Correct in that the current league table is the most relevent, but this is the tactics thread. The tables BC posts are revealing of the tactical setup we employ under Postecoglou.
 
All the stats are meaningless if we don’t win enough games because it’s fair to say the tactics aren’t working or being executed well enough.

Bielsa’s Leeds would likely have been high on a lot of these charts near Man City, means fk all really.
 
Our GD is still good level with the blue scum and better than the original scum but we are not 4th or 5th but 8th and way off so what is going wrong?

Quite simply, we are typically brilliant for most of the game but have blips where we lose concentration. We really should have picked up points against leicester, Newcastle, Woolwich and Brighton - We were by far the better team in those games. Palace, we deserved to lose.

The blips tend to center around mistakes by individual players rather than the system. Typically from our back 4 making silly errors. We have typically dominated the ball in games; and it seems that when the opposition gets some sustained possession we are unprepared.

We probably need to spend some time in games without the ball; to let our defenders get used to playing without the ball.
 
most of our goals are scored on breakaways, not by high line and possession,
Sp most of our gaols are scored using Jose or Conte ball NOT Angeball
 
I always claim not to follow football which is mainly true but I did watch MOTD last week due to lots of goals.
I watched as Whiners FC put a ball over the much vaunted Scum defence cross and score.
Who outlawed the long ball at THFC (asking for an Italian GK friend)
