It’s crazy isn’t it, I mean that volley from the edge of the box is all down to organisation or lack of it.
We had nobody on the posts and yet there was still not a single player marking the space on the edge. They had two players free. That would’ve taken 30 mins on the training ground, it’s almost all down to coaching.
After 6 games I still have absolutely no clue how David Unsworth wants to play football. Unless he is going for the incredibly naive, no shape lets see how it goes method in which case he’s brilliant at it
Absolutely spot on this MacmoFrandel.
The amount of times - and this is Under 12s stuff, let alone too complicated for a much-vaunted U23 league winning coach - their centreforward, who we made look like Diego Costa in his prime, dropped deep, Williams or Keane would charge with them and there would be a huge 15 yard hole behind was embarrassing.
You've got three centremids in front of you, why are you going with the striker into that area? Why doesn't the full back drop in and one of the centre mids drop into the full back area?
He sets us up 4-3-3 (god knows why) and that's supposed to work for width, a focal point striker who brings the full backs, wingers, and midfield in to the game. Only, we don't play with pace or width, or a 10 that gets beyond the striker, or a striker that can hold the ball up, or full backs capable of going past their opposite number....
There's a reason why coaches like Dyche, Silva are praised, because they realise the limitations of their players and PLAY TO THEIR STRENGTHS. Unsy however, being the tactical mastermind that he is, would rather we played to the mad Martinez system that Koeman was too lazy to change and then wonders why, gasp, we concede a massive amount of goals.
