Mason 47 1,384 Posted December 29, 2023 3 minutes ago, Terminally Yellow said: I couldn't understand why McLean was moved to a more advanced position and Sara dropped into the role Nunez has been playing. Just odd. And, although I'm not a Kenny hater, I think it was achingly obvious that Nunez is now a much better fit for that deep role than the others. KM a half a second or so behind where Marcelino has been and it shows. None of this changes the overarching fact that 'Sara + Someone Else' does not a midfield make. It's a test even for me that we persist with an obviously broken system. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unique 435 Posted December 29, 2023 Did any of our Four impotent strikers have a shot on target tonight that tested their goalkeeper? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barnes attempt in the first minute probably should have been a goal and perhaps the games different but that's ifs and maybes. Really disappointed that Sara played the entire game as if he was protecting himself physically whilst showing no intention of taking responsibility and actually playing a forward pass. A problem, when he's the one with the quality to make it happen. Oh and Fassnacht doesn't scare any defenders. Too easy to defend against. the best defender on the pitch is argos but for the other team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't score if you aren't provided the service though. Genuinely think our strikers are not the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, as good a chance as you are likely to get, and in the first minute of the game. How that would have changed everything. He was probably too busy thinking about who he was going to pick a fight with next to concentrate on where to put the ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
