Beating the big sides when they setup to stop us. We’ve enjoyed good results under Ole against some big teams, but now they’re wary and don’t give us space to counter.
This season is seen 6x 0-0 draws and 2x losses against the “big 6".
That simply isn’t good enough and will need to change next season if we’re to continue improving.
Today’s result though, wasn’t a bad one. Chelsea are turning a corner and but for some bad officiating we would probably have nicked a win.
Ole next big challenge

Fair refereeing is our biggest obstacle

Getting people to run in behind the opposition back line is the biggest issue in these games. Everything is in front of the opponents.

You've totally missed the point there mate. They aren't letting have that space like they did last season.

Yeah, not as much, not not totally none. But there is no desire, or no instruction for any of our forwards to run off the ball towards the opponents goal. Too often we'll have 5-6 players in or around the opponents final 3rd and at most we'll have 1 player in the box.
All the forward players want to come short to to ball. No-one spins in behind. There is space, we just don't want to look for it.

You can't make your move until the ball is played, otherwise you will be offside

And you can't wait until the ball is played, or you won't get on the end of it.

When are we getting a proper manager? Surely in the summer.

A sort of Catch 22 really.
