JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Ledley is a problem. In fact the holding midfield position in general is a problem. It's key to the formation and I am not sure anyone in the squad is at the level we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You fire these stats at us but with the most important stats, he's had a pretty good start to the season. Try not to shoot him down and make a scapegoat of him when he wasn't even the worst player on the pitch. I don't recall seeing any comments regarding his finish tonight, or the header last week. If you're only going to post when things aren't so rosie, why bother? Exactly, if those stats show up after a 4 - 1 win then yeah, shoot him down, but what sort of stats do people expect from that game? I bet they didnt stand out amongst any of the other 5 offensive players? There's definately a team in there. Im not worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringerBell Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I'm out of here. Not because we got thrashed by Leeds but because people keep saying pivot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexydadbod Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Based on what I’ve seen and the players we have in the squad, I’d like to see this sort of team Carson Bogle Tomori Davies Malone Evans Huddlestone Jozefzoon Mount Bennett Marriott Gives us extra technical ability in midfield with Evans and Huddlestone and allows Mount to play advanced. Bogle gives us a better balance on the right offensively than Wisdom. Bennett and Jozefzoon may not be as talented as Lawrence and Wilson but I bet they’d be a heck of a lot more effective. Waghorn looks like a dud(although this may be harsh as he hasn’t been here long) so I’d give Marriott a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 There's not sufficient quality in the side. Mid table at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronRam 140.6 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 How many teams will take Leeds on now? There are gonna be some busses for them to shift from here on in. Cant see many managers wanting to go toe to toe with them on the evidence of the last couple of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon 2:5 would have been a fairer reflection. Having said that, I'm not slashing my wrists. It's going to take time to get the balance and performances right, there are more new players to come in and we came across an outstanding Leeds team. I was watching the game where Derby bossed the second half... Only to concede to the first leeds attack of the second half and after that we were chasing the game. Could easily have gone the other way oif mount and co had finished as clinically as the leeds forwards . There re is no way that 4-1 or 5-2 would have been a fair reflection, but certainly a lesson for lampard.. The midfield balance wasn't right at the start . Without huddle stone we have to have a plan b , and we did t seem to have one today or against reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Weimann ran a lot but didn't actually do anything at either end of the pitch. Lawrence was no where near our worst player on the pitch today. There were easily 4 or 5 that performed worse than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marriot Ram99 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I agree we cant play 433 with the players we have, we need to change to a more defensively organized formation like the team you've suggested. 2 minutes ago, McLovin said: Based on what I’ve seen and the players we have in the squad, I’d like to see this sort of team Carson Bogle Tomori Davies Malone Evans Huddlestone Jozefzoon Mount Bennett Marriott Gives us extra technical ability in midfield with Evans and Huddlestone and allows Mount to play advanced.

Seth's left foot Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Well that was crap! As well as the Dirties played that just exposed how disjointed we were. Our midfield was anonymous and what concerns me is Frank didn’t react with any tactical changes. Lawrence is bobbins but he’s scored two in two so that’s him playing for the foreseeable. Make changes for Tuesday and that will give Frank options for Millwall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edtheram Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Some humble pie for some on here. I said last week and before the Reading game that Ledley and Mr "Bring the youth through" Lowe were ticking time bombs. We've conceded 5 goals in 2 games Lowe has been involved in 4 of them. Ledley will be dropped - Lowe will bench warm as Malone will come in thank god - Keogh will make way for Tamori who had a good game. Bryson was too small and out muscled every time he went to challenge. I'm hopeful that Frank will learn from this and pick players by how good they are not pre season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertRam Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 As per Rampage, if you saw the Leeds/Stoke game that probably wasn't a shock, they were great then, and hate to say - today as well. At least it's glaringly obvious what we need to improve on. Leeds are going to hammer 95% of the opposition this season, if they can sustain the intensity/effort.

Didn't win a single header ,did nothing else right either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
