And that everyone is how you win a game of football .
Fast, fluid attacking moves.
move the ball quickly
Move the ball forward,
Get it in the box quickly
Get players in the box .
After that teams will definitely be more nervous, teams won't be so keen on being exposed at the back .

We've all been crying out, no screaming out!
To get the ball in the box quicker, and not only are we getting the ball in the box quick quicker. there are players on the edge of the box and in the box making themselves available. at least four in the box! with others waiting strategically on or around the box.
I don't care whether this guy is from the moon.
He knows how to win a football game!
He knows what he needs to win a football game!
And while many of criticised his substitution yesterday, the player he brought on he knew very well and he knew his abilities.,
No pussyfooting around.
He did exactly what he felt was needed.
Changed things.

Forgetting Still, I’m intrigued why you thought he was a good manager but much more importantly Leslee.
Why do you think that this team has gone from playing free flowing, fast attacking football, with multiple players getting in and around the box…
To this awful slow build up play, build up is probably the wrong expression as it never builds up to anything!
Same manager and same players .
But complete different formations and tactics to when we were scoring goals for fun!
Has he been instructed to play the SR way?

The trouble is . these are the players that were playing free flowing, positive football. attacking at speed, breaking at speed…
To see an attack or cross with multiple outlets in and around the box, was a joy to watch! We played with in effect a front three. Azaz, Scienza and AA were all combining, interpassing, opening up defences. It’s much harder to defend where you have multiple attackers to mark, all moving.
And then we started to line up with AA up front on his own? He is simply not good enough. He became the leagues top scorer by playing off of others. Azaz is a great goal scorer and has a good touch but only IF you play him in the right place, give him the chances and he scores.
It’s a shame because for the first time in a very long time I was enjoying watching us play

I thought I would delay my post so that rather than it be a knee-jerk reaction, it’s written without frustration!
I cannot understand what has happened to our fast, free flowing football. It was an absolute pleasure to watch with excellent results.
I fully understand the idea of drawing your opponents out… But the opponents aren’t falling for it.
So meanwhile, we play around with the ball like we are playing a key ball training session.
If they won’t be drawn out, run at them, get outside them, get behind them, get out wide…
It’s almost like they are playing an under 12 aside game with the attitude ‘ come on, come and get it’ …
I won’t add anymore because so many other posters are saying the same thing…
We played some magnificent fast flowing football and we were scoring goals for fun.
Get on my pitch and play positive football, look forward not sidewards backwards
Happy New Year

Slow and predictable .
So different to the recent fast, unpredictable, positive football. that ironically got us bags of goals!
Defence an absolute liability, retaining Stephens and giving him the captaincy, despite some awful performances. sets the scene for the team.
Even the wing backs are staying deeper?

As for playing romeu, he is not a player that you bring later on to change the dynamics of a game. Is someone you bring on when you were winning to one with 10 minutes to go to protect your defence.
Having said that his decision making when tackling is still very suspect.
Is he emotionally strengthening the team? I’m not sure.
