ProfitInMyPocket Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 7 minutes ago, Bazooka Joe said: Unlike the absolute lack of any decent dribblers in our team. Sadly a long-lost skill. Kadeem Harris is an average winger in this league but his dribbling ability and lack of fear on the ball put us back 10-20 yards every time he got on the ball. Only player with dribbling ability is Eliasson and hes got a nameplate on the bench. If we are only going to play in front of teams then our creativity is going to be stifled.

There's no analysis of the performance, no understanding of why we lost, no considering all factors. It's just nasty and pathetic individuals who can barely spell, let alone understand the game, slagging off the manager they never wanted and never liked. Christ people are saying get Hughton and Karanka but in the same breath moaning about the quality of "entertainment". That demonstrates completely that these people don't have a ******* clue what they're talking about. Honestly, would rather they just ****** off. Their toxicity has been a major problem for the club and it's players for decades. Disgraceful. Yikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 LJ has assembled a team of players, under his stewardship, that cannot pass a football most of the time. Our possession retention is shameful. Utterly hopeless. This is the primary issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markular Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Johnson has a masterplan. Standing 12ft off of every opposition player. Allowing doubt to creep into their mind. After we win the ball we cut a sythe through our half until we meet the terror that is the halfway line. This brute, unyielding and cruel deprives us of our attacking intent. But Johnson soldiers on, willing his troops to pass sideways until the sun, wind and rain wash that devilish halfway line from the pitch, and we can break free like the birds of paridise we are, soaring high into the honeyed land that is the opposition net.

marcofisher Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 We had almost £10mill worth of midfield talent on the bench today, whereas our midfield on the pitch was made out of a player who has barely played in 15 months and a winger than has been shoehorned into a centre midfield position.

These are professional footballers who spend all week training for their 90 minutes of work at the weekend. Today was abysmal, LJ’s has had years to work on a style of football that he wants his players to play, he has signed dozens of players to supposedly fit into that style. Can you advise me what this style is?. Because I saw no pattern or plan to our play for 95 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 28 minutes ago, J-mat said: Now see that, that's a fair criticism. Not just of our team but also our general coaching philosophy in England. If you're looking for fair criticism, which of the following do you agree with... We don't have a preferred formation We don't have a settled line up Players eg Nagy/Massengo have gone from world beaters to unused subs We can't fit our most dangerous player, Eliasson, in the line up We don't know how to break teams down at home We've lost 4 out of 6 and nearing relegation form Our XG is 2nd worst in the league We don't play entertaining football We concede too many goals We're under pressure to beat Charlton away to keep up with the top 6 We look worse with almost a fully fit squad than with injuries I'm not saying sack him, but I am 100% saying that based on all the facts, criticism is fully justified. He needs to win back our favour by solving these problems fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Robin Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Johnson is well below the level to get us promoted. He's not a great tactition and his team selections and shapes are weird to say the least. His constant tinkering is not the sign of a good manager.....and we arent talking about squad rotation here. More important I feel is that Lee is a bit weak and that comes across in his media interviews. I cannot imagine any of the players worry about being b*llocked for a rubbish performance. I think this also comes out in his supposedly 'safe' team selections which often backfire. I think we need a tougher more outgoing manager who will get the best out of the players, play form players and kick some *rse if they dont perform.
