I honestly can't remember the last time we executed a smooth bit of play.
We get into the final third and it's just square ball, after square ball, then either a tame shot from far or dead cross from deep... Or even back passes, completely choking our attack.
I'm seeing occasional decent runs (although not nearly enough), but it's like the players aren't seeing them and so many opportunities for through balls just go begging.
A problem we've had all season.
It's like we scared to execute the killer passes and we persist on playing it safe as we fear interception and a counter. Either that or the players are just unaware of the runs...
I don't know but it's pissing me off.
