent does not work hard"
How ironic. We have little talent, and we do not work hard.
