Blowing up balloons , apparently
The club have heard you allegedly
Exactly the same things Bentancur is. Nothing. Sell both fire the manager buy two new midfielders and forwards.
Was playing better than Bentancur, so of course he was taken off.
That was early on the season, before Ange implementing his stupid tactics probably. He had more space to play and was way more agressive of the ball. The change to a midfield one when he have the ball don't allow him to drible and progress as much as he's done because he doesn't have any support there. Defensively I think he was advised to not be so agressive after the two red. I much more prefere his reckless tackles than this boring version of his, he's been sent off some times bur generally it paid of when he stayed on the pitch and now we have backup for him.I genuinely thought he was going to be the best 6 in the world last season.
Don't think I've ever been more disappointed with the regression of a single player before. Maybe Dele but that was sad rather than infuriating.
But whenever lineups are announced I still look 6 and wish "good Biss" was there... Fml
100% - Biss and Benta have looked shite for a while … but is it Biss and Benta or is it Ange’s stupid tactics? Our #6s are told to an impossible job - isolated and left alone to cover acres of space in defense or left to progress the ball by THEMSELVES as everyone else bombs forward. The tactics are insane and stupid - I think Rodri would look like a clown in this system.And the fact that a lot of our fans are judging players under the fat fuck annoys me a lot. Who's doing a great job? Look at those idiotic tactics by that clown, no one is allowed to play his position, everything is a mess and who's playing well is taken off. It's completely chaos and I'm afraid players can't recover from training under this donkey.
Tbh I've watched Wharton last couple of games and he's a proper centre mid. I'd go all out for him this summer.Exactly the same things Bentancur is. Nothing. Sell both fire the manager buy two new midfielders and forwards.
Agreed and it’s something that many posters don’t seem to get. Ange’s crazy system is largely to blame for our players. Fullbacks who go forward ,invert into midfield.Centrenacks who then have to cover for the fullbacks who are still upfield when balls are played upfield by the opposition. Therefore the centre of defence is weakened and our 6 has to cover and our 6s are not great .Thats just 1 thing, there’s numerous problems with Angeball and the style of play, eg. are ridiculous. Hw will not change or is not capable of changing. We are the most poorly coached team in the Premiership. Considering we have the best stadium, the best training centre and medical facilities it’s a case of having the best staff working in them, coaches, medical staff . Then come the players.How can anyone say that Richarlison and Johnson are top 6 players is beyond me. In the Summer Imbet we’ll look at players on frees or ones that are nearing the end of a contract100% - Biss and Benta have looked shite for a while … but is it Biss and Benta or is it Ange’s stupid tactics? Our #6s are told to an impossible job - isolated and left alone to cover acres of space in defense or left to progress the ball by THEMSELVES as everyone else bombs forward. The tactics are insane and stupid - I think Rodri would look like a clown in this system.
Not judging any of our players now - None of our players look good (except maybe Spence) under this system. When no one is playing well/everyone is regressing, there’s has to be something systematic that’s wrong …
him, gray and bergvall would set us up for a decade in midfield.Tbh I've watched Wharton last couple of games and he's a proper centre mid. I'd go all out for him this summer.
