I don't think it is at all coinicidental our form especially on the road has turned to crap with an out of form Bissouma being asked to control the entire space between the edge of our box and the halfway line on his own. Our front three can't hold the ball up to save their life. It's not their...
We're making a bad habit of losing control in the first half of matches after wasting promising chances before.
But once again the shift in the second half was good.
Start of the season we were putting in great performances from start to finish. That's died away as the season has gone on but...
I think next season we have to figure out a way to balance the midfield. Not just in personnel but they can't all expect to be the playmaker. If we're hit and miss with one game a week then we're going to be in real trouble with European football.
The goalkeepers for Sheffield United and Burnley are two of the worst I've seen at this level. They look so out of their depth. Luton's keeper has saved them points and that's worth its weight in gold.
Hopefully that goal will give him new confidence now he is off the mark. He plays well in build up play with his runs that the other players don't utilise enough. The glaring issue is he is not natural in front of goal and it looks like to be in the mind. There's no other player in the world I'd...
I disagree with that. Not saying you're doing this but I find it a bit patronising the common train of thought to say we have to get into the Europa or even now Conference League to develop our youngsters otherwise it can't happen. Firstly because it ends up in a Catch-22 situation since in the...
I would prefer that. Way I see it though is Bissouma's form has dropped off since the Luton red card so you can drop him, put Dragusin in a back three and Porro and Udogie inverting doesn't leave us with less numbers in midfield. If Ange won't stop the inverting with Davies and Emerson filling...
I didn't expect to talk about 3 at the back again so soon but maybe given he plays so high and pushing players forward we need that extra body instead of being 2-3-5 on the break. Opposite to Conte who played that formation with a low block and players behind the ball.
This is correct. The way to make a difference without changing the system is to have an excellent 1v1 dribbler on the wing and constantly get the ball out to him to run. That will force the opposition to double mark him and take someone out of the middle. Instead most of our play goes to Kulu...
I think Wolves have showed the limitations of his system right now. We lack control of the middle of the park as it is too congested which suits teams sitting deep. There are loads of teams that play with a low block but what makes Wolves different is they actually have the attacking players who...
I think we will get top four without a doubt. We've only got the league to play for heading into the backend of the season and the injured players are coming back to fitness now. We did very well to cope with the amount of key players out over the winter and that included mid-week fixtures in...
Feels like it's coming full circle for Villa now. Recent poor results in games they have played well in counterbalancing the start of the season where they picked up wins in games they were on the backfoot for most of the time. Watkins has developed into an excellent forward but he's not got...
