The Great Mass Debater 1,078 Posted September 18, 2021 I think part of the problem is the lack of cohesion. We have a lot of new signings and the understanding isnt there so far. Kabak and Hanley have no understanding at all it seems.

NFN FC 1,123 Posted September 18, 2021 2 minutes ago, By Hook or Ian crook said: Defending isn’t just about the 4 at the back (who have been a shambles) it’s a team effort and starts from the front. The depressing lack of high press to try and win the ball back on the opponent’s half is nothing short of heart breaking for me Whenever we have actually pressed Watford look shaky. We absolutely needed to push them more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not so much faze.....it's more......I think he has the tools at last to make a decent fist of it. But, just seems utterly bereft of ideas! Why ditch 4-2-3-1 which has done well for us in the past? We need a link between midfield and striker(s). If we're getting bossed in the middle why play Gilmore?

Samwam27 519 Posted September 18, 2021 Have been saying, and hoping, once we got Normann, that would allow us to go 4-2-3-1. Thought we'd adopt it against Watford, but we've been outplayed and out-muscled now against poor Arsenal, and now an average watford. 4-3-3 just doesn't work. Am beginning to wonder if Gilmour is too lightweight and trying to fit him in, isn't going to work One could forgive Kabak who hasn't played and may not have been match fit/sharp. He'll adapt, but we persist we Hanley. Bring back Omo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robertociNCFC 98 Posted September 18, 2021 Look i've been supportive of Farke's reign throughout his entire time here and even attended almost every home game during the dismal 17-18 season. But when do you say enough is enough? He has been fantastic for us in the Championship and really cemented us a big fish in that league, but his style just doesn't translate to the top flight. It just feels like we have no game plan going forwards and we are scythed through too easily time and time again. I was hopeful after the defensive improvements to last season but we can see how well that's served us this season. As i've said in another thread, how can you excuse this after last time around and the rubbish start we have made to this one. Look what Lambert got out of the squad we had back in the 11-12 season and hell even Alex Neils group gave a better fight of things during his time here, it's just getting frustrating watching us stroll through games without any intensity to our attacks whilst even Watford look better drilled than us. Sorry just wanted to vent, getting incredibly frustrating to watch this game after game. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted September 18, 2021 How can anyone still defend our defensive shambles under Farke? We continually make the same mistakes, game after game, month after month, year after year. How can we win a game when we can't even do the basics? It's just not good enough.
