He is a good player but a big issue is for the central midfielders is that when we are in possession, the ball takes too long to get to them at times by the defenders who dither on the ball at times and slow everything down meaning opposition easilly get back into shape which in turn limits the opportunity for the midfield to play a decisive forward pass at times then the biggest issue is the absolute shit and non existent movemove of the front players, particularly the wide men who rarely run in behind or take up a really threatening attacking position and are happy to just stand there and hope the ball comes to them. I definitely think we could do with more creativity at times but the way this team is set up to play slowly allowing opposition to sit back makes it very difficult when the forwards are so static.

Have you ever thought the ball doesnt get to them quickly because they are not open? It looks awful when you see defenders sitting on the ball shifting it side to side but you don't want them pushing the ball into our midfield and turning it over.

I agree but the bit that gives me the shits is no one is effing moving , giving options or drawing opposition players to open spaces .
I've got no idea what they train to do in a game but it's clearly not basic football .
