Attacking play

Fri Dec 13, 2024 10:49 am

Where has our attacking play gone?

When Riza first took over we were constantly driving forward, having crazy amounts of shots each game.

Now we just pass it across the back line for no reason, bringing pressure on ourselves.

Why has he completely changed what was working.... :banghead:

Robinson looks knackered
El Ghazi never been 100%
Willock hasnt settled
Meite is a league 1 player
O Dowda left back and the only tryer when he is on the wing
Tanner injured
Etete injured
Davies injured
Rambo injured
Kanga no comment

No variety in options up top or angled runs or clever movement let alone bodies in the box.

Thats whats ahead of Colwill and Robertson as options when they have the ball. Its not a good look is it? This is why Colwill comes deeper sometimes even picking up the ball off Alnwick and drifts out wide to help the wingers because they are so poor. Maybe try Colwill alongside Robertson in the two.

Our crossing has become dreadful
Our shooting also dreadful
Corners have gone massively backwards
Free kicks the same

Its scary to look at.

This has Purse written all over it.

We were attacking up until Purse moving to be with the first team. There’s no coincidence there.

If it is purse, Riza needs to grow a pair and set the team up his way. He's the manager not purse.
