I know its early days and all that,but the lack of pace in our squad now is quite scarey,all over the park we have plodders,from Daws and Verts,at the back to Sandro, Pauli,dems,in the middle,Lennons can still move but nothing like he used to be,Sol up front has no pace to speak of really.

I was really excited with the players we've brought in in you tube world but seeing them play im not very excited at all i mean you dont need time to show your're pace do you ? Willian was a massive lose for us IMO..

Hope im well and truely wrong and the squad come together but i cant see us hitting teams on the break as we have always done,is a completely different style of play necessary ? i think thats what we're going to get.

Fingers crossed we get some pace in before the window closes.

COYS.

I agree, bring back huddlestone, parker Bentley Doherty so we can have some real pace.

More than one way to skin a cat. United, City and Chelsea aren't exactly blessed with pace.

Personally I prefer a "dominant" style as opposed to a counter-attacking style. It always seemed like a bit of a cop out to me when our best chance of scoring a goal was because we had 2 players who can run really quickly after defending a corner.

We have six points from two games.

We are building a great side and still have business to do.

I am certainly not underwhelmed and feel more positive about the future prospects of our team than I have done for many a season.

I'm still quite puzzled by threads like this. We've won our 2 first PL games and brrezed through an EL qualifyer in eastern europe, which isn't an easy place to play regardless of opposition, and we've done so without conceding a single goal. As long as we're winning there is actually no reason at all to worry. Look at Arse for example, sure they've won 2/3 of their games, and they've scored alot more goals than us bit the've looked really shaky in their defense. People need to stop worry about the size of our victories and put som trust into the coaches and players. Can't wait for the NLD to kick off now as we really look as we can go all the way this year. I for one will blindly put my trust into AVBs team and tactics. COYS

Other teams don't commit many players forward when they are attacking against us and they get players behind the ball just as fast so really there is very little to exploit. Secondly we do plod with are passing

I will, but first you must appease his righteous fury.

The team will no doubt improve as they gel more but we coulda won 3/4-0 yesterday, not only that but our style now is to constrict and control, if you dont like that well that part isnt going to change so you've just gotta get used to it i'm afraid. As for me I loved watching our technical moves build up from the back yesterday, the way we switched the ball around was lovely :)
