If you manage to decode this, it could be the tactical breakthrough we need to push us for those European places.

I don't think we've got those bizarre results in us. Leave it to Saints.

Worst manager I've seen for us relative to the level played. No tactics, no patterns and a really shit system. Shit man management too by the looks of it.

Wow absolutely pathetic pen attempts by Walsall.

Haha Wardy fking legend

People slagging Thomas off are forgetting that this is his level, that's how he plays every game.

It’s not like Walsall have been parking the bus. They’ve actually been going for it and, to be honest, have looked more a threat.

So sloppy

Thanks ref, could have been bad that

Coady very sloppy

What's going on with Vesty? Could it be personal reasons?

Pathetic from us. Really poor attempt by them, should have scored there. Coady is way past it, no way I'd want him playing for us in the prem.

This might actually be the first successful attempt on FT at defining Cooper's system that makes any sense. The real question is, does he have any tactics beyond that?

Danny Ward > Mads

Camera work seems a mess

If they've done their homework they should know that it's quantity and not quality that prevails here.

41 pages in and yet no one aside from @StriderHiryu has tried to define his system.

Thank you for another quality analysis. @StriderHiryu "It's possible that in the above picture, the players are in the positions that Cooper wants them to be. But I think that strucuturally this has many issues that would leave us in big trouble on a turnover, and in this case, even though we progress the ball, lead to a suboptimal attacking situation." You don’t think you might be over-analysing this? It seems like you're trying to impose causality on the mindless mess that is Cooper-ball. I’ve yet to see any clear structure or consistency, just a mess of (largely poor) reactive decisions without any real cohesion.

Under Cooper it's every man for himself .

It's complete madness

I still haven’t seen any clarity in our play. There’s no game pattern, no sign of an identity at all, and this is the Premier League, mind you. At least guys like Martin Russell and Dyche have a clear plan, even if the execution or players aren’t always up to it. But with Cooper, what even is Cooperball??

Mads?

He's a better than Coady imo. Still, not to feature him in the squad? Makes you wonder what is going on. Then again I question most of his subs, particularly the Fatawu on for Mav at the 90' min. Such an inept manager.

Mav off, Fatawu on when the games about done. Can't make this manager up.
