We need to stop with this slow stuff

 

[pennblue]

I'd really like a second here lads

 

[heslops barnet]

We need Gundy on asap to get some composure in midfield

You sure?

Rico Lewis is taking up space in/around the box just standing there. I would prefer him to stay out wider in the final third. There are better players we need in those areas,

To be fair, a lot of the “lack of exciting football” is down to opposition tactics.

It’s difficult to put on an exhilarating, flowing attacking showcase when the opposition sit in their box for 80% of the match.

The only games that are normally deemed entertaining by neutrals are the ones with the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Real, Bayern, etc. because they involve two teams trying to attack and win the match, rather than one trying to do so and the other just trying to avoid losing at all costs.

Already been pointed out. And it's true. My last word on this particular question; did we not face similar tactics in the Centurions' and Fourmidables' seasons? Okay; maybe not quite so much in the former, given it was only Pep's second season and we hadn't pulled up any trees in the league in the previous season.

He can, he just needs to pass the ball faster.

He also needs to not take his eye off the ball. Did that several times against Wolves

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Cmon blues ffs. At this rate we will be fighting for a draw! Cmon blues!

 

[hertsblue]

This has all the makings of missing chance after chance to put the game basically to bed,then getting sucker punched ..

Yep 1 goal from 15 shots and 9 corners show where our issues are. Just not good enough in the final third
