Why would he pick a player he clearly has zero confidence in? Why would he keep picking formations that clearly don't work.....

Would you prefer us be 4 down🤷♂️ We're playing fucking Luton 😆 I'd prefer a couple of those goal things other sides seem to get. You know, where the numbers on your scoreboard go up? 🤣🤣🤣

Don't think this one is finishing 4-4.....

Looks like the manager has sacrificed any attacking threat to try and keep a clean sheet yet we still look like conceding.
He really needs to give his head a good wobble.
Fine if you're Wycombe or Rotherham but really no need for it.
Also with this formation our top scorer last season is rendered pretty useless.

I can only assume MON has had some kind of knock on the head and thinks he's coaching Northern Ireland away to Holland (orange shirts, see?)

Poor from us. Clucas and Obi anonymous just looking to go back. Ref is poor very inconsistent. Yeah I agree, everyone is going on about the 3 but it's makeshift. Clucas hasn't had a good game for me yet all season and if Mikel is being asked to hold we need more in there. Thompson is a bit meh for me but Clucas hasn't got going all season.

Anyone else turning on MON at this point???? Absolutely wank tactics I wouldn't say 'turning' But compared to how he set us up last season in a 4231 scoring for fun, or earlier this season with different players, we are a vastly inferior team. He's only been here a year, but it's noticeable after a break in the league the first game back is always a clusterfuck team and tactics wise (sadly) the midfield is our problem. Neither clucas or mikel is having any sort of impact.

I like O'Neill, but that was just awful, it's light years away from the cup games, Clucas & Mikel like it's been alluded to add nothing to the team, Mikel neither shields the back 3, or creates, Tymon has been decent though.

No question - midfield is poor and the 3 centre half's plus Mikel means we are offering nothing going forward The midfield aren't being given a chance, the set up is holding them back, there's no link up to the two up front and near zero coming from wide.

Anyone know what formation we are playing cause I don't. MON needs to give his head a wobble. and drop this 'system' whatever it is. its handing the initiative to the opposition, isolating Powell, midfield too weak (especially with Clucas in it). Very poor again. Still MON will be happy we are still in it. We're playing 343, the same formation that was all over Villa in the cup.

that must be the easiest half Luton have had this season. no pressure on them at all, they will be disappointed to be 0-0

Why would he pick a player he clearly has zero confidence in? Why would he keep picking formations that clearly don't work..... It's exactly the same as against Villa.

Poor from us. Clucas and Obi anonymous just looking to go back. Ref is poor very inconsistent. Clucas pretty lightweight again first half. Has to up his game, get to the pace and begin to impose himself on the play.

Tbf to Mikel he put the best ball forward to start an attack down the left.

Has to go 4231. This is awful The formation that has worked best for us in the last 10 years or so. Why did we ever change it?

I thought it looked like 2 up top first few mins as Luton are playing what looks like 4123 instead of their diamond. Me and Onlooker posted within 2 mins of the kick-off mate. Fair enough. Well that first half was shocking, we haven't played well in the league all season. Maybe change to 4231 at some point

It's ingrained in MON to play like the underdog.
Needs to snap the fuck out of it.

I see 3 at the back, 2 up top inevitably with Powell ahead of them and zero central midfield. But thats just me. Someone needs to let the players know its 3-4-3 - and you can't use Luton pressing/being better as an excuse because to a man they are worse than us

The big difference for me is Clucas didn't play and BMI looked the part in the 3. I said before KO I would have preferred Brown to Ty. There is always space behind a NJ teams fullback. That's the area to hit it gives Powell space between the lines.

Has to up his game, get to the pace and begin to impose himself on the play. On the receiving end of a few late tackles, but the midfield not playing as a unit Oh well transfer window closed they need to create some stability and be on the same wavelength Fair play to MON for stating Souttar and Collins

Prediction time. We'll keep the same formation until 80 minutes, creating zero chances in the process. Luton will fluke a goal from a corner and O'Neil will be scratching his head trying to work out what went wrong.
