saintant Posted 1 April, 2018 Share Posted 1 April, 2018 (edited) Only just into 4 pages to this thread so far after yesterday's complete shambles shows that the general apathy at the club is spreading to the fans. Who can blame them after the shabby treatment they've received in the past few seasons. Greed at the highest level is one of the factors that has led us to the brink of dropping into the Championship. It smacks of asset stripping. I fear we are on the verge of sinking like we did in 2003 after the FA Cup Final. The club may find it difficult to shift season tickets next time. A very sad and rapid decline which was wholly avoidable. Time for a mass clear out of the leeches who are sucking the life blood from our great club. They know who they are - no need to name them.

What was BFS thinking, 4 front men (and Rooney)with no defensive abilities against one of the best sides in Europe. I thought Austin was just rubbish yesterday and Gabbiadini just wasn't, well wasn't anywhere to b seen. Hojbjerg ? Just don't get why he's even still here to be honest. Even old man Davies is a better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle04 Posted 1 April, 2018 Share Posted 1 April, 2018 Last week WHU seemed as desperate, hammered at home and the fans baying for blood. They responded with guts and determination and dare I say it, pride in the shirt. Our players response to a new manager was total apathy until we were 3-0 down. Something is very wrong right now. At no point this season have we played well for 3-4 consecutive games, which we need to do to have any chance of survival. Looking at the table we still have a theoretical chance but the spirit and motivation just aren't there. If MH turns this around he deserves all credit.

nta786 Posted 1 April, 2018 Share Posted 1 April, 2018 I am back down to Kent now following yesterdays debacle. I stayed till the final whistle, Long came over and gave his shirt, Bertrand came over, began shaking his head towards us fans and showed his disappointment tbf to him, then went in. Cedric walks over with his mates West Ham top on, after giving in one of his most shi*test performances. That crap was the worst I have seen in front of my eyes, having what has basically condemned us to Championship football next season. These are players just so shot in confidence playing against a team who was up for it. I did not understand why we were playing so deep, Tadic and Redmond were in our halves more than theirs- I think fans chanting ‘pass it back to McCarthy- hes open!’ summed it up.

It's got to cliche time... we need a few Benalis out there who actually give a **** and can translate it to effort and commitment on the pitch. Romeu has to play if we're going 2 up front because the midfield is overrun and we need someone with a bit of strength in there who can win the ball. He's worse on the ball than the other 2, but seeing as all we're doing is walloping it aimlessly to our isolated strikers it doesn't matter.

The Cat Posted 1 April, 2018 Share Posted 1 April, 2018 While I'm on the subject of tactics, why are we playing 4-4-2 with 2 'wide' men in midfield who spend all their time tucking in? On the rare occasions our full backs had the ball there was rarely a pass on up the line because Tadic and Redmond were wandering around the midfield. Get it wide, cross it in from 18 yards out or from in behind them. Don't rely on hoofing it forward on the off chance it will fall to one of our players. FFS.

He’s the best passer of the ball of the three. The problem is that he’s not mobile or athletic enough to play in a two man CM where you need to cover much more ground to avoid being overrun.

Add to that; Despite him being a less than popular chap outside WH, you just have to look at their Captain, Mark Noble, the fiasco of the Burnley game you could pretty much guarantee would have made his blood boil, for his supposed limitations as Captain of his boyhood club you get the impression that he ain’t going to let any bugger in that team hide.

Hamwic Posted 1 April, 2018 Share Posted 1 April, 2018 On Radio 5 the summariser, Pat Nevin,called it early in the first half; all very well having two up top but you need to get the ball to them. Tadic and Redmond seem incapable on that front. He later identified that our midfield was so easily overrun and offered little or no protection. He might well have added that Cedric, Hoedt and Bertrand seem incapable of defending and the latter was 'unable to deal with the 35 year old Zabaleta. There was also the notable absence of any leader on the pitch. If we go down, many of these players will be off for discount prices so really don't worry too much.

Chez Posted 1 April, 2018 Share Posted 1 April, 2018 (edited) We are so used to having the extra man in midfield and someone to pass to, all be it often backwards, now players get on the ball and can't find an open man. The man in possession is left with limited choices, play a risky pass, hoof it safe or hold on to it that little bit too long. Yesterday we saw the outcome of all three choices. Either we get an extra man in midfield, or we have a consistent kick and rush approach. Right now the players don't know what they are doing. They have been playing the same way for two years or more. Not easy to suddenly change it and that has been obvious in the two games under Hughes. I am not sure there is an answer here. Hughes is going to persist with this tactic because the previous one wasn't working. If that's the case, he needs to have much clearer thinking. For a safety first hoof ball approach to work he needs to drill players, ensure those selected know their roles and have midfielders that work their socks off in both directions. Does Tadic really fit that mould? Personally I think Hughes' tactic it is doomed to fail because if you are not controlling the game you are inviting pressure and our back four are simply not good enough to rely on to keep a clean sheet. Puel's and MoPo's tactic of controlling the game through possession may have bored people to death, but it protected the back four by limiting their exposure to ANY attacks. The way forward? I have thought about it for while now and I still don't really know, but I seriously doubt the Stephens/Hoedt, Lemina/Hoj and Redmond/Tadic combination will work playing this formation and approach. Playing in a 433, our problem was simply a lack of penetration in the final third and when the rare chance came along strikers not being clinical. Austin can provide that finish if offered the chances. Get him up top with Sims offering the energy and direct running on one side and Boufal some tricks on the other in a 433. Bring Romeu back into that three with Hoj next to him and Lemina just in front of them. Drop Hoedt or Stephens (both are failing to do the basics well enough) and bring Yoshida back. Even as I type this I am wincing. We are ****ed aren't we? In terms of tactics, lets return to a possession game but with a fraction more risk in terms of forward pass. With regards to wide players, they must travel with the ball much more - just go down the line and attempt to get the corner at least. The idea that a wide man collects the ball in the final third and then passes it square or backwards is madness. The side has worked to get the ball in that position, now go and show us your pace and tricks. These are subtle changes and with the current personnel might not be enough, but what I saw yesterday made my eyes bleed and I am not sure I can watch that again.

Saint Albert Posted 1 April, 2018 Share Posted 1 April, 2018 Only just into 4 pages to this thread so far after yesterday's complete shambles shows that the general apathy at the club is spreading to the fans. Who can blame them after the shabby treatment they've received in the past few seasons. Greed at the highest level is one of the factors that has led us to the brink of dropping into the Championship. It smacks of asset stripping. I fear we are on the verge of sinking like we did in 2003 after the FA Cup Final. The club may find it difficult to shift season tickets next time. A very sad and rapid decline which was wholly avoidable. Time for a mass clear out of the leeches who are sucking the life blood from our great club. They know who they are - no need to name them. I can’t speak for anyone else but after watching yesterday’s game the last thing I wanted to talk about in any detail was football. The team’s performance was depressing, and worrying. Getting overrun in midfield by Wigan in the first half of the QF was not enough to kill the 4-4-2. I’m assuming that yesterday’s cluster**** will do it.

The one word used by many of the commentators on the game, TV, Radio, MOTD and 4 newspapers today, apart from Abject, was Leaderless. I watched the stream and I thought the same thing, nobody looked like a leader/captain. Our 2 CB’s and both FB’s were shocking. As for Tadic and Redmond! How they were rated as 5 in the Mail? One of the papers I saw was more realistic with 4 each but even that is generous. i see us gaining 5 points, being generous, from our remaining fixtures. Sorry but I see us one of the 3 to go down.

Mr Dad Posted 1 April, 2018 Share Posted 1 April, 2018 I am partially deaf and a good lip-reader. There was a brief TV (stream) shot of Mark Hughes. I am sure he said 'waste of space' about somebody. Sorry I didn't catch who he was talking about. Anyway, if he is speaking so frankly, lets hope that he will be prepared to read the riot act to players and try to sort the problem out. Right now he has non-performing players and his only option is to motivate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
