Welbeck is taking to his solitary confinement quite well and is looking less and less of a threat as the games roll on. But Alexis is the real problem. Seems the boy just doesn't want to learn. Charging around the place, hustling, harrying, running towards the goal, shooting, abandoning his triangle. Whatever the hell goes on at Barca on the training pitch we don't want any of that here thanks!

He'll have a "knock" soon and AW will coach his game out of him in no time.

His hustling got him two goals the other day and the manager saw it live but he still insists on playing this pointless shit that makes Sunderland look like world beaters in defence.

We went back to basics a bit in the Sunderland game - just two limited CMs that pass to more talented players and hold their shape and I think we might have to continue doing that. Hopefully Ramsey can go back to playing like he did in the second half of the 12/13 season. Even if we don't have his goals, we need his defensive qualities. Once we don't have to keep chasing games we might win more regularly.

You need shape when you are being attacked. We had 2 midfielders "not wandering forward", this is my point - against Sunderland. We are then reliant on 4 players having worldy games to create scoring opportunities. This is made even more necessary because we are crap at set pieces. On Sat, we had Santi, Ox & Welbz having nightmares - this will often be the case because we don't have real quality in the final third, therefore resulting in lack of goals.

I watched Everton's 1st goal yesterday and it was a reminder of what we used to be able to do to teams. Fast counter attack from left to right finished clinically by Eto'o. Apart from the great Alexis, the rest of our players are happy to pass it around and neglect responsability.

Its not a coincidende that the 2 or 3 players we have who press high and workd hard are new to the club (Alexis, Welbz and Campbell at times).

:gp:

This!!! My major gripe against our club right now is the horrible football we put on show. It is atrocious! We can count on our hand how many games we played good football in, in the last 2-3 seasons. We cant even get back at other teams fans saying "We play the best football in England" anymore..

Because we're all about 4th place,
