The season fizzling out...

Papa Shango · April 15, 2021

The season doesn't need to fizzle out, we are in a decent position and a good run could see us pushing for Europe.

However we all know what will happen so yeah, it's been over for a while really. Same as every season.

Some of the sets aren't even lego, they are those blag ones where you get loads but they annoyingly don't fit with standard lego.

I was thinking that when I wrote it, but didn't know how to say it. I wouldn't have come up with "blag" in a million years of trying.

Needs to go back to 433 and knock this silly 442 on the head.

We've never played well with it or 3 at the back

Agree we look better in a 433

If we lose tomorrow then we should start preparing for next season

Sounds like we have the personnel to go with Allan, Davies and Gomes in midfield and a front three of James, King and Richy. I’m sure we won’t though lol

Key injuries will do that to you. It is what it is. Our only midfielders are crocked. Can’t blame Carlo for that

I just come across an interview with Sam Allardyce after the 5-1 defeat away to Arsenal in 2018. His quotes that day were, exactly. "I have alot of trouble with the players taking on to the pitch what we ask them to do. The consistency level has always been a worry" and "The longer we go on we are showing so much inconsistency".

Is this exactly the same issue CA is getting?

Is the players the big issue here? Or club mentality?

The fact it has happened with a few different managers with a large number of the same players, tells me it's the players and why I have completely backed off giving Carlo schtick, the players are getting worse and worse at the top level. BUT, I think most managers over complicate tactics as well.
