Only if you have the players to play that way will it work sometimes you have to bang it into the box and see what happens. If everybody played like arsenal the game would be dull nil nil and have to be decided on passing percentage.
Did he touch the ball in the second half? he was back to how he was last year.
They have tried Simms and Godden and Wright and Godden and neither looks like it works so try the one left Simms and Wright.
Eccles is a decent player and proved he has a huge pair of bollocks taking that penalty at Wembley but he isn’t what we need at home when teams sit with everybody behind the ball like they did today.
Maybe there are only two spaces really as Luton will do well to get 12 points as soon as the opposition score they are done, I can see them scoring under twenty and letting in around one hundred.
Forward passes to the strikers he rarely splits the defence if he played all season he wouldn’t get three assists.
If you are picking one or the other it’s Sheaf every time with somebody alongside him.
Rubbish slow defensive football.
Eccles doesn’t have the ability to pass it forward so the forwards get nothing, Dasilva is comfortable on the ball but is not quick and doesn’t produce enough quality.
The changes should have been Eccles Palmer Godden off and Saka plus the other two subs.
