Polo7 3,496 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Why do we even bother playing a striker? All 3 of them just stop our attack, its fucking pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,918 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Terrible 1st half for the most part.Same story every week it seems like these days. Sloppy, slow, and no ideas in the final third. Commentator is spot on. We rely solely on the individual brilliance of our midfield. Torres invisible.We have to move the ball around QUICKLY! Not walk it around their box when they have 10 players in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee25 1,044 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 In games like these, players who keep possession well are needed, i.e Mikel, Mata, Eto'o, players who can play short, simple passes and get the team into a passing rhythm. Right now there's very little fluidity to this game. The important thing though, is that we haven't conceded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray 9,441 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Bit of a stale performance tbh ... put some fire in 'em, Mou! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,918 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 You'd think that with the chance to go top even for a few hours would motivate our players to go all out, but we look like we've just had 3 matches last week. No urgency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyikolajevics 2,700 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 We need Schürrle and his powerful shots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I'd be inclined to bring on Mikel for Ramires but not that fussed to be honest. We probably should be 1-0 up and you'd expect Hull to tire as the game goes on.No need for panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cech's helmet 220 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Just play Mata as a number 9. at least he can cold the ball up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Only Hazard is playing in attack, ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo7 3,496 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Just play Mata as a number 9. at least he can cold the ball up.I agree.Btw you do know what helmet is slang for in England dont you? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Switch hazard to the other flank. There has been 4 players on him each time he's on the ball.Hope we don't see that type of poor passing from everybody again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 That chance just may prove costly in the end, because its very clear we won't create much till the end. So next chance or even half a chance has to be converted if we're to win this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I think we need change. I wonder if Jose is thinking of playing with 2 up top and force them to change their 3-5-2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilvorak 3,734 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 According to stats we have 67% possession. Why does that seem incredibly misleading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanishBlue 426 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Fuck. Oscar should really have scored on that 100% chance. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that miss. We need to create some more chances in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapkun 668 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 It looks like we can't start any attack unless Hazard is involved in it, which is going to be quite difficult. Very poor Willian and Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I feel the opposite actually (from most posts).I think we've had a difficult first half because they were pressing and marking brilliantly, but they already showed tiredness and I think we'll break them in the second.I can see us scoring one goal soon. seriously this isn't one of those matches that feels like we couldn't score. It feels like it's approaching. I'm not worried nor do I have a bad feeling about this. Quite calm about it (although the passing was frustrating - especially Ramires, as usual) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 and yeah, Oscar should have scored, but let's not for a second pretend that wasn't a good finishing. It was, McGregor was outstanding and Oscar could have tried the other side, but I can't fault him for a bad finishing because it wasn't a bad finishing imo, it just could have been better position (like to the right instead of the left), but the way you read people it seems like it was one of Torres' sitters.I know it was our only chance and we should have capitalized, but let's not get carried away.

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Just play Mata as a number 9. at least he can cold the ball up.Yeah Mata can single handedly battle against 3 CB's and win every header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
