We can see he's a tidy player on the ball, but he's one of our biggest problems, shows for the ball to feet but has absolutely no awareness at all, countless times again today he had 15 yards of space behind him to turn and run into....to break opposition lines this is a must but worryingly it isn't in his game at all... |  | | |  |

I’m guessing that’s why they’re playing in the third division. |  |

Evans can only play the way he faces. |  | | |

They’ve both been very good players in the third division. We seem to have sucked the life out of them. | |

Yep, Evans, Fraser, and to a lesser extent Morsy were all a bit of a problem for us yesterday.
Far too often Evans and Morsy play the simple ball back into the centre backs, to the extent that it just dulls any momentum we have. I get that a lot of this is about moving the opposition press around, to create space, but it also allows the opposition to get reset, and when the opposition is as defensively minded as yesterday that's a problem.
Fraser is clearly a great passer of the ball, but he has no pace at all, not much strength, and isn't really loaded with tricks, so playing him on the wing means that things often stall. I'd really like to see him have a run in the centre, but to be fair I thought Chaplin was decent there yesterday - really busy and saw a lot of the ball, plus was an effective support striker when we were on the front foot. |  |

I thought in 2nd half Morsy was better and started driving at Shrewsbury. Our problems lay in that without Celina we really struggle to take sides on in the middle this then allows them to double team our wide players and strange the life out of our game. We weren’t ruthless enough when we did win quick turnover ball. You can see what we can do when we do go for it with the disallowed offside goal. | | | |

His pass for the disallowed goal was pretty good mind you. |  |

Whilst the problem identified is certainly there, I have not seen Celinua address it so far. He doesnt drive or beat a player to open up opportunities either. | | | |

Not so sure that Morsy is guilty of slowing the ball down that often. Sometimes he has to play the sideways/backwards ball, but he did make a few breaks forward to get some momentum going. Evans needs to do more, though. I think he has the passing ability, but maybe lacking confidence atm to get things moving quicker. I do wonder if El Mizouni is getting closer to replacing him and El Mizouni has shown more energy and some bite in the tackle this season.
Fraser is a strange one. There have been some times when he’s been involved with some great interchanges up the left. But goes missing too often and does get out-muscled. I think he’s a neat footballer, though, and can spot a good pass. | | | |

Yep agree, Morsy second half was trying to make things happen for sure, I'm not convinced that he and Evans works though, ultimately we need to be better and this holding midfield area when we have the ball under no pressure like yesterday need to do more, I'm not talking about him running past players, but to turn into that space can quickly get us on the front foot..
Agree again with bringing in El Miz for LE....or at the very least make that change with 20 minutes to go, I just can't get my head around that nobody is signalling to Evans to turn, he's not even trying to receive the ball on the half turn....yet he's a damn good player, we can see that.. | | | |

Think you might be right about El Mizouni in Cook’s thoughts. Certainly for away games we could do with more of his energy on and off the ball.
Lots of moving parts in the front 4 that we haven’t really got to grips with yet. But pretty sure that with Fraser’s passing game and link up play he’ll be part of the eventual solution. |  |
