We appear to not have a midfield capable of operating at this level. Absolutely hopeless, we're ran rings around by watfords midfield. No man-marking, closing down, nothing! Paddy looked decent when on the ball and rnl played well but the damage was done before then, crap, just that!
I was shocked at the tactics, shocked at the lack of intensity, and not shocked that we conceded 5 RNL must play, one bright spark in amid the disappointment
disagree. we have strengthened a midfield, which dominated almost every midfield we played against during 2013. it's the formation that's the problem. 4-4-2 with dawson and mellis as wingers, is just bewildering
Exactly. I wasn't disappointed with the second half. A wonder save stopped us getting back into it. The damage was done in the first half by stupid formation and three defensive midfielders. He has to learn or he will be relieved of his duties. I think he should be given much more time but he has to learn.
