It all comes down to motivation and mentality. apparently since we know the league can not be won, this squad has just begun cruising in most league matches only pulling it together for the occasional big CL tie. We need to source more players from the academy. I can live with finishing outside the top 4 as long as we have a bunch of lads who bleed blue and give their all for the club. It seems the more expensive our signings are the more they suck... Sterling, Cucu, Lukaku, Koulibaly, Kai, Timo the list goes on... can't remember a big money signing that has actually constantly delivered for ages now apart from maybe Chilly and Kova if you can count them as big money. The players who are delivering or at least showing they care are Mount, broja, RJ, Trev. Not always pure quality from them but they do give their all.

But if after spending so much money we end up with RLC starting, you can't really blame Graham Potter for this. Midfield is a massive problem for us. Fofana injured James injured kante injured, and as it stands hes unbeaten, fair play to the man. Da Herbsman and bigbluewillie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he not fix his blunder @30min in? Weird some will say that kova needed that 30min rest, I’m sure.

Pizy 18,985 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Think the only real difference between the two sides is that they have a creative spark in the middle of the pitch (two, actually with Bruno and Eriksen) and we have none. Jorginho, Kova, and RLC are great at keeping the ball and playing simple passes but Bruno and Eriksen can pierce the lines and create for the attackers. It’s really something we need to think about for the future. We simply don’t have a playmaker in our entire squad. Just ball carriers and holders. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knew exactly what was happening and he waited to see if his team could adapt and maybe pinch a goal, we didn't concede and tactic was changed, what do u want him to do sub kova on 5 mins in for then man utd to change tactics and complete waste a sub for us, Jesus Christ man have a word I think it was blatantly obvious before a ball was kicked to see that playing a 2 man MF (Jorginho and RLC as a pair was daft) against United’s 3 was always going to be a bad idea. Particularly when you consider the mix of athleticism and quality Casemiro, Eriksen and Fernandes have. Or watched United’s performances against Spurs who even switched to a 3-5-2 to line up against United’s 3 man MF. I mean its not out of the ordinary to know that 3 v 2 is always a mismatch, is it?

Mhsc 1,109 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I assume he is trying hard not to play Kova because he’s trying to manage him back to fitness but keeps having no choice but to bring him on. Zakaria must be literally not at a professional standard to have not had a look at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you do any research before or after a game or do you just say what first comes to your mind? KK has a knock, I'd type it in American if my keyboard allowed stupid to be enabled. 1 minute ago, OneMoSalah said: I think it was blatantly obvious before a ball was kicked to see that playing a 2 man MF (Jorginho and RLC as a pair was daft) against United’s 3 was always going to be a bad idea.

No, but also it was clear the idea was to open space for wing backs and spread the midfield to give space for the 2 in MF it just didn't work out to plan.

We only have room for one luxury player and we somehow decided for that being Jorginho and stuck with that for 5 years idk why. Jude Bellingham would be perfect. He just completely tore apart stutgart for BVB without breaking a sweat. OneMoSalah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t come here to be insulted, so welcome to my ignore list — don’t bother replying any more. I have seen this double LB deal attempted maybe 100 times before… it rarely works.
