Obviously!Players aren't good enough. It's not that difficult.
Ralf told us about these players and we ignored him.
De Jong type of player.100%
We can't pass through teams because once our players receive it under pressure, they fail to shield it, and we have no one who can open a team up by dribbling past a player or two. It's a massive hindrance.
Next to zero is maybe an overreaction but certainly not enough to compete against physically organized teams.It's not just on the ball. We have next to zero physicality and aggression in the team. The likes of Rashford, Sancho and Bruno barely challenge for anything, especially in the air. Then you have the likes of Dalot and McTominay who are Championship level players.
Nothing new, the squad simply isn't good enough and no manager will fix that without replacing them with quality.
100% spot on!1) Body position of our players.
2) Passing to the wrong side of the body, behind them when advancing up the pitch.
3) Zone of the pitch players occupy, they don't vacate that area and when they do, they it's chaos.
4) Lack of technique when passing, just lazy, lacks zip, angle and spin is wrong.
5) Passing angles are too flat/horizontal and played to slow, instantly triggering the other teams press. Verticality of our passing is worst in the league.
6) We never move towards the ball when a pass comes into a player, we wait for it to arrive, allowing teams half a second to set.
7) Touch is really bad combined with the ball being received at the wrong angle.
8) We are always square on to players with the ball - you never should be at amateur level yet at pro level, here we are.
9) No off the ball movement. And when there is the lack of passing vision and technique means we don't make the pass.
Players like Dalot, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, McTominay and Fred make the above errors on a regular basis. Watch us closely and it’s obvious why we’re so poor in advancing from our own half and keeping ball possession.
