When they come forward they've got at least 2 men in our area every time with and 3rd and 4th close by. We just don't attack any numbers the whole team is too deep
Its the same most games, Biamou is usually by the corner flag

We look so slow when the ball goes out of play like we’re happy for the breather. Feel like the whole team and staff would take the point.

I agree they play very differnent rols but Walker is completely anonymous in this half

biamou has been awful after the first 20 minutes - he looks like a lottery winner - his touch is shocking

Yes, because his role is to get in behind them, that relies on us actually having the ball & getting it to him to do that.
The target man role involves coming deep to link play, win flick ons etc. Your target man should always be one of the most involved players.

Well this second half has been a dreadful spectacle.. Weve been quite poor... Weve battled but offered next to nothing

Whatever the complaints about Max (and some are justified) he’s been the only one really making much up there tonight

He makes things worse compare their strikers movement to him - he creates nothing and just gets in the way most of the time

I accept the fact that Biamou's not the most gifted player but surely he HAS to be capable of doing the basics of holding the ball up and laying it off. The ball just never sticks when its moved forward to him, so we can't build any sort of sustained pressure.

As Fp says it’s a nightmare trying to play alongside him he’s just never good enough to link effectively - walker must be wondering why he’s bothering

Absolutely gutted Biamou's efforts got him two v Brentford.

Agree with the point about linking but o'hare is also struggling to get on the ball and it's his job to feed him as well.
