sfc4prem Posted 27 August, 2019 Share Posted 27 August, 2019 We've got no ability to control the midfield. We saw that against Brighton, clear as day. Long gone are the days of a central midfielder who can control the tempo of the game and orchestrate the midfield. We are absolutely crying out for it.

We needed to upgrade on Romeu in the summer imo. He's a backup option at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was exactly that when we still had Wanyama, we have regressed and not paid enough attention to that crucial area of the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verlaine1979 Posted 27 August, 2019 Share Posted 27 August, 2019 You are ignoring the Liverpool game then but as you keep telling us we are a bottom 3 side so what are you expecting tic a tac footie? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The Liverpool performance has been seriously overrated on here. It was 40 minutes of huff and puff against a team waking themselves up.

Nordic Saint Posted 27 August, 2019 Share Posted 27 August, 2019 If only the Lemina thing had worked out Someone with a bit more oomph and pace to replace Ward-Prowse could be the key. He doesn't create much so nowadays his main role seems to be to battle in central midfield but he tends to get easily overrun and outpaced. I think we were all hoping he would turn into a real team leader but the fact is he tends to get bypassed by pacy opposition and doesn't offer much in the way of leadership. Boufal seems to be our main midfield battler tonight. Pity Ward-Prowse doesn't let him take the free-kicks as I think he'd be better at them too. Anyway, as long as we win, it's all good.

It was 40 minutes of huff and puff against a team waking themselves up. You didn’t go then? Because if you did you would have seen us compete for large parts of that game. Shame Ings huffed and didn’t puff enough but we deserved a draw against them . I know that flies in all the negativity doom merchants face but we did well .
