We always struggle, any team that is capable of keeping the ball on the grass and moving it about with any kind of intensity always gets the better of us. We just look so out dated, especially in possession, the difference in movement off the ball, first touch and passing speed/direction is very visibly leagues below our Spanish opponents.
Our possession is reactive, our players will hang on to the ball for too long, whatever limited passing options there are, will no longer exist because the opposition have now had enough time to get back into shape, and the reason our players don't make the early passes is because neither do they have the vision nor the confidence in their own passing ability and not even confident in the teammate's ability to receive the ball.
This is also why our wingers look worse, because we're not able to feed them accurate balls when the opposition is moving around and not settled, a fullback sprinting to get into position can be beaten far more easily than one who is in position.
Hoping all this can improve under the new coaches, but we're far from it.
