Also:
quality of passing - especially from our defenders! Look at the ball when our defenders pass it to one another or someone else and the ball only just reaches the bloody man like a trickle of piss down the pavement!
backing off - again, unfortunately, with our defenders! Look at them when someone from the opposition is running, jogging, walking or even standing still with the ball - they are sometimes 5 yards away, bending really low down, allowing them to do what they want with the ball (run with it, cross it, shoot!).
panic stations - defenders again :( ! How many times have we seen our defenders completely lose their composure and make mistakes with or without the ball!? They have all played football from a young age and still make jouvinile mistakes through bloody panicking in a situation that they can remain calm in! The Premier Lg may be a fast league compared to the Italian Serie A but if our lads just looked up and analysed their surroundings (should take less than a second at that level) they will see that there is usually an easy option to take, and panicking isnt it!
Organisation/talking on the pitch - if Vincent Kompany is not playing nobody in our team takes the initiative to lead and organise (verbally, visually, leading by example, encouraging, bollocking etc) to the rest of the team! I sit on Row P in the East Stand Level 1, right on the half-way line, and see an excellent view and can hear the players on quieter days (like yesterday) and the only man doing any sort of organisation yesterday was Nigel de Jong - and he is certainly not a senior player of the sqaud! Neither is Kompany but he is very good at it! Is it a co-incidence that we have had a big slump recently (6 games, 1 win, 5 defeats, 2 goals for, 11 against) and it is at a time when Kompany is not in the team or is not fully fit when he is in the team!????
Tenacity/Work ethic - mentioned it before about when we have the ball and dont work hard enough to create space for ourselves to be passed to! But also when the opposition has got the ball, the desire of some of our players or us as a whole team is sometimes appalling! As a team we do not put enough pressure on the oppostion to force them to make mistakes, we do not track back with forward runners well enough, some players think one good run back and tackle is enough to stand in an attacking position doing very little for 10 minutes (this includes everyone) - as a team it is not of a high enough standard!
These are not even tactical things, they are just things that are not up to a good enough standard in our squad! With none of the things i have mentioned do you have to be a world class, world star - they are mainly common sense and things that a Premier Lg footballer should be shit hot at!
