Lookman is growing into some player! Need to get the ball to him as much as possible!

What surprises me watching us vs watching the RS is how much more space their players seem to have when attacking.
I am in no way endorsing them, but watching them v Watford it was mad to see Mane and Salah standing way out wide in acres of space and getting delivered balls to their feet from Henderson and then have them attack the full backs.
Whenever I watch us we're always fannying around, cumbersome and slow on the ball, usually looking for intricate passes and ultimately losing possession.
I'd like us to play more like them in an attacking sense. They are a joke defensively, but if we could find the space that their players manage to we'd be a lot more dangerous.

Would be great to see us really attack, tonight would be a nice opportunity to show it.

In the final third, again, we're playing that awful, slow brand of football. Zzz.

i know this Hajduk side very well , they are 5 side in Croatia now , Rijeka , Dinamo Osjek then Hajduk , We should , I mean should beat them easy , I think if we score one especially after they tired they will be open floodgate

Easy for you to say

Things are so close to clicking in the final third and that is without a recognised playmaker and a striker.

Do we really need Mirallas in the team? Same old player.... invincible

Sore leg?

Dave Whelan had a sore leg...but he rarely mentions it

 

[toffeejack]

good build up play constantly but in the final 3rd we're struggling. Definitely can see why we've brought in a playmaker and need another striker.

 

[BillBrasky]

Feel a bit bad for him, not sure what instructions RK has given him, seems to be in positions that are already covered constantly, some nice runs though.

Klaasen and Rooney are repetitive in possession. They both makes the same runs and look to occupy the same space. Which amplifies the need for a true CF so one of them can run off of him.

 

[lungo]

Bring dcl on for klassen and drop Rooney deeper and play dcl up top

Yep would be the solution.

fattie williams had quite a good ball just then

 

[Tubey]

Klaasen's impression of a crap Naismith is brilliant. Wish he'd stop it now and play football though.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Williams playing surprisingly well tonight
