Zahore gets slated as we played him as a lone striker, gave him no service whatsoever and asked him to make something from nothing! At one point Patterson was screaming at him, they’d had position for about 2 mind and zahore was back and forth chasing, no help, then Patterson tells him to run more! Whilst watching him!
Yet our so called midfield 3 don’t really press anyone, Patterson done ok, Grujic well maybe it’s too soon, Ralls today; I don’t know, he tracks a player, leaves the player stands, doesn’t press the ball and then trots to mark an already marked player! And he does this without passing his man on. He did this time and time again tonight.
Man City barely moved up the gears but we are lacking a bite, manga at one point was pressing in the midfield, we are missing Gunnarsson so badly. 4 3 3 or 4 5 1 isn’t suiting us recent results are backing this up, we need a change, we need more guile in midfield. We got extra cover but we do not have 1 player who will command the midfield! A striker is not a priority, it’s a general. We have lacked one for a few seasons now.
We lack balance in the middle.
Let’s see who we bring in from now til weds.
It’s all about opinions I guess but this is mine
