Interesting hearing people’s thoughts on this now we’re 7 games in, cup and league.
Something I’ve been thinking is, perhaps Critch just needs to keep it simple. ie Robson you just sit here with Williams or Virtue or who ever you don’t have to go chasing all over the place to get the ball, just protect the centre backs.
Like wise with Anderson, just operate between the centre circle and the 18 yard box feed balls into the front three, shoot when you can.
It looks slightly Like they’re receiving a thousand instructions per training sessions and can’t stick to all of them during a game.
Something I’ve often heard about top mangers or players dropping down to manage in the lower leagues is, they come with fantastic methods and ideas but it all falls down and fails because the players arnt up to that level of understanding and execution.
Not that I’m saying it’s failing, it’s too early for that. But sometimes it’s the simple things in life.
