Whether that’s tactics or not, none of the midfielders are showing for the ball with any conviction, resulting in the backwards pass being the only option.
One of the defenders has to step up with the ball or Sarr has commit a midfielder. There’s enough players in that phase to play out. It’s not really to do with players further forward showing for the ball. They are there but they’re going to have a player right up them unless you want them all to start dropping deeper. You need to disrupt the shape of the opposition in the first phase to create space for the players further forward.

Nothing to do with it

Confidence is the missing ingredient.
 
So what you saying... I can go after the Franatics now? I don't have to wait until 9.30 pm Tuesday?

Interesting...

Does this confirm Ange is better than Frank now, because for 24 weeks all I've heard from CJJ CJJ is that Frank has more points than Ange at the same stage of the season... its like a broken record... the depths they go to defend the indefensible is ridiculous... que, string of Franatics accusing me of loving Ange 🙄

What you're missing there is that you're seeing a "Franatic", whereas the argument was "They are both shit - but this shit one is actually not as bad as the very shit one people are still obsessed with"

Try to look at things less 2-dimensionally. That is the problem with the people you're defending, who see Frank the failure as some fucking dumb reason to say we shouldn't have sacked the last fraud

And these people can't get it in to there heads.

Giving someone a chance, doesn't mean you support them, it just means you giving them a chance.

I didn't want Frank, but I gave him chance.

The mental gymnastics they go through, to write the crap they post is of another level.

It's insane.
 
That failed to use Djed and Reg, properly, coz he was such a coward... Then realised he fucked up, when he had to play Djed, coz his shit management finally broke Porro.

That brave manager?

It’s like going to a curry house and getting a curry with no spicy, you ask them to fix it and they come back after putting a Carolina Reaper in it. Everything about the change from Ange to Frank was bloody stupid.
There’s also the message it sent.

Ange was awful in the league and it rightly cost him his job.

However the emotional relief of breaking the trophy drought - with the players largely onside - meant that he should have been replaced with a serious person with clout.

Imagine Chelsea replacing Claudio Ranieri with Alan Curbishley in 2004. That’s basically what we did.
