Lacking 17:11 - Aug 23 with 259 views | Jack27 | There is something seriously lacking from our play. We seem ok defensively - but still make very poor decisions and errors. Midfield...Matusiwa looks solid. Jens will make a difference...but Taylor is way off. What worries me the most is our attack. It''s just not there. Hirst is far too slow and absolutely not the answer to this formation. He's fine to come on for 20 minutes at the end. Jaden will get better. Jack Clarke is no where near. SS - I'm not sure his position in this formation suits him - again he's too slow. I don't know anything about Akpom - I don't know where his best position is or where he'll even play. McAteer - he seems a bizarre signing, which is backed up by what I saw of him today. Very early days of course. Ogbene - he seems quite direct, maybe a better version of Kayden Jackson. For me, we look better when Ashley Young plays. He needs to start ahead of Johnson. We're crying out for another good midfielder and we desperately need a striker. |  | | |  |
Lacking on 17:12 - Aug 23 with 251 views | ArnieM | No Morsy. Weve not got an effective midfield. No leader in the middle. Matusiwa is still finding his feet. Taylor is weak. And Cajuste remains on the bench. McKenna persists with Clarke, and Philogene (although the latter looked slightly better v Saints). There's poor service to our forwards and poor protection for our defence .. all from midfield. Having said that " its about kicking the ball in the net" apparently, which we cant do. Answers on a postcard from those more informed. [Post edited 23 Aug 17:18]
