Mve is lucky compared to jds. The amount of times they broke on the counter down the left and jds was trying to cover and watch the full back while emc stood there or strolled into the centre circle.

They need to track back and unless we score more goals than have ever been scored before like the first part of the season it will fuck us.
I was just thinking exactly this. It’s the opportunity of all their careers and they look fed up, nervous, jaded, and petulant. Beginning of season they looked like they were thriving. You can understand a bit of nerves but seem to have gone completely to pot.Roy Keane said it yesterday. Stop being scared of the challenge and embrace it.
Not sure that's right. I think Esse is too attacking for our lineup pulls everyone out of position.Mve is lucky compared to jds. The amount of times they broke on the counter down the left and jds was trying to cover and watch the full back while emc stood there or strolled into the centre circle.
The last month has drained all my enthusiasm for watching us play. The most frustrating thing is we can all see the problems but the people at the club either don't or haven't done anything to address them.I have to be honest, if we do actually bottle this I will be done with football for a long time.
You live for seasons like this and to see it being pissed away against shite teams because Doug is doing this on the cheap or because Lampard is committing tactical hari kiri, it’s inexcusable.
He gets back better than emc, not as good as sakamoto thoughNot sure that's right. I think Esse is too attacking for our lineup pulls everyone out of position.
Speaking of Sunderland, their form went off a cliff too and the good football they were playing evaporated like what we’re seeing now. They got away with it in the playoffs.The last month has drained all my enthusiasm for watching us play.

Teams have figured out how to play against us. We cannot play like we did the first few months of the season.
We have to do a Sunderland and change how we approach games. Get everyone behind the ball when we defend and don't give teams an inch.
Saka helps as MVEs pace is supposed to cover across the pitch during most attacks.He gets back better than emc, not as good as sakamoto though
The annoying thing is, you can kind of see it coming.I honestly don't know if I could motivate myself to keep up with it if we bottle this.
I'd definitely have to take some time out.

Leicester also did a few years ago. It happens. You have to go back to basics. Honestly hindsight sure but set up tonight not to get beat and let our 'class' upfront win it.Speaking of Sunderland, their form went off a cliff too and the good football they were playing evaporated like what we’re seeing now.

I don’t think we will.
The problem for ages has been keeping this aggressive shape and system while the energy needed to sustain it hasn’t been there. Lampard doesn’t know anything else so on it goesThat's been plenty of goals where mve is out of position or doesn't track back himself.
Perhaps if we got a decent referee we would win the league.
i know mate, was a joke because he moans about every refIn fairness, today's was okay.
I'm not sure how you don't see the fact that MVE is literally supposed to cover any break away that will knacker eventually.That's been plenty of goals where mve is out of position or doesn't track back himself.

The reason Sunderland got their act together is they stopped playing the free-flowing football as teams worked out how to beat them (us beating them 3-0 for example). They then changed how they approached games and were extremely well organised. If we could keep clean sheets, we have the players to win games through moments of magic. Our midfield, sadly get bypassed and our defence simply aren't top 2 quality.Speaking of Sunderland, their form went off a cliff too and the good football they were playing evaporated like what we’re seeing now.

They went on a wretched run right into the playoffs and being blunt, got lucky against both us and Sheff Utd.The reason Sunderland got their act together is they stopped playing the free-flowing football as teams worked out how to beat them (us beating them 3-0 for example).

Spot on. Hard to beat, trust our forward players. Don't play 6 forwards with a fatigued grimes holding the tidal wave of attacks backThe reason Sunderland got their act together is they stopped playing the free-flowing football as teams worked out how to beat them (us beating them 3-0 for example).

They were lucky against both us and Sheff Utd but they played tournament football which wins play-offs.They went on a wretched run right into the playoffs and being blunt, got lucky against both us and Sheff Utd.
Most have said if we bottle this lead in the league they are done with it. not tonight.To all the I'm done with football posts, because of tonight........really? Frustrating yes. But it's one game out of hundreds following City (more like thousands). As chumbawotshisface said 'I get knocked down....' PUSB and feck anyone who says otherwise.
Eccles has played in the 10 plenty and we’ve generally done well3 questions for Lampard
1. Why take of Esse for Sakamoto and BTA for Eccles? Sakamoto for BTA fine with Esse at 10 amd Sakamoto on the right makes sense. Eccles in the 10 role doesn't.
2. Why take off Haji when he is playing well? Felt like a scripted sub
3. Why don't we vary the formation to 442 or 532 in games when we are struggling to create chances?
It's not all on Frank at all as Kitching has to do better defensively and so does EMC and Eccles with their headers and it's a different outcome. I just looked at the form table and last 6 games we are 16th.
Well the way we are going we wont be top long.This thread is annoying me already btw, incredibly small club bitter mentality to be worried about this “being the new sutton” when we’re still top of the league with miles of the season to go.
Look at the form we are on ffsPeople are talking about losing faith in the manager, sub-20,000 crowds next season, being done with football etc…..when we’re eight points clear of third?
Same reply. The same who take that stance will be the first to jump ship if we were struggling at the bottom next season.Most have said if we bottle this lead in the league they are done with it. not tonight.
I can understand it. It would be totally sickening to be the biggest championship bottlers of all time.Same reply. The same who take that stance will be the first to jump ship if we were struggling at the bottom next season.
Get a fucking grip wake up and smell the coffeePeople are talking about losing faith in the manager, sub-20,000 crowds next season, being done with football etc…..when we’re eight points clear of third?
Think Norwich could beat Ipswich at theirs.vut if we dont pick up points ourseleves its pointlessNorwich at Boro. Big difference
