target man who doesn't win headers lolMan U away - twice when our passing and movement was a joy to watch. I think it is down to having big Conor as a target man that we've went away from the passing philosophy.

We looked the same for the best part of last season. Have people forgotten Gus stood on the touchline looking like little boy lost?
when we played our best football last season ki wasnt in the teamlast season we had Ki
kaboul was shite last wkwatching Oshea and Kaboul last week was chalk and cheese
Lack or real quality and outlets such as pave. No options whatsoever in possession.
Could do with a player who can hold the ball and create in midfield...that fella ki from Swansea looks good...
Imo, out of those games, there's only West Brom where we were reasonably comfortable all game. At City we defended our 18 yard box for long periods as we also did at Utd, although we did have a good spell in the second half. Cardiff, was a very nervous performance until we scored our second and Swansea was like men against boys in regards of Bony against our defence. Great fighting spirit in all of them and what was required at the time but not what I'd call flowing football and it would be tiresome to watch a season of it.we were not defending for most parts against city west brom united and cardiff
Big fan of Poyet and I loved the style of play he tried having us play last season, knocking the ball about and passing it to create chances.
But what the fuck has happened this season? As far as I can see, this 'passing philosophy'involves our defenders knocking it around our own half laxadaisy before we launch an angle pass at Wickham, and watch the ball come back.
It seems a bit of a mish-mash at the minute, very throw it all together and hope something sticks; similar to how we were at times under Bruce, except with much poorer players.
Again, not screaming Poyet Out or slating him, but it is a concern for me.
Nail on the head.
You can talk players, tactics, formations all you like and for weeks on end, but imo, when you have arguably the most static team / group of players in the league then you won't have any 'passing' game.
All of our players can pass a ball, if you have no one to actually pass to then wtf can you do.
People used to get excited over Spain and this possession / passing football but tbf they rarely passed it over 10 yards, they just never stood still at all and would be constantly moving / making angles etc..
Give Jozy a break, man.We'll be very streaky again this season. There'll be a period where it clicks and we go on a min run and look the part. There'll be times when we cannit pass watter. That's the lot of a team in our position. Hopefully we continue to keep the points total ticking over in the 'fallow' periods as we are at the moment.
Ki??? No no no you've got that all wrong. I was reliably informed he was a pea hearted, gutless luxury who played no part in our survival as only the points accrued at end of season counted towards our survival total. All those points we earned in January when Ki was excellent didn't count and he could f@ck back to Swansea and take @iloveki with him!Could do with a player who can hold the ball and create in midfield...that fella ki from Swansea looks good...
Well according to @Lewberry pie he wanted to come in the end but it was too late and we declined!Good idea. Liverpool have a player, too, who can play wide, hold the ball and create. Baroni, or something think he's called....
Just the time and space he made for himself was enough for me. A genuine outlet to release the pressure and start the passing game.
Given the choice of Ki or Poyet i'd take Ki.
Given the choice of Ki or Congerton i'd take Ki.
Given the choice of Ki or Byrne i'd take Ki.
We looked the same for the best part of last season.
You want Ki to be our manager, Director of Football and our Managing Director (or whatever Byrne is)?
Controversial.
Really? His passing is nee better than Larssons
I disagree, I think our best and only period of good football last season was the turn of the year when Ki was instrumental in our passing game. As for the run in, it was hardly good football. It was last ditch in your face defending for the most part which was required at the time but playing like that over a season would see us struggle badly imo.
