| O'Shea passing at the back. 14:17 - Dec 26 with 651 views | DublinBlue84 | The number of times in recent games he has played short passes directly to the opposition. It's becoming a concern, must have happened about half a dozen times since the Norwich match. [Post edited 26 Dec 14:17]

| O'Shea passing at the back. on 15:15 - Dec 26 with 545 views | BlueMoon | He seems to be set up as a ‘quarterback’ from where we build play from. Not a criticism of him necessarily but he’s not quick enough to do it. Think this is as much a short-coming of the lack of creativity in the midfield. |  | |  |

| O'Shea passing at the back. on 16:34 - Dec 26 with 467 views | Stenvict | It seems as though whenever we start an attack, it has to start with O'Shea passing to Matusiwa. His passing is good, but sometimes needlessly puts us in danger. |  |

Morsy never made this many mistakes, and dealt with far more high pressure situations |  | |  |

This is it. I was watching Arsenal play out from the back recently, same tactic but so much quicker and more decisive with the passing. We just don't look very comfortable doing it and that causes sloppy passes. [Post edited 26 Dec 17:29]

Weirdly I think there are some similarities between us and them in how we control the game when we are winning. Unfortunately going a goal up has been the hard part |  | |  |
| O'Shea passing at the back. on 17:15 - Dec 26 with 341 views | ITFCSG | If they can't they should just go long and direct. Brainwashed to play one way and unable to adapt on the fly during matches? Wtaching some of our patterns of play its like teaching a North Korean the concept of Western liberal democracy. Ffs. [Post edited 26 Dec 17:20]

Going long and direct with Azon as our no.9 would be a good way of giving possession back to the opposition. What I don't understand is why Walton dallies on the ball so much, as if we were wanting to run down the clock. He then passes is short to O'Shea & by the time he gets the ball, everyone is marked & he plays a near suicidal pass to the tightly marked Matusiwa. |  |

Its not only Walton, basically the entire backline and even some of our wingers dallies on the ball and either plays it short or pass backwards. This allows the opposition to reset and once again we struggle to break them down because 90% of the time we'd be facing a low block again instead of hitting them on the break with speed |  | |  |
