Is anyone concerned with our play from the back?
You know the nerves will be shredded playing certain teams that way.
I like the fact they are confident to do it. Even when being pressured. But sloppy moments happen and they did.
We know as a squad on paper we are weaker. When McT disappeared in the 2nd half, i’m looking to the bench and i’m like, ‘ok give McT another 5, maybe he’ll come good again’
The Mid cannot disappear like that.
Now a real concern, when Traore came on. Sure speed is a killer, but man we looked all over the shop. Panicky even. Others would have seen that.
Need to nip that in the bud quick.
I felt that’s what James’s role would be for us this season. Coming on, against tired teams,pushing them back. But he started.
We have our very own ‘Walcott’.. you know, when he first burst on the scene.
And then there’s the lack of chances created. Criticised in the past cos of our way of play. But we are set up to be offensive. But we’ve got to have the guile to cut through teams, rather than just relying on the counter.

We don't have many that can do that and it's a shame we didn't streghten the midfield or Am position.
