LondonBristolian Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 2 minutes ago, Spike said: Armstrong is a bad call, he's the reason Hull are panicking at the back a lot, he's working damn hard and causing problems. Sykes hasn't played bad, he's just playing the tactics he's been told to, only reason to take him off would be a few bad crosses. Mehmeti isn't playing bad either, just gets the ball very wide and you can see he wants to come into the middle which is why I said I'd give him a chance there. Williams... yeah he needs to go off, worst player on the pitch by a considerable amount atm. I like Williams as a player but I can’t help feeling there is a contradiction in that Manning wants us to control games but then picking Williams as well as Knight and Bird suggests more of a containment strategy than a “control” strategy. There is more of a risk to having two midfielders and then either Wells or Mehmeti behind Armstrong but it is a risk I feel we should take.

Jacki Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Not read any of this thread but we have had numerous chances to take advantage of them being sloppy in possession and our final ball has been woeful. Looking great on the press but unless we improve the quality it will really cost us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Fred Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) 13 minutes ago, SydneyCity said: Get Naismith on. Tell the players to stop overthinking it in the final third. Loosen the rigid structures by pinging some longer, hopeful, balls in towards or in front of Armstrong. Replace Williams with Naismith,, couldn't be any worse. We're too rigid and imo constrained by team orders- bloody frustrating to watch!! Edited August 10 by Son of Fred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
