Leif 6,006 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I can't stop gushing over Conte and it doesn't stop today; I have faith that if we don't get a goal this half, he is the only manager we've had in many years that will actually truly evaluate the details, and tweak them for the second half, to our benefit. All our other managers would just persist with the same tactics from kick off and think introducing subs are enough. Getting to half time 0-0 vs. any team under Conte feels the same as 1-0 to me.

Hold Azpili back and everything is back to normal. The one I believe shouldn't be playing is Matic... I hope he is subbed off at HT. You don't add much to attack by bringing Azpili to their half.

It was more of joke about him getting cleared so late. But he's making mistakes and poor choices that have little to do with tactics. I think we could use a second striker on even more than a creative passer in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supermonkey92 1,428 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Alonso and moses need to go high and wide. Passing needs to be quicker and sharper out of defence and midfield. Bring fabregas on. Fuck sake this is annoying me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmin 2,484 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 A rather frustrating first half. I think it would be good to try crossing more. Some corners might be useful. The short passes and through balls are clearly not working against their defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's bullying Luiz, our one touch passing has been poor, costa has been kept down by so many defenders in the middle and hazard isn't asking for the ball enough or dribbling enough again... Our other dribbler Moses is not taking Philips one on one..... Annoying Rusty performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,959 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hopefully Dean will start to book the delays. Every single opportunity to waste time is used by Foster and those who are supposed to throw in. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communicate 2,703 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 So playing against 10 man behind the ball with narrow formation is difficult. Not surprised, we used to play that way. What we need is a little bit of magic from hazard or goal from set pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
