Are you guys also really enjoying Ugarte? He's been very good on the ball besides winning the ball back often.

I’d actually try mount at the wingback position. He’s got a good cross on him and excellent defensive work rate.

As a 10 he has been invisible so far.

This could work well. Has a bit of Nuno Santos about him

Very specific instructions for Dalot here.

Their captain Patrick Berg seems like a good player in the no. 6 position (he wears no. 7).

He is a very good player.

Rustyspider13 · Nov 28, 2024

Amorim is proactive, that's good to see.

JediSith · Nov 28, 2024

The most annoying thing is the commentary and how whenever there’s a mistake or we concede goal they keep going on about the system & formation. It’s like one of those passive hating things. it’s really ruining the enjoyment of the match

Mainstay for the NT. Bought by Lens, didn't get a chance so he rejoined B/G.

Something will be tried early on.

Maybe ETH was on to something with Maz as no10. He's the only technical sound player we have, certainly feels like that sometime.

Nah, whatever EtH was smoking I don't want.

Mazraoui's technical level being levels above the rest of team tells more about the recruitment than his ability to play as a #10 (hint: he can't).

Houdini · Nov 28, 2024

Our flanks are crap.

Some real morons in punditry and commentary...

What are they banging on about, keep mentioning Martinez going in tight on the Bodo wide player for the first goal...I heard the phrase from Karen Carney "leaving Malacia one on one"....it was a 40-yard pass and we had three defenders vs two attackers...no system in the World can compensate for very poor play from an individual. Malacia was simply beaten far, far too easily

Can’t remember who, may be Carragher said Mazraoui wouldn’t be in our first team for long. He’s our best player!

Yeah if he gets the ball more he can actually do something. I’m not his biggest fan but Antony didn’t pass the ball at least 3-4 times when Mount had space to run into.

Yeah. I saw that also. Probably if Amad playing as RWB, his runs would be maximized.

Dec9003 · Nov 28, 2024

Makes sense to take Malacia off, he’s going to need time to get to his best.

Tincanalley · Nov 28, 2024

Dalot on

Dazzmondo · Nov 28, 2024

Dalot replaces Malacia. Good move.

Ricardo de la Vega · Nov 28, 2024

He's not.

He has a great conversion rate, but struggles to get in goal scoring positions. His all-round play is also really poor.

That peach of a cross from Mazraoui allowed him to shine and it was a fantastic finish, but that's Bodo Glimt.

This is rubbish with respect. His all round play is excellent. He's a physical monster, holds the ball up well, lays it off well, makes good runs and gets into good scoring positions many times a game. He just doesn't get delivery. Thats it. The kid is a beast.

DevilRed · Nov 28, 2024

Dalot on for malacia. Good change.

“You see all that stuff Malacia did? Not that”

JBG · Nov 28, 2024

If we are going to persist with crosses, at least have a player that can cross with his fav foot on each side.

I have no doubt our CBs will see more 1v1 situations, this is why I am not sure if Martinez will succeed in the LCB position where he’s expected to cover grounds and the wide space.

Richard Dunne thinks “these are players who are over coached by this manager”.

Yeah Dickie, those 4 or 5 sessions he’s had with them were absolute overkill alright.

These lads getting paid actual money to share such thunderous thickness never fails to baffle me.

Would love to see a research study to learn how many people actually watch half and full time studio reactions

Idiots on all platforms making clueless and ill informed statements.

I literally mute it every time and busy myself until second half starts.

Probably makes them think they’re x million viewers are all tuned in to their every word

Theon · Nov 28, 2024

Surprised he hasn’t moved Antony to the left and put Dalot at RWB.

kidbob · Nov 28, 2024

Think I’d rather natural footed players as wing backs for the moment. Shaw on the left and Maz or Dalot on the right until our centre halves get used to the system.

Berbaclass · Nov 28, 2024

Savage is a moron

Hargreaves was quality and a starter during the double season, hardly comparable. But agree on Malacia, he has never been good enough - especially as a backup to an injury-prone player.

Yes I agree, Hargreaves was a quality player, no doubt. But it was so funny to see Redcafe talking about him as the greatest midfielder ever, and a key player for us, when he hadn’t play for two years. The longer the injury, the better he was according to Redcafe. It was the opposite of recency biaz basicly.
But that is normal though, every fans do it.

I agree and I wasn't being serious. Sad state our team when you see how technically bad they are in possession.

Savage is soooooo stupid

Not true, even his critics acknowledge he's a good finisher, but there are still a lot of shortcomings to his game which hopefully Amorim can help rectify.

Uhm, there was a post recently in his thread with exactly those words - “can’t hit a barn door”. Literally. And many claim that he has a bad first touch and technique (not just inconsistent, but bad).

Malacia needed pulling but I don't like the fact neither wing back is playing on their natural feet. Just let them cross it on their natural sides.

FootyGirl88 · Nov 28, 2024

What is savage even talking about

jem · Nov 28, 2024

My God Savage is obsessed with 4-3-2-1

mitchmouse · Nov 28, 2024

does this ref know what a foul is?

santeria13 · Nov 28, 2024

Clear back 3 line. Savage: 'Look there's 4 at the back'

Wolfbot · Nov 28, 2024

Enjoying that I can see clear signs of the pluses of the system being used which I'd something I couldn't ever say I saw under Ten Hag. We've retained the ball much better further up the pitch, looked quite slick at times although the final balls have left something to be desired most of the time.

Have got the wingbacks in behind quite a few times and used diagonal balls out wide to good effect.

Stung by a couple of counters with players not getting back into position quickly enough. Though the Norwegian team have played quite well and really made good use of them though, great goals.

Bruno was a bit was deeper as well so that's something else he'll need to sort.

2 man midfield · Nov 28, 2024

Is savage drunk?

Jules_T · Nov 28, 2024

Just seen the average position of the players on BBC. Looks to me that Garnacho and Mount need to play more centrally. Are they being dragged out of position or is the press causing that?

Paul778 · Nov 28, 2024

Savage is driving me crazy

Wrecking ralf · Nov 28, 2024

Who the feck does Robbie Savage think he is.
