Every week we do the same things, and we never seem to vary it up. Every time Sanchez gets the ball, he never launches a quick ball for Cucurella / Lamptey to run on to, always checks and then rolls it to Veltman / Dunk. It just feels like everything we do is by numbers and more inclined to retaining possession than to actually creating opportunities to get forward.

So many times today we had players sprinting in to space while Sanchez contemplates the meaning of life and once he has given the opposition time to reset themselves rolls it gently to Dunk to start our slow laborious attack.

I think Sanchez's confidence may be shot - when he has any time to think...it becomes a problem - his 'no time to think' shot stopping is still pretty good though.

After watching the last 5 matches it certainly seems to me that Cucurella and Lamptey have been "found out" by the competition.

Yep, we are a dull side. The genius that is our coach (in some peoples eyes) doesn’t seem to be able to work out how to change the current malaise! We are all on one of his normal runs of shite results (happens every year)!

They are better as wing backs than full backs. As we've sold 2 quality CB's in the last 2 windows and have another who's 'minor knock' equates to 2 months out, and the backup is Duffy who is hopelessly exposed by a high press, we have no option but to play a flat back 4
