norfolkngood 1,070 Posted December 7, 2015 when you watch other teams they always seem faster / tactics more fluid a lot less static watching the games over the weekend other teams interchange so much better wingers swapping , midfielders in the box , fullbacks over lapping players roaming everywhere with ease pulling teams all over the pitch ,the way Watford pressed us was fantastic but we seem scared to leave our postion to press them back we seem far to static players set in the positions scared to roam move about the pitch seems over coaching over instruction from the management / coaching Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lessingham Canary 99 Posted December 7, 2015 Wasn''t good at Southampton either. but was good at Sunderland, my point is following football some weeks are good and some not so ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,070 Posted December 7, 2015 one win in ten would say not good enough in more games than good ........... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted December 7, 2015 Yep, would all have hoped for more I''m sure, too many silly individual mistakes costing goals and points, but also mitigating circumstances in certain games also could apply (ref v palace at least a point, goalkeeping heroics v stoke) to add a sense of balance.

AJ 1,218 Posted December 7, 2015 It''s not all about us, it depends on what the opposition do. If there''s limited space and high pressing (like Watford did to us) then we find it hard to get into the game.If teams sit off us and attack us (Arsenal) then we can break and do our thing.

norfolkngood 1,070 Posted December 7, 2015 yes but if we were less static it gives the other team more to think about we just seem to rigid sticking to positions in my opinion or course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,352 Posted December 7, 2015 That''s a strange comment about Newcastle. Did you watch the game? I thought we were quite fluid that day. Certainly a lot more so than yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowbeagle 0 Posted December 7, 2015 There was nothing wrong with our early performances which were in general good apart from we didn''t defend set pieces correctly. Trouble is we''ve thrown the baby out with the bath water, when really it shouldn''t have needed a defensive approach to games just defensive concentration/organisation when we give a set piece away.
