It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't limp out of the cups.
Really poor take. Like something from the proper footballer geezer playbook.
The pitch was compressed into their third, it’s not about “not” taking risks it’s about there being no space to take them.
We didn’t score from taking a risk, we scored from a couple of lucky bounces and a toe poke through the keepers legs. They scored from us taking risks - IE Bissouma trying to dribble in a crowded spot.
You don’t beat bus parks by just doing stupid stuff and ceding possession, you beat it with patience and intelligence and if you are lucky a bit of brilliance- something our forward line is very bereft of.
We definitely need a player (or two) who can dribble 1v1 and better, more intelligent and technically proficient forwards. But even then we’ll still get the odd game where we get skanked by a bus park.
Craig dawson is a clogger. That annoys me we lost to a team that has him in the team. Neto and gomes we should get in summer and offload our trash in exchange.
The point is that it's still progress and although a missed opportunity perhaps, better than we expected. I'm just trying to put some perspective in place. For everyone including me.
Bissouma way off pace. Son, bissouma need a rest. Two week break. Good time. Part of me thinks age is starting to become a factor for Son.
What is it anyways? Just playing inverted wingers and saying look at me I am a revolutionary coach. We creat hardly any real chances and scramble some towards the end when we actually try to cross the ball. Otherwise it is slow ponderous sideways and backwards passing with no urgency , intensity or pressing. Where is the aggression and determination to win the ball, beat a man, shoot, cross, etc!
Think this result was coming, poor against Everton, lucky again Brighton and shit today.
Apart from utd away, can't remember the last time we played well, most of them are back from injury and competitions now, so no excuses for this poor form.
Can't keep clean sheet, defence is poor every game, we just give up too many chances.

But look at the signings he has been backed no Europe early out of the cups it's not good enough
Bissouma just rested for 2 months
We were bang average against a shite UTD side too
Exactly how much the player’s supposedly love the man they ain’t showing it .
I’d like to see us be able to play 3/4/3 and try and bring the best out of Maddison. Even someone like Kulu would perhaps benefit more in that setup.
The obvious problem we have today is that our wingers are so poor, we can’t stretch the play. And then, when everything gets narrow, we don’t see any clever movement from Richie or (inexplicably) Werner as the 9.
I’d almost prefer to see us try a 4/4/2 with Son/Richie.
Is a little bit concerning how Maddison, Bentancur and Bissouma have all looked like shadows of their former selves since coming back from injuries. Bentancur maybe was inevitable with an ACL but still.
That is the big thing we need to fix. On paper we have a killer midfield but not with all of them off it.
