If you set this team up to defend and slow the game down they just can't get out of that negative mindset. They get stuck in 2nd gear. We have to set up to routinely attack teams it's the only way to wake the fookers up.

25 in January.

We can't defend and have a squad full of attackers. How about playing with tempo and attacking teams?

Burnley have been absolutely average. It's just disappointing we didn't have a go at them at all.

We do need to see some real impact from Simms as a sub in positions like this.

It's just so obvious. He makes such difference to us wide right. And wakes MVE up .

Have to go 2 upfront soon with Saka on the right.

They just want him to run about defensively. Too much negative thinking.

You just forget Torp is playing. Get Rudoni on.

Unlease Ellis Simms.

It's certainly been a solid professional defensive performance so far, although Burnley haven't really had much tempo or imagination. A bit odd that we have so many forward players in the squad and never really take it to anyone.

No shot at all. Their keeper has done absolutely nothing. Need some attacking play.

Just set up with such a defensive mentality. With just Bassette upfront for the break. Disappointing.

Wonder why that might be when he's a star out wide right.

Much rather have Rudoni than Torp. Torp just doesn't contribute enough.

Play Sakamoto on the right is the point.

It's good marking on the press. But it's not really pressuring them into a mistake. Just standing off.

Just play Sakamoto on the right in front of MVE. So much more effective. What's the problem?

Play him in his position and his confidence will continue to grow. How he fits with Haji is another matter ..

He came on for 20 mins as an impact sub yesterday. And made no impact at all. That doesn't help him. Especially as Bassette was a live wire.
