Nailed it.I think Leeds and to a lesser extent Burnley look like premier league squads playing in the champ.
We look like a champ squad doing really well in the champ.
My main concern is the style of play (if you can call it that) … it’s very dated and very easy to play against
Prem teams would be drooling a the prospect of playing us each week.
We regularly play back to the keeper when in promising positions.
It takes us an age to switch play to the opposite side of the pitch.
The lack of speed and athleticism still hasn’t been addressed.
We play most of our football in front of the opposition and rarely (if at all) look to break the lines and get in behind.
We dot have multiple tactical plans to adjust in game.
We get away with this in the champ but we won’t in the prem
There is a lack of pace in the side and in the early days of 352 our passing and movement was key. We had players that played to the system and were organised.
We have done really well to be where we are considering that Rak Sayk, Hamer, Peck, Davies Brooks O'Hare play multi touch and take too much out of the ball and slow down the play. We seem to be a team of individuals that can produce a bit of magic but we are not all on the same wavelength.
