Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 We can do this if the defence is tightened up..though impossible to predict nowadays. Good news is Poch back on the touchline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 How do we tighten up "the defense" if we don't have a single winger who can defend? Sterling used to do some of that work at City, but he'd be wasted doing that work in this squad. That's why I think Poch tried Chilwell there. Maybe he will try someone else to fill that gap for tough away games? This is a home game, so need to play somewhat attacking to get all the points.

Consider dropping cucarella , Sanchez and maybe silva cfccrost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfccrost 23 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 We need better ball playing CB's and with fast pace, and we are a liability from the left side also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was more about team balance than defense line tho. Yes, better defenders can defend better when unprotected, but in the modern game, the big clubs will just overwhelm your defense line in numbers if you don't have a strategy to defend, and players capable of doing that in almost every position.

DDA 9,938 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Not excited about this or any other game at the moment... Football as a spectacle just seems extremely boring these days. I mean, I love football but I can't even celebrate a goal these days with VAR lingering in the background ready to leave its mark on the result. The constant debates over the shocking officiating and borderline corruption is killing our beautiful game. Fulham Broadway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The constant debates over the shocking officiating and borderline corruption is killing our beautiful game. VAR has killed any spontaneity. Going to get worse with refs making announcements about VAR, and introduction of sin bins next season. Get ready for cheerleaders, popcorn and Time out.

Not anywhere near Marseille who were lucky to beat us the first time but also beat us the second time playing better football. NikkiCFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Lucky Brighton. Won penalty in counterattack then AEK left with 10. But even after that they were poor - just managed to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
