marcofisher Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Marlon Pack always looks utterly lost against teams that play with high intensity, why do we insist on playing him in a midfield 2 in these matches?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are expecting new arrivals this week. There are 45 games still to go. There are plenty of teams worse than us and not as good as Leeds. There are good reasons not to write the season off and say everything is terrible after one game. I think the other thing is Leeds are a team that are particularly set up in a way we struggle against. I don’t think it a coincidence our worst performances are frequently against Leeds and Brentford as I think teams that are comfortable at the back and hard to press into errors tend to nullify us. It is frustrating we still have not learned how to play against those teams but I do not think that necessarily means we will be outclassed every week...

If they can keep up this sort of high intensity pressing game for the next 9 months then they'll be in with a very good chance of going up...or they'll burn out...again. WE MADE THEM LOOK GOOD!

Him, Weimann and Eliasson need to be starting Weimann should only start if played up front, useless and a liability in right midfield as he showed for 65 mins today.

Considering how much winger depth we are meant to have, it amazes me that Weimann continues to start to the right. A true stats player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utter Rubbish! Go have a word with yourself! However he is a forward. He makes run after run and finally today Desilva picked him out with one that nearly got him in!!
