We saw a few kick-offs from us today unfortunately. This made it clear how many times we pass the ball back and then bang a high, hopeful ball up to Leif on the left. At one we had 3 players lined up on half-way ready, which City clearly noticed & they won the ball back without being taken by surprise.
I’m fine with this but similar to
- substitutions always at the same time every game
- playing out from the back (less consistent now with Walton as he will kick it long if needed)
- Davis’ corners even though, for some unknown reason, he often fails to beat the first man
Does this not make us a bit too predictable, for any opposition, not just those at the level we saw today?
I’d like to think we give players license to do what they think best given the situation they find themselves in but not sure that is the case as they seem to do the same things time & again.
Note this isn’t just a reaction to a tough result today it is something noticeable throughout this season and prior. It’s obviously worked well for us but we need to grow our tactics and approach particularly when they are not working. |  | | |  |

We know players at this level are so much better than those below, in the same way managers and their support staff are so much better at analysing our ways and countering them than those below. | |
