I think we're the reason the global average is as low as 83%. Honestly, you'd think this wouldn't be a problem with this many Germans in the squad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,526 Posted February 13, 2019 I'm just back from work and so disappointed to see the score ... perhaps following us now I can send some positive vibes and we can get an early goal this half Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,893 Posted February 13, 2019 Tettey and Trybull were our best midfield pairing last year; I can't believe they've forgotten how to play with each other. Both haven't played a huge number of games recently. Combine that with a good Preston side and quite a few of the rest of our team not on top form and you get the first half we've just had. Remember, we weren't exactly great against Ipswich. Keep the faith my yellow brothers and sisters, still 45 minutes for us to do what we do best.

Capt. Pants 4,250 Posted February 13, 2019 February was always goimg to be a tough month. We need to stay in contention and go again when out first choice players are back. We don't have a lot of quality on the bench right now to change things, unless we go more direct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essentially their job was to screen the back 4 so that Maddison and to a lesser extent Murphy could attack without having to worry about cover. In this system we need our midfielders to move the ball swiftly and get up and down the field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Wundaboy 1,359 Posted February 13, 2019 Tettey just cannot pick a pass. He's a great enforcer but I'm just not sure whether he's good enough to support the way we play right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In this system we need our midfielders to move the ball swiftly and get up and down the field. Whether 2 or 3 CD at the back, this year or last, Tetty is normally the more reserved/defensive of any pairing. The other CM has always been more aggressive in whatever system we've played. The aim of the systems haven't changed - create over loads in midfield to generate first paced transitions of play. Tonight: 1) they weren't coping with Preston's pace 2) have a lack of creatively/oversight in midfield 3) Aren't playing well!! 😞 ....that said we seem to be playing a lot better now any way!!!!
