Can someone please give me an explanation as to why we are possibly the ONLY team in the premier league that can't pass and move?
Shaqiri is the only player that does this. Quick 1/2 or pass and move. Everyone else stands still, no movement, and it slows our gameplay down. Is this is the way Hughes is setting up? We weren't quick under pulis though. Even burnley/West ham and watford were very good at this but we just can't seem to do anything.
Why do we have 11 players back at 0-0 at home to defend a corner? This means we have no outlet therefore when its cleared the ball comes straight back into the box putting us under more pressure.
Today we only put pressure on them when they were in our final third. Yet the second we have the ball on our 18 yard box, every away team presses us so hard that we end up giving the ball back as we have to clear our lines? I'm not blaming Hughes, because it was similar under Pulis, we just defended better, but i can't understand as to why we can't put pressure on teams before they hit our 18 yard box????
I'm still yet to find a reason or a positive on which this helps us.
(this excuses wimmer as that useless cunt couldn't tackle a stationary blind man)

Our fitness levels are poor and way below most teams and we have no pace or organisation.

We've been saying this for ages where I sit we simply don't press a team when they have the ball yet we are hassled and harried info playing a ball back or square when we have it.
I'm also sick of players not having the ability to go past a player with the ball or carry the ball further up the field by 50 hards or more when there is space we just play it back or square again
There seems a massive hole in midfield and the ball comes into that space and is collected by opposition players all the time I'm not sure who's supposed to be in that space but the opposition just keep driving through it with the ball

We are completely devoid of pace from front to back, hence no one wants to press as they know full well if they get turned they can't recover. How we have assembled such a one pace team is beyond me. Every team we play seems to have pace to break quickly and we are just so slow and ponderous. Christ today was a stark reminder that Arnautovic was our one pacey, dynamic player and sporadic though he was he gave teams something to think about.

So many players didn't want the ball today.  |

Negative mindset
Darren Fletcher
Lack of confidence
Having to try and cover a leaky defence
Little movement in front to create the pass/space
No plan

Let explain this this for your tiny mind. Hughes is meant to have the capacity to take us further that pulis did. However, were actually going backwards. If you have studied my posts like you claim, you will know i only want TP back for half a season to ensure premier league survival, as right now we are one of if not the worst team in the premier league. Once premier league survival has been secured, then we can look to build again. The difference is although there is still no pass and move with pulis, we actually have a plan and can defend for 90 minutes and put bodies on the line. I hope this clears it up for you, mate. |
