Casemiro on for Mainoo would be great. Would also take Eriksen on for Mainoo.
Just need another midfielder who will show, create space for others, and take more risks going forward.
Also would like to see Zirkzee on for Garnacho and ask hojlund to stop dropping deep (he can’t hold up the ball well) and start running the channels.
Think we could overwhelm them if Hojlund keeps the CBs pinned and we have ZZ + Bruno dropping in.One of our CBs should be braver and step up with the ball. All three are shit scared of making a mistake and are playing it safe every time. Then eventually hoofing it to Forest anyway. It's shit. Mainoo having a nothing game and hiding isn't helping either. Ugarte and Bruno doing most of the work in the middle. They need help.Apart from the first two mins a solid and dominant performance.
You see what you want to see, I suppose.
You should ask yourself why is he doing it ?
Hasn’t had to do much at all, mainly sideways passes.It's a decent half good goal. Sort out the set pieces and we go on win the game.
DL is giving the ball away he's better than that . Ugarte been great Mainoo need more out of him .
This is much better than what we saw from the majority of ETH’s time here. At least you can actually see a system. We just don’t have the right players at the moment.I thought we played quite well, need to sort out our setpiece defending drastically but I'd be disappointed if we don't go onto win.We’re miles off it but it’s night and day to the Ten Hag slop yet it’s the same players. But you wouldn’t know that with some of the comments in here.
I agree. I think he's been very underwhelming for a while and a tad overrated on here. I think casemiro ugarte is our best midfield 2
Agreed. Don't understand the LvG comparison at all. Amorim is nothing like him.
He has not been involved that much. A bit anonymous
Apart from when we actually scored right?The lack of technical abilities from our attacking players are pretty apparent and height is a big concern when we only have one player in the team that is strong in the air.I don’t know why anyone is surprised at our lack of offense. This is the worst front line we’ve had in decades. I barely remember a less talented and out of form set of forwards/wingers.We need a ball magnet among the front three, someone who gets on the ball and kick starts a chain reaction. Amad is the player with that skillset.Please sub casemiro for Garnacho and maz for mainoo, then move amad to 10. Please don’t be another stubborn coach. PleaseThought we have been good for the most part. You can still see the issues that Amorim is going to take a while to fix but you can also see the changes he has made and how they should and can work when executed. Quite a few good moves that just break down at the last. Either a poor final ball or no one on the end of it.
Not sure how people can watch this and be miserable after watching us under EtH. This is clearly miles better.
His corners have been shocking but he’s been ok apart from that
He is fine but his connection with Amad is missing. Will get there eventually after playing together more often.
Yep
100% agree! I’ve enjoyed that half, thought we played well and played some good stuff, stop fecking moaning and enjoy it!Annoying to concede so early from what was poor defending in a corner. We're obviously a bit shook when it comes to defending corners right now.
Overall though I think we've played decently. Hopefully we can step it up a little bit in the second half.Not great, not terrible.
The chaos is from set pieces, were hopeless on them under the last manager and that form carried on with the new manager. According to the stats only Southampton,Wolves are worse on set pieces this season.
Wait some people on here think we were bad that half?
Apart from defending set pieces, a few missed passes and sometimes taking a while to build up from the back I thought we looked pretty good.The problem is our poor buildup. Take too long to get the ball up.
And that is just the team not being in sync, defenders hesitating to play the ball, and midfielders not making space. Too much of our play is stagnating in the middle.
Right I thought the majority of fans wanted us to take care of the ball better? Now because we are no longer as reckless in possession, Amorim is the new LvG.
It might take a few more games but Amorim i think has already realised the our choice of forward 6 just do not have the physicality, pace, technical ability or game intelligence to be effective enough for his system.
But getting rid of most of these 6 wouldn't even raise enough to buy 1 quality striker!
I have as much as you. And he was never that mobile.
It is better. Adapting but definitely better
So one time out of how many? Moments player.
Yeah he's pushing the game forward. But he really looks uncomfortable in that role.Dalot has to come off, hopefully Mazraoui can come on for him instead of having to replace Yoro after 60 mins.Does anyone know who the commentators on the international broadcast are?Garnacho has been fine.- Status
