We are so sluggish moving the ball , anytime we make attacks the other seem is able to pack the box and then we get frustrated sending errant crosses into a congested area
That's a problem with a lot of these old school "pragmatic" managers when they encounter issues instead trying to be practical and implement tweaks , they become recticant to apply changes as they feel it's a risky choice to try something different even though the current approach is flawed.We are too slow, giving the opposition time to regroup so we overly rely on crosses into the box and hitting it long.
When you watch us play from the back, the midfield waits to be passed to rather than moving into space to receive the ball and a lot of time this results in one of the centre backs, especially Tarks, punting it to the likes of Beto. I mean what kind of game plan is that?
There is a lack of pace and cohesion in the team. We overly rely on the likes of Gana as well who surely we should be looking to replace soon. Add to that a left back who makes it easy for the opposition to double up on JG and the right back area still a major issue.
I don’t understand what we are trying to do as some of these problems have been here for ages and it’s infuriating to watch and it’s no surprise the crowd get restless because it’s a case of seeing the same things over and over again and not being sorted.
It’s getting to a point where I am almost convinced there is some internal sabotage going on because if the fans can see the problems why can’t the ones being paid to supposedly fix them?
In the palace game the ineligible was KDH. If he had been on the pitch the changes wouldn't have occurred even if we were losing 2-0.I agree with everything you wrote except he did make a notable and rare change in the palace game , which made a significant impact yet he opted to resort to the same lineup he usually does except grealish only because he was ineligible to play against city. He doesn't even learn from when does the occasional correct and different thing
Agreed Roger. There does seem like a disconnect between the clubs transfer strategy and Moyes and the type of players he wants (quick short term players to get instant results)The set up has been a complete balls up by the club. If you want to recruit players with the profile like Dibling and Rohl, we should have a manager who can work with them. If they want a manager like Moyes, we should be buying him the Soucek's of the world. I'd prefer the former myself.
The whiff of Bill Kenwright still hovers over the mentality of this club in the form of Moist. I appreciate the effect he had on the team last season, but he's now holding them back.
Not going for the win against a very poor Wolves team was a disaster.View attachment 330442
This game being prime example. Should have been a full house at home raking in over a million in gate receipts.
Happened with Koeman also, started season great, played a weak team at home to Norwich In cup, went out and form tailed off for a while.Not going for the win against a very poor Wolves team was a disaster.
We were on a high confidence in both the team and fans was high.
We havnt really been the same as before that game.
Bad own goal by Moyes and one of are only chances yo win anything squandered as well.
You need re-read my post. Clearly I said in it we are all entitled to our own opinion, I simply said me trying to argue the other side is becoming tiresome. But thanks for the most pointless reply I’ve ever read.Moyes certainly isn't the only issue but he is an issue. He plays the same 11 whenever they are available, doesn't change tactics when a game plan isn't working, only makes like for like substitutions and even then only late in the game, and was one of the much vaunted transfer committee that has left us without players in key positions. I'm sorry if you find that analysis "tiresome" but diversity of opinion is the whole point of a forum.
