But still - abject, very poor. I would say planless, but honestly I think this is the plan - so something shit 10 times and 1 out of 10 you get a chance. It does work, we do create chances. But my god is it mind bogglingly boring.
It will keep us up though. This season is just about staying up, new owners, another year clearing debt and players on high wages leaving and of course moving to the new ground. We just have to endure it. I will put up with anything as long as we stay up for this season, and I think we will stay up with this style.
A game to forget
That you can't play Doucoure as a deep lying midfielder. It was obvious that wasn't working after 15minutes and he should have changed it then.
That first half was probably one of the worst 45mins of football I've seen us play since Derby County at home on Boxing day 1998. Grim stuff
….but I doubt it.
Harrison can’t cross a ball & if he runs into one more cul-de-sac/blind alley with the ball I’ll scream
DCL doesn’t look bothered to me, & is getting bullied by every defender we play. To be fair he can’t knock long balls down to himself & the only balls to feet are when he’s on the wing (why? Get in the middle!!!)
I heard someone on R5 say Doucoure spent more time marking Gana while Berge ran free. Fair comment….
I enjoyed the Beto/Keane combo & a bit of aggression is what we need. More of that please?
