Maybe because we don't have a midfielder today??
Don't tinker that ain't broke. Ole forgot the mantra and now playing bruno as false 9 all the time. That going to be a disaster leaving huge void in the middle. Our midfield is not only missing his control but his tracking workrate too.We look uncoached compared to Liverpool and Chelsea from yesterday. No control, no cohesion, awful possesion play.
Seriously. He should drop back in the middle of the field to control the tempo. There are games he can be false 9, not this one.
Of all the players to criticise so far James is a ridiculous pick. Put your bias away for a minute and have a look at the big hole where our midfield should be.
Fred is a midfield runner and presser; he can’t help himself and will always break rank, abandon position and run towards the ball, putting him in deep midfield doesn’t change that. Worse still, he doesn’t have the physical weight and strength to counterbalance this massive flaw.
I get people want to give him pelters, but for me, he simply should not be put in a position that exposes him like that. McFred are a duo for a reason, and even if one or the other is out, you can’t change the others’ role emphatically and suddenly expect all the reasons they are symbiotic to suddenly disappear.
It's hardly surprising given the calibre of coaches they have and the one we have. We just look a bunch of individuals. The level organisation and cohesion is so lowThis is shocking. We are so ill disciplined and messy compared to the other big sides.
Ole is not the man to take us forward
