What would be the benefit of those changes?

Igamane came on. That's great to see.

It's implied, surely? Otherwise why do you keep comparing him to Beale and GvB? Yes, pretty bad.

Maybe 30 years ago, but football has moved on.

You're not wrong, but we don't really need to adapt; we just need to do it better, stop them playing through.

You wanted Beale (and GvB? I don't remember, to be honest) to stay. What's the difference with Clement? Is it the fact you like to be... C o n t r a r i a n

Both those long range shots were weak as piss. I cannot compute how they go in. But then a better press prevents them from getting that space and time to shoot.

It's the execution of the approach, not the approach itself. For example - as I posted during the game - front and middle press, but the defence sit back leaving acres of space. The high press approach is fine, but the execution is piss poor.

There was a moment in the second half when he got robbed, fell to the floor, and then slowly gets up and jogs back. All the while they've swarmed past him on the attack. He's done - well, he'll be alright against the diddy teams.

I did, and that's partly my point: we were sh*t and yet the xG and actual attempts is that close. The lack of fight is the most annoying aspect. It must be a psychological issue, as @yuddie suggests.

I'm most annoyed at the lack of fight. I think the structure and approach are fine - obviously, they still require perfecting.

The initial xG is 1.74 vs 1.39. That's bugger all! If we could just take a chance or cut out the defensive mistakes - or, better still, a combination of both - they are there for the taking. 14-13 on shots, 4-4 shots on target, with the difference being the big chances (5-2).

This is a nonsense. What's the point in turning up?

You'd be better asking who didn't.

How?! It's not even a powerful shot.

I know our quality is lacking, but I detest how easily we get out-muscled in every duel.

I'm not sure that's a yellow at all.

That chance is like a carbon copy of their goal. The difference... ?

Is that their record signing? Let's snap him.

The press is awful: our front and middle go, but the defence sits back leaving acres of space.

We don't block the cross and we let them run off us in the box. It's the worst of both.

Igamane will score the winner off the bench.

WE'RE GONNA DESTROY THEM!

He could play CM but I think Barron and Diomande have more about them. I did like him at CB, but Souttar and Propper (and the new guy) are ahead of him. He certainly doesn't play on the wings anymore. Sterling is a good player to have, but he's mostly just athletic; a Jack of all trades, master of none. He'll be preferred in certain games I'm sure.
