Collymore Posted 20 December 2014 Share Posted 20 December 2014 I feel we look like 3 units turning up on the day and being "rolled out" Nigel Pearson - Head of defending I only ever hear him barking instructions at the defence, and why not as he is obviously an expert in this area. IMO our defence only looks bad as we aren't scoring goals. 1 decent centre back and a full back and we'll be as solid as a rock. Nigel knows this and it's a bit frustrating that the media focus on them. Esteban Cambiasso - Head of midfield He barks at his compatriots if they do something too quick, perhaps he's slowing the whole team to suit his style of play? Nevertheless, he knows his shit and NP trusts him to run a tight unit. The other midfielders would never question him even though they're normally use to trusting their instincts. Not only this, he gallops forward at times as he's a rule to himself, after all, he's Esteban Cambiasso. Kevin Phillips - Head of attacking "No, forget about link up play. You need to learn how to finish" Kevin Phillips said to his 3 strikers. "Mahrez, what you doing here? do you not know you're working with Esteban today?" "Now then, lets try the 10 yard finish with no defenders again" This fragmentation also runs in our management. A director of footballer (who was the scapegoat) Nigel and then the owners. I feel we're not a true team at the moment. We look good at times in midfield. That's about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That `ll be half the defence then :xmasbiggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixdas Posted 21 December 2014 Share Posted 21 December 2014 Personally I feel that Cambiasso has slowed down our game. Since he has joined, we have been awful! Our initial 5 games were positive and last season we were very very good at using our width and speed. We also used to be very lively in the initial 30 mins which gave us more of an edge. Recently it feels like we are trying to play a style which we are not used to or some of the players don't even like. Don't get me wrong we are lacking quality but if these players could win the championship by a mile and also have a positive start to the season then they are capable of staying up. Lack of confidence and lack of harmony in our play probably the biggest issue. It could be the reason why Nigel Pearson is always quite positive after the games because he wants to try and bring the confidence back to the team. Hopefully we can prove everyone wrong and stay up but I guess we will have to wait and see! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamba's Babes Posted 21 December 2014 Share Posted 21 December 2014 I agree. We don't play as a team, we neither defend or attack an a unit. Everything seems very off the cuff and obviously not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
