Why do we not play any through balls? It's so infuriating. Numerous times today Jackson was on the last defender's shoulder pointing into the space in front of him for a through ball, but every time our midfielders play the ball sideways out wide. I just don't get our tactics. If we had two very good wingers who ping great crosses in then I'd get it....

You have to work things like that out in practice. Makes you wonder what actually goes on in practice. But the way SP keeps switching his formations around, no-one probably knows what they are supposed to be doing.

Numerous times? There was no movement from any of the front 3 today.

Are midfield can't see forward runs.
They are more intent on the first and second touch before the pass.

Yes. Jackson was in good positions but holding his runs to stay onside! The ball needs to be slotted in behind a lot more when you have a striker like him. We really need to start playing to our strikers' srltrengths

The continuous crossing from edge of box into madine being marked by 3 defenders was awful,didn't mix it up at all. only time we looked truly dangerous was the odd long ranger
