The blind pass

[fugitivemackem]

What is it with the blind pass into midfield. I don’t feel like I see many sides attempt it as much as us and fail, this creates a turn over and we are instantly on the back foot. Is this being coached or do we feel we are good enough to play these types of blind passes which to me are high risk low reward.

I just wish we’d cut this horrific tactic out of playing out from the back like we are Barcelona. We f***ing aren’t them.

 

[Roadhouse]

It's more the blind pass to the full back that annoys me. Forest knew we were going to do it every time.

It’s like we are forcing the play to try and get an advantage but we rarely do. Hit it over the top and tell Brobbey to run the channels. It worked a treat v Arsenal at home

Sadiki set the tone in the first minute or so when he didn’t even look up before attempting to pass it to Alderete and gave it away in a bad area.

Awful.

 

[Gonk]

It’s bizarre because Xhaka is never even in a good position. If he actually receives the ball there he’s getting immediately swarmed by 3 players at least.

Absolutely stupid tactic and the coaches need to fuck right off with it now.

Both tbh mate. I don’t see many other teams forfeit possession as easy as us in our final 3rd

Aye we were naive as fuck tonight

They could see us coming a mile off

Needs to be binned

All about "breaking the press", it's bollocks imo. We'd be better off doing what we did in the second half, get it up there and win the second balls.

It can be can someone add Steve’s bus pass to thread title ? Mods

I get the attempt to play through the high press but I don’t think we have the quality there to do it other than maybe Xhaka who dare I say it has also been guilty of it,

They massively did a job on us. Played us perfectly.

Been saying a while, a team playing long ball 4-4-2 with a load of absolute monsters will win the league in the next few years

It’s the latest trend and is f***ing awful, always end up getting battered up field anyway

I think it's fairly obvious they did their homework on how we play out from the back and their pressing and energy levels were incredible tonight.

What's frustrating is to not react after the first once or twice when it doesn't come off.

The second goal was a prime example. No pass is on so just play it up to Brobbey. Instead we try to fuck about and concede.

I haven't watched it back but I'm sure i will at some point. From memory the pass to Xhaka was on, but like so many times recently Roefs slowed it down too much, took an extra touch on to his weaker foot and tried to to play a pass practically through Woods.

Wasn't just him, half the team wanted extra touches all over instead of moving the ball quickly. They hit us with direct, fast, counter attacking football and ripped us to shreds.

It was sort of on but it wasn't at the same time. They had everything covered if Xhaka did get it so the pass was pointless.

It’s so irritating watching them do the same bollocks again and again as if magically somethings going to change
