It's painful when watching as a fan how the bleedin' obvious reasons unchecked game after game. We lack a cutting edge yet remain with a system that leaves the front man isolated. We have a defensive midfielder who showed last night he has the undoubted quality to play higher up the pitch and deliver menacing balls in the box. We have a shape in midfield that isn't designed to get enough bodies in the box and we've got a forward line unprepared to gamble.
Reality is, until we change these simple things, we're not going to threaten and with no threat, we're going to struggle. The problem now is, as we continue to struggle, the more reliance we'll have on two 'defensive' midfielders when we should be thinking the opposite.
After a decent 10 minute spell in possession last night, we threw two goals away and the confidence went. Thank God for a rocket at half time to restore some pride but unless the above is remedied, it's in vain. |  |
