They are young and having trouble adjusting to a new coach, new system, and the pressures of being perfect because that’s what our fans expect.
I think 5. The one I think we may not is CB unless there is a free agent or young talent we can get on the cheapSo how many of those six positions listed are we going to be addressing this summer do you think?
And also some are not good enough young or notThey are young and having trouble adjusting to a new coach, new system, and the pressures of being perfect because that’s what our fans expect.
Same with most clubs in the leagueDo we even have attacking talent
Liverpool have 6 players
Darain,gakpo, Zota, Salah, diaz
Their midfielders can hit goals too
We have
Garnacho
Amad
Hojlund
Bruno
Who else ? Now see the difference in quality between our forwards and theirs
..
Same with City..
We have seen the players in more than one formation. We have not seen better players in this formation.The players are poor and the formation is awful. It really is that simple.
Would you take Tah on a free, there must be some shrewd ones out there this summer?I think 5. The one I think we may not is CB unless there is a free agent or young talent we can get on the cheap
Yes of course but I think he will go elsewhereWould you take Tah on a free, there must be some shrewd ones out there this summer?
Good post. It contributes to Hojlands frustration and our lack of goals from other attacking playersOur 2 10's don't get into the box. What should be happening in a 3-4-3 is the 2 wing backs are your width, and they can cross to the striker and 2 10's in the box. The way we play, as our wing backs aren't dynamic/good enough to actually get to the byline and cross, our 2 10's play as wingers which means there is only really one target in the box, and then we're restricted to a cut back for the defensive midfielders to run on to, but they don't do that, so attacks fizzle out.
What's annoying is that a bloke sat at home can see this, so why can't a team of professional footballers/managers? It's hardly rocket science.Good post. It contributes to Hojlands frustration and our lack of goals from other attacking players
I'm sure they see it. Fixing issues is always harder than identifying them.What's annoying is that a bloke sat at home can see this, so why can't a team of professional footballers/managers? It's hardly rocket science.
He's not started great, but I'll give him some time to get used to the premier league before I write him off.The worrying thing about that is we’ve bought dorgu for that reason you would think.
I think delap for the price is sensible.Yeah I get the concern about buying players just for him, however wouldn't see Cunha/Delap like that. I also understand your point about not having a proper DOF, weren't we loosely linked with a move for Jorge Campos.

Yeah wouldn't argue with thatOur recruitment has been garbage for a long time. Even our best players aren’t as good as we believe them to be.
The fact they are so inexperienced should set alarm bells going with the INEOS clowns to buy someone EXPERIENCED which isn't Delap that's for sureIt’s easy to solely blame our attackers but the system doesn’t get the best out of any of them.
We have an inexperienced set of forwards whose quality is debatable anyway. We support that by lining up with 5 defenders, and at least one (sometimes two) defensive midfielders.
Is anyone surprised we struggle to score?

Yeah there is no doubt our wing backs aren't good enough for Ruben's system, unfortunately we haven't the budget to fix that, attack, GK and add someone in the midfield tooMost of our attack consists of inexperienced players who also started to show lack of real quality. You would expect from Hojlund and Garnacho to step up but it didn't happen.
Amad and Bruno are the only ones who can create something.
Also our players lack physical qualities.
The system isn't that great either, we attack with 3 players because our wingers do not have any attacking qualities. Teams like Inter or Leverkusen who also play 3 at the back, have players like Dimarco, Dumfries, Grimaldo and Frimpong who can assist and score a lot of goals per season. Don't see that ever happening with Dalot and Dorgu.

Wolves play the same formation and Cunha's doing fine for them. Conte won the league playing this formation; likewise Tuchel the CL.The players are poor and the formation is awful. It really is that simple.
What do you like about this formation?Wolves play the same formation and Cunha's doing fine for them. Conte won the league playing this formation; likewise Tuchel the CL.
Systems are only as good as you make them via players and coaching. Those formations all had 1 winger at WB. This one thus needs Amad (or similar) at RWB. It should be 4 defenders 3 midfielders, 3 attackers, just positioned differently (and with different levels of freedom)What do you like about this formation?
