zerosum 234 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I trust rafa to know more than us about his team and tactics, but if it’s glaringly obvious that it not working .. change it earlier than 70 minutes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And explain your working. I'd have probably went with Hayden instead of Diame but Diame, alongside Perez, suggests to me that we're using Perez to draw fouls (which he did very well against West Brom) and then hoping we can use a good set piece and get goals that way. Diame's height is also, in theory, useful for those, both attacking and defending. We're going to be sitting deep, Perez will practically be another midfielder when we're defending, I would imagine. Full backs will tuck in and it'll be on Ritchie and Murphy to track the full backs. It'll be compact, cautious and we won't have much of the ball but we were expansive against Man United and Watford and we got our bollocks ripped off. These players are not good enough to take the game to better sides and apparently people still don't understand that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perez and Gayle hasn't been working Gayle isn't the same player he was last season Mitro would be a better option IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Defence never looked comfortable after going 1 up.

If that was the other way round the ref would have gave a free kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
