Watching the game yesterday Wolves would box our players in, cutting off any angles to get out or pass, they were working together in pairs or more.

Our players are constantly isolated with so much individual work to get through
We get lots of players in the oppositions half and then they stand there stagnant. The players pass it and then offer nothing, no movement to offer a return pass. If attack is your only game plan, you should at least be good at it

Have attacking players always making minimal of 3 touches to allow opposition in comfortable defensive positions ✅
Pass the ball back very often, have more possession and then claim to have been "controlling the game" afterwards ✅
Have midfielder dribble on own half without having defenders behind him to mop up potential danger ✅

that point really makes me wanna smoke, and i dont smoke. It's such an easy tweak to stop that from happening, the number 6 doesn't need to push on also if your inverted full backs are pushed up, whether wide or inside.
Bentancur just needs to sit in-between VDV and Romero.
If there's a transition moment then it's effectively a back 3 which is gonna have an easier job holding up the attack until one of the full backs drop back in to make it a 4.

It somewhat worked at the start of last season due to VDV but this season with him missing most of the games it's a fruitless exercise
 
There is clearly something going on at the club that is far bigger than we have been told.

We have had some insights, with Romero calling out the medical team, and we now are told somebody leaking lineups and tactics.

I suspect there is a lot more going on behind the scenes this season and this summer I'm pretty sure we will get some bombshell news. Looks like some sort of sabotage.
It's been said before that there is no pressure on the players or coach to achieve anything but top 4. Financially, there seems to be no incentive to win anything beyond that.

The players and staff will have signed NDAs - but I suspect once the season ends, we will hear a whole lot more about what's going on behind the scenes.

Hostile takeover? Coup against Levy? Is this a 'staged' collapse to force Levy out of the club?

We know that the club has been actively looking to seek external funding. With potentially billions at stake, it's not outside the realms of possibility that external parties are sabotaging the club to drive down the value.

Mate, you've been as find out as your idol's tactics in EPL.

We are absolutely pathetic shit on the field. Have been for way more than a year. One player does not know what the other is doing.
Yet you cannot admit that and are looking for "something far bigger going on behind the scenes" and all the wild theories.

When in reality we have been unmanaged team for so long, it is all falling apart because there is no one left that could even accept the idealess professional loser at helm. Never mind word respect. This has been very long gone. I am ashamed of such person ever have had anything to do with my beloved club honestly. Arrogant, immature beyond belief, extremely sensitive/thin skin, absolutely no ability. All talk and no ability.
 
Lol, another troll from an ex-player who acts like he has the best interest of our club.

Fun fact!

My mate used to live in the same apartment block in Manchester as Saha. He used to come home pissed in the early hours almost every night and his girlfriend would always scream at him for wiping his bum with towels and leaving them on the towel rail.
