Good calls, but won't happen. Pack & Pato are LJs 2 most "trusted"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityCiderEd Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Just showing the so called highlights at ht and they have to play the same incident half a dozen times to pad it out. It's on a German channel so God knows what they must think of it unless they've switched off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually can’t believe gow bad Pack was that first half. Looks a L1 player these past few months. What is mental about these teams under LJ is that the form of players is as erratic as results and performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh1t_ref_again Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 dont understand playing Weinmann on the right, we are missing someone in the middle to make the movement, Diedhiou looks shot of confidence and lazy, Eliasson not really getting on the ball enough, Kelly looks scared to get a 2nd booking (1st was not a booking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Well, interesting first half. If we’ve seriously been focusing on crosses and getting men into the box, then it appears we forgot to work out how we get the ball advanced to the positions where we can get crosses in! Lets hope LJ reminds them how that is done. Birmingham must be laughing. Let the CBs split, MP get the ball centrally, and when he knocks it to Kalas or Webster, then press...knowing that the full-backs and front 5, have all gone long. Kalas and Webster for all their ability on the ball (for CBs) have no option but to aim a hopeful (hopeless? You decide!) ball 40 yards forward. It’s easy for Birmingham. Nobody (Paterson once maybe twice) comes short. The tactic doesn’t work Lee. By all means go longer, but not with 5 men in a straight line Have midfielders running forward towards a dropping challenged header, not static or sideways. LJ probably things MP is having a good game....it’s an ineffective game, where all he’s doing is stuff that looks pretty. It exposes Brownhill who in effect is playing as a “midfield one”. Luckily Birmingham aren’t much better. Maghoma a threat if we let him run and come in on his right side. I don’t think it would take much in terms of a bit shorter passing to open up this Brum side....but that will take players to up efforts to come short, join in the play instead of running away from the player with the ball. That takes a bit of balls....but importantly it might be against the head-coach’s wishes. In fairness to LJ he appears animated on the sideline....hopefully it’s because actually they are ignoring his plans. I don’t think it is. You’d sort that out in 30 seconds if so. Thus us the way they’ve been drilled, and it’s sterile. 0-0....that is the positive in the first 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh1t_ref_again Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Pack is having another poor game, but fair do's to him he is not hiding or shirking responsibility and still trying, even if not coming off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original OTIB Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Weimann & Eliasson both terrible thus far. I think we can get at them down the right side. Pedersen looks weak to me and Maghoma bombs forward leaving space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Robin Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Our only threats came from combinations on the flanks between defenders and wide players: Pack and Brownhill are offering nothing, and the strikers are often abandoned in the area. Defence was not bad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Hadn't realised it was on the Hesgoal stream so caught the last 15 minutes of the half. Commentary was in Russian ( I think) but even in Russian id wasn't any better. As another poster commented, looks like a lot of players lacking confidence and playing with fear. We seem scared to death the minute we go beyond the half way line and no one seems to want the ball or to take responsibility. It doesn't help when your captain seems devoid of confidence and form.

marcofisher Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Would like to see Deidhou playing like he has started this half, think he needs to play a bit more like a horrible bastard, he’s far too nice sometimes, so what if it means getting a yellow card.
