1. Failure to man-mark and pick up your man - basic stuff really the first goal was to much space from the throw in for stoke to pick out their man
2. Not creating enough chances - fair enough 3 nil down -not expected but even after half time - how many times did we put a decent cross in the box ? - 2 possibly 3
3. Constant School-boy errors with passing either directly passing to the opposing team or passing in to a team mate that cant do anything because of the opposing team closing him down
4. No movement - fair enough play the passing game but if you do you have to have 3 options to pass to each time - even though we arent 1/2 as good look at Arsenal - pass then move giving the player recieving the ball 3 options to pass to. Even if you dont master the basics of the game plan that we are trying to play least give yourself options to pass to - that are in space with time on the ball if you can.
5. Grit and passion - we seem to be lacking what we have been famous for over the years - playing to win with high passion rate and forcing a win - and retaining the ball at all costs
6. Pace- going back to point 4 if you are going to play a decent system we need to have pace in the wingers and throughout the team currently we gain the ball in the centre of midfield but do nothing with it - someone will take the ball and instead of attacking with pace will jog with it stop turn and pass whilst in that time the defence or the opposition has had time to compose themselves and defend to win the ball back - examples Armstrongs goal against Charlton that shows we can do it. - plus Plymouth the amount of times they caught us on the break with pace was shocking really
Well thats my summary up to know i am sure you could add more points
