Yep.
We really should play Fernandes as a false 9 and Eriksen as ano10 or vica versa, Martial is even worse than Werghorst, never reaching top speed jogging aroung saving energy for who knows what.. and he can't control the ball or bring anyone into play other than if he drops really deep and slows everything down after someone plays the ball to his feet. He should play second French league or in Turkey, and he will after we finally kick him out.
ETH fans say there is nothing ETH can do but not playing him is something I'd say.
Worst is we only ever turn up one half of a match. What does he say at half-time that we struggle to really up the ante in the second half when the first half has been good. I understand he needs better players but Brighton don't have better players than us, then why can we not keep the ball better. He came with the rep of being someone who coached pressing and possession football, but I am not seeing a lot of either right now than what we saw under Ole.
Oh sorry, I forget that the other teams are playing once per week.
You’re not the only one judging with context mate. Someone like Weghorst has been shocking, but he continues to give him minutes rather than trying to change it. I get we don’t have a lot of options upfront, but if that’s the case maybe just play without a striker in a match like that, let Bruno or someone play in the space and get the ball up the pitch.
The team is knackered and there is not sufficient squad depth to rely on substitutes. It’s a really tough position to be in.
They have fresher legs and it's been obvious that Ten Hag has been pragmatic with what he has in regards to possession football. I feel like this has been obvious for a while now.
Exactly, I give up on some people, if you say you don't want to shit on the manager because of many bad circumstances this season and will judge him next season more, it apparently means "he can do no wrong for you". It is all in extremes with them, like I am talking to the fecking wall here.
Then enlighten me on another team that has played twice a week as many times.
De Zerbi is a great midtable coach as he’s shown previously with Sassuolo… No guaranty that would translate well at a club with higher pressure (Potter also was good for Brighton). And he’s had a week between games most of the season. Only deep run in the FA Cup. While ETH basically had to play his side every 3 days. Very little room to work things deep enough. But I think we can trust the manager with experience handling Ajax pressure more than midtable coaches.
Who do you want to replace him, mate?
What you can't understand for some reason is the effect this insane fixture congestion has on human beings made of flesh and blood. It's not that complicated
Our best player? Surely you're taking the piss?By far OUR best player, jeezus wept
Shouldnt have kept Martial to play second half and Casemiro + Anthony red card walking for so long, we are basically lucky to finish game in 11.
Not a big change from the previous managers, hitting a lot of bad spells, or are we ready to blame players again. How many new players we need and can't we simply win over the likes of Brighton with quite a lot of rookies/youngsters and hardworkers with just a proper system? Where is our system?
Really frustrating days..
No, but the players look burnt out as its a trend to have second half dips now. Ten hag should be managing the squad better and that includes making better subs.
