OTBC Agreed with both. Getting decent money for Aarons, Godfrey and Lewis wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. It might even force us to tweak the whole way we play - with less emphasis on marauding full backs and more balance to the side. Can probably pick up solid reliable defenders for less than we can sell those three, meaning we can maybe use the balance to bring in a quality Tettey replacement or additional striking option....

sonyc 5,541 Posted July 11, 2020 3 minutes ago, Aggy said: Agreed with this and your previous post re Idah. Chucking him in at the deep end “right, it’s your job to score the goals to keep us up” would have been poor, even as second choice behind Pukki but ahead of Drmic. Now we’re down (even an argument for him to be in the starting line up today to be honest), I wouldn’t be averse to giving him much more game time. No pressure. I said elsewhere - if I was a young player I’d be buzzing to be given the chance to play against Chelsea and Man City in a competitive match but one where I basically have no pressure because the rest of the squad has already got us relegated. You might hope Adam starts in the next 3. Relegation is confirmed later today, barring a miracle. And it's time to try something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted July 11, 2020 A lack of confidence has a massive effect, but this seems more than just that to me. Something quite clearly is not right. Even with squad overhaul next season I don't see Farke turning it around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted July 11, 2020 Klose is a liability - the second goal should have been his to clear And here's a bizarre idea - mark the farken opposition, which means getting rid of the stupidest of stupidest ideas ..... zonal marking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Using the full-backs as wingers is fine if: 1) Other players cover their runs. 2) The full-backs then get a quantity ball in the box. In our case, neither has happened enough this season.
