Several. I assume you don’t want a full documented dossier on every time a piece of skill is or isn’t successful, but Gibbs-White and Ndiaye are pretty much our only exciting players. But sure, if you’d prefer Enda Stevens looking down the wing, turning back and knocking a safe pass to the keeper or simply hoofing it out for a throw then that’s your choice.
And the players ain't good enough to play out of the press from the opposition. All they do is short pass to the nearest player who has already got a opposition player breathing down his neck, who then in turn gets rid with yet another short pass to yet another player that's pressured until a forward pass goes head height up to Billy or just a hopeful punt down the wing.
this. He's a decent player but does need to mix iy up so we can retain possesion when it's not on.
Absolutely bang on...We are one of the easiest teams to play against, and after the obligatory cautious start, it’s so annoying to see visiting teams grow in such confidence when they realise how easy it is to snuff out our threat.
Resulting in how many goals recently exactly? Like everyone I want to see exciting and skilful football but what annoys the fuck out of of, is flicking the ball to the opposition regularly or trying to take on half the team and losing the ball.
Agreed, Alongside Ndayie he needs to learn when is the right time, as opposed to trying something with every touch. We looked better once didsy startedholding it up and allowing the team to play 20-30 yards higher up the pitch.
Don't think anyone can argue that MGW and Ndiaye are the most skilful players, and perhaps we are expecting a little too much, both young and in Ndiaye's case first season in the league.
Every week?
Exactly this.
I think a lot of that is down to a lack of confidence, and players hiding from each other, no one looks capable of standing up for themselves, instead of putting the onus on someone else, making that first time cross or pass and shouting/questioning why the XxXxx! Aren't you on the end of it, they take the safe option, easy passMGW and Ndiaye offer the only creativity in the side , granted doesn’t always come off and at times can be frustrating,
But without them we are so bloody predictable the current players that have got into this slow deliberate super safe I don’t want to be the one that lost possession mode , by the time the balls crossed the halfway line the opposition got 10 men behind the ball . We’re in a real rut with this style of play now & without a change in personnel we’re gonna be hamstrung by it
Agree 100%
The obvious question is, other than replacing 6/7 or 8 players on the January window, something we can't afford, not to mention the monumental risk/chance they all gel, and all work.
What annoys the fuck out of me is when we play negative safe passes when we could play an attacking pass to, you know, actually try and create something.
He makes zero effort to get in front of his marker, the throw ins for us yesterday being the biggest indicator of this but it happens in general play often as well.
I have though the same.. However, we get relegated they get another pay cut...
I believe it landed at their man in midfield. That's not a perfect clearance. If a player is facing the right way and puts it to their man in the middle of the park, questions would rightly be asked.
The easy ball is to his right towards our left for Hourihane and Fleck. That's not a particularly difficult ball to make.
