There needs to be some kind of threat down the middle in order for the wide men to isolate the full backs, or at least push them back a few yards generating some oh so precious space..
As it is this squad is totally reliant on, as you say, Dunk's worldy passes, and Gross' pinpoint accuracy.
The team can't get out of defense because their defenders have the luxury of playing on our midfielders toes, pushing the wingers further back.
They can do that safe in the knowledge that a three-toed sloth called Abigail could get back and snuff out and 'fast' break down the middle.
Yesterday...
:facepalm:
No pooh sherlock, that's the whole point of this eye-catching thread.
If Ulloa is getting nothing from Burnley why replace him with Murray a like for like palyer and leave the £14m different striker on the bench.
If Murray were to have been injured today CH would have been looking...
and in that time, beyond the FA Cup he's been used as a winger with no success.
Yet today, in a game where the team is fairly comfortable (certainly the most comfortable they'll be for the rest of this season) but Ulloa was making no headway Jurgen must be wondering what's going on to have him...
Jose only had one 'Mickey Mouse' cup game to use for bedding in, half of Locadia's appearances must be FA cup.
Also Jose arrived with the team up against it, after a poor start, whereas Jurgen, even after his injury should have been able to slot into a settled side who were picking up decent...
Of course it was, as said just the natural end point if your train of thought is:-
'Blimey we're playing pretty good, esp for a tough away match, but it's all breaking down around their box'.
Sadly the precious snowflakes on here can't handle the truth. :lol:
I'm just trying to join in with the cool kids, although I guess I didn't do it very well as I didn't slate Locadia or the team.
Just taking the point to it's naturally conclusion.
I thought we played well today, for 3/4ers of the pitch.
Some lovely interplay with crisp one touch passing, mixing up the speed of attack.
Then the team gets 25 yards from goal and everything stops.
If Jurgen can't get onto the pitch today, gotta wonder why he's here getting splinters sat on...
