Phillips is nowhere near ready starting a big must win gamePeps subs/ non subs/ tinkering have been shit this season. Wtf is Phillips doing sat on bench all the time too - new team mascot?! Still majorly wound up from yesterday
React to what! We were creating and missing chances up until their goal.I’m still mad about yesterday as well. I suspect it will a while until this game is out of our system.
I’m not one to question Pep’s substitutions very often. I usually always defer to him, but I do think he got out coached by Steve Cooper yesterday. He basically brought Ake in after the game was over yesterday. It was like Pep was asleep at the wheel after he engaged the Tesla autopilot. He was way too slow to react.
Points to poor coaching in the finishing dept.I a more pissed off with having a shiny new striker and still being as wasteful. Substitutions aren't the problem
Its not a coaching issue as such it is more to to with the mentality side.Points to poor coaching in the finishing dept.
I dont blame haaland for a second...our system has made no adaptation whatsoever to him.Shiny new striker played poorly yesterday after one of this best overall performances against Arsenal. He’s still young we forget that and unfortunately he will have some off days.
Maybe. But being wasteful in front of goal is something that goes back some way...barring a couple of seasons.Its not a coaching issue as such it is more to to with the mentality side.
Doesn't matter who is in charge we have a habit of being very wastfulMaybe. But being wasteful in front of goal is something that goes back some way...barring a couple of seasons.
Precisely.Doesn't matter who is in charge we have a habit of being very wastful
I agree with all that but yesterday he lacked his usual composure in front of goal and should have scored at least one.I dont blame haaland for a second...our system has made no adaptation whatsoever to him.
Thats why he makes runs all day long and gets ignored on key passes. I find our players ignoring him more as the season goes on. Perhaps why he hasn't scored as many this last bunch of games.
The moment was the foden pass that never was.I agree with all that but yesterday he lacked his usual composure in front of goal and should have scored at least one.
