Attacking full backs

[Crouchie's Lawyer]

Not working.

 

As much as I think Clyne is a good player and Gox has a good left foot they leave us exposed too much at the back time and time again. May work for the Uniteds, Man City's and Arsenal who have decent players to back it up but for a team where we are we need a solid back four.

 

Keep clean sheets first. We have attackers and midfielders who can score. We don't need to lose half our defence every time we have an attack.

 

The amount of goals we have shipped and the 2nd WBA goal goes so show we get rinsed on counter attacks.

 

Something needs to be done. Aside from the Lambert shot on the bar (which was a lucky deflection) and his header on the first half we haven't looked like scoring at all and for a supposed attacking team that's very poor!

 

Attacking mentality isn't working. Build a solid team. I'd rather see us nick the odd 1-0 and play solidly, like WBA have done tonight than see us score 1 or 2 yet concede 3,4 or 5.

 

Sort it out, we're becoming the laughing stock of the league and the whipping boys

Average formations screen shot on MNF says it all

I wonder if people are still glad Cortese didn't take any sh*t from anyone when he was trying to sign Buttner. That £500k could have made a big difference to our survival chances.

Agree with the OP. This strategy of having our back four compress into the box and the wingers pull back to cover the channel just isn't working, we don't have the players for it, as Lallana's cock up leading to the first goal showed.

You can only play attacking full backs if you've got 2 midfielders who are going to sit and defend - we don't!

 

Morgan used to be able to defend - and keep the ball - and Davis can't seem to do either. I'm not actually sure what the point of Davis is!?

 

We are really missing Cork.
