Hunsupport Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 What I saw during the last few games is the following as a kind of outsider (so not tempted by the love / hate of LJ, maybe a little with the affection for Nagy): 1, Nagy: he makes mistakes like he never done before. Maybe only once per season and that’s it. He seems to lack confidence which he also never did. Maybe that ankle isn’t 100% at all and he has to adjust to that but mostly I think it’s due to my 2. point as his positioning and awareness hasn’t changed. 2, Most of the times I can’t see the point of the attempted attacks from the team. When the midfielders try to quicken up the attacks (mainly Brownhill and Nagy) in 90 % it fails. Today apart from those 2 big misplaced passes I was watching Nagy closely: during the first half there were at least five occasions when get got the ball, passed forward and run immediately to get it back and fastly go on with the attack. And he didn’t receive it back, because everyone was twisting and turning, including Palmer. So he runs a lot eventually for nothing (most of the games) and at the end I think it tires him mentally therefore the mistakes. At least half ot these runs should end as at the Fulham game but since then attacks seems so slow… 3, The overall technical quality of the forward line bar Eliasson’ crosses is quite poor. 4, Based on what I’ve seen I agree with those who think LJ reached his limits, also seems a little arrogant to me at times. A coach should fill his players with confidence and clear playing strategy based on what his player can do. At Ferencváros when Sergei Rebrov took over rumour was that the players were all puking after the first few trainings so I was afraid they might play against him. And voilá: after 15 years he got us to the EL group stage and before Christmas our skipper gave and interview and said ’He’s a hard man but we got behind him as he has clear vision, everyone knows his part, his duty on the pitch. We won’t be buddies but we respect the hell out of Rebrov because we know his methods ( be as painful and hard as they are) are bringing trophies and success.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we literally have to get relegated for you to see what is going on? AS I SAID I AGREE A MANAGERIAL CHANGE IS NEEDED! But I will never wish for us to lose.

Rovers have a chance of winning the cup, thats not going to happen either; the LJ streak is up and running it could go on for a while yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 21 minutes ago, spudski said: He seriously hasn't. He's the biggest problem to this team creating chances. Total lack of movement into the CORRECT areas. Deep he's fine, occasionally in the six yard box he's fine. It's the movement just in front the box that's the problem. He literally gives very few options. I’m more worried about the other end of the pitch, currently. Fam’s hold up play has been good and brings others into the game. He’s not the type of player you’re talking about. We’ve known that since he arrived that’s not his game. He does his thing pretty well and I think it’s harsh to say he’s the biggest problem. It’s clear we’re very short of options in the forward areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They literally have no options to pass into the final third. Totally agree Spudski and when they do move, there is a absolutely no conviction in the “run” they make. Even the difference in movement from the Shrewsbury players was quite staggering. They pass, move and totally commit to the run they make - but it is so basic! This is Championship professional footballers we’re talking about! Our performances would honestly not look out of place in walking football!!!

I felt people were getting very carried away about Nagy after a couple of good games for us before his injury. People saying when he's back he's our best players or one of our best players. Been poor for a while now. Even Luton game he wasn't that good from what I remember. Clown on here the other day saying it's only people who don't understand football who thinks he's not our best player. He then went on to say he's one of the best players in the championship.

People keep dining out on the fact we finished "higher last season then the year before" We finished the season with 3 points more then the season before. 3! Performances were the same, if not worse. Home form was the same, same powder puff tombola selections etc But because we finished the season with 3 more points then the season before ....you believe that is acceptable? Progression is looking at team developing, and evolving each season. Preston, Brentford, Hull....3 teams with far smaller budgets then us, that clearly look like they are progressing Finishing the season last year 3 points better off then the year before is not acceptable progression. Hopefully they sack him asap. Because I guarantee he doesn't have the decency to do the right thing and walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
