I think Lawrence is wrong, this ISN'T 4-3-3, Afobe and Gregory are definitely set up as a front 2. I'm not completely convinced that it's a flat back 4 either, although I have to admit that Bruno is definitely playing very wide left if it is a 3. It’s 3-5-2 and it needs changing because Bruno is being torn a new arse

Thomson is just not good enough to play a critical role and this should tell us that he’s one I’d look to move on

All over the place at the back, struggling to create anything in attack. Blackpool look more composed & moving the ball quicker when in possession. Needs changing. You didn't mention the midfield. What about midfield? Actually, I'm not sure we have one

We’re always such slow starters aren’t we? It's nearly half-time. Are we going to be speeding up soon?

We are absolutely garbage. Every one of them panic with the ball at feet. Batth, Bruno and Chester all shite. Nothing going forward. How are you supposed be optimistic when we can’t play football and just a hoofing side

Slow in speed of thought, in passing the ball and moving with the ball.
Same shit different season.

we have no midfield, and no one on the bench. I'm worried about Thompson for us, I just don't think he's good enough He's poor that's why he couldn't get into the Blackpool team but hey ho he was free We paid a fee didn’t we?

Granted, I'm only listening at work but we seem to be fucking appalling. I am watching and I don't think we've quite reached the dizzy heights of appalling. Maybe we'll improve to that in the 2nd half

Can someone explain how Gregory is preferred over Campbell

Post by toppercorner on Aug 29, 2020 14:44:52 GMT
this has to be a stoke game where we're polar opposites in the halves.
not only are we poor at passing and control, we're out muscled by them for abou 90% of the challenges.
frightening

He's poor that's why he couldn't get into the Blackpool team but hey ho he was free We paid a fee didn’t we? Even we aren't that stupid surely though you are possibly correct on a five year contract !!!!!! can't believe we have signed James Chester either what a waste of a squad place.

Think we will improve when afoebe goes off as we seem obsessed that’s the only route

It needs Cousins and that’s about as damning as I can be about it. Oh don't! It needs Mikel and that's a beautiful promise.

Only player to come out of that half with any credit is Afobe.
The rest have been woeful.

He needs to sort out the positioning on that left side because nobody knows what's going on there.
Thompson is shite.

Thomson is just not good enough to play a critical role and this should tell us that he’s one I’d look to move on He’s a nothing player and won’t affect the game one bit. See Marco Van Ginkel.

Afobe has been our best player by a mile in a poor first half. Powell and McLean need to up their game second half, Bruno and Gregory both need subbing. Thompson and Smith have done next to nothing.
