I would say our biggest problem is off the ball movement around the opponents box, we tend to stand and admire rather than look to move into space. A point well made on a couple of our matches where the commentators said "They pass to feet, not to space".

Lo Celso looks the exception to this rule, I'd like Van De Beek instead of Fernandes or Zaha, some of his movement is a joy to watch.

The off the ball movement is what is killing us at the moment.

They just stand there like postboxes. It's no wonder we can't pass the ball through midfield. The other team just man mark and everyone wonders why we find it difficult to play football.

Only bit of real off the ball movement I've seen this season was when kane scored the second goal against Southampton at home this season.

The off the ball movement aspect is down to the coaching. It was a problem under Poch and now with Mourinho

But pro players should know that you need to move off the ball to create space for yourself or others.

My u11 team I coach know this. I don't have to tell them.

I get frustrated that players need to be molly coddled and told to do everything by the coach. Work it out for yourself.
 
Watching with interest this window if Eriksen actually has any genuine suitors, surly the modest fee that’s required should really have them climbing all over him.

He’s going to be one moody bastard for the rest of the season if two windows come and go and his services are still not required by the elite football clubs of the world.

He's actually scored 10 in 16 over there (after he started to get game time)

Maybe we can scout out a DM in the Austrian, Portugese or Belgian leagues? If Leicester can find Ndidi in Belgium then why can't we?

Nabil Bentaleb Nabil Bentaleb are there any DMs in Portugal that could play in the prem in your opinion?

Florentino like our mate Oracle Oracle said will be a very good player in a couple years. The time to buy him is before he explodes imo. Porto also as Danilo a made player that would be a giant upgrade on what we have for sure.
oh and Ruben dias and Alex telles as well. But for the defence.
 
Here's what is really pissing me the fuck off about this transfer window... my work has decided to block twitter and I can't see a fucking thing y'all are posting. Trump's America is hard to live in.
