Braga A Match thread

[goody2028]

I’ll tell you something kasper is the only thing that made me smile in that first half. At least twice he screamed come on ****ing referee. Love it.

WTF is Albrighton doing today. He just switches off sometimes. He is an experienced player now, you can’t have that.

He's getting no support against a tricky pacy winger. Only really one outcome to be honest. 

 

Might be wiser to get Justin at RWB and bring on Fofana in Albrighton's place. 

[Matt]

Not great. Wheres the urgency gone in the last 2 games?

[Guest Fktf]

Neither Hamza or praet look suited to those holding pivot roles 

[ealingfox]

Disappointing. These aren't all that but could be out of sight. We're getting chances though.

[UHDrive]

4-1-4-1 with Mendy, Tielemans, Maddison and Vardy. We must start playing in that formation again otherwise we'll forget what it is.

[Guest Kopfkino]

We’ve been bobbins, think it shows why Tielemans plays every minute as we’ve got nothing in midfield without him, desperately need a rotation option for him. No control of the game, passing is hit and hope, not tracking runners, second to almost everything. Not a good half

[Bozman]

Just goes to show , if we can't play are best 11 we pretty ordinary..

[l444ry]

A 3-4-3 or 3-5-2  with Castagne/Ricardo/Justin as wing backs is different to Albrighton and Thomas. No point playing this system with those two. Teams just push two/three players on centrally to occupy our back three then press our wing backs who are simply not good enough at this level to regain the ball or deal with the situation. 

[Izzy]

Kasper has his critics but I’d have him in the team for his communication skills alone.

Wish we had some outfield players who were that vocal.

[jmono84]

This 3 at the back is stifling our forward play, we’re giving the ball away every time we go forward.

Use this system when we need it Rodgers not when they are playing one up front.

CM’s can’t get into the game, wing backs are hardly noticeable and wingers/ Nacho are losing their battles but have been starved.

[AjcW]

Pleased to see Kasper is up to his old tricks of making plenty of mistakes himself and then berating everyone else. 🤔

Going to need some changes at HT if we want to get anything out of this. 

 

BR take note. 

You're right Suzie. I'll see if I can get a message to him, otherwise he'll leave it until the 60th minute.

Hamza really isn’t good enough in a 2 or as a holding midfielder in a 3 

[filbertway]

Carrying 3 dead weights was always gonna cause issues. We must be the only team that plays a 5 4 1 and manages to still look horrific at the back 

[Steve Earle]

Too many underperforming: Albrighton, Fuchs, Thomas, Choudhury, Barnes, Under, Iheanacho. And I’m being kind to Schmeichel, Justin, Evans & Praet!

 

Need to beef up the midfield and play JJ in one of the WB/FB roles.

Has kept us in the game twice though

[sishades]

Evans poor, passing poor, nothing in midfield, no aggression, second to the high ball and still shit at crosses. Braga should have at least 4.

Can't wait for the first choice defence to be back, we've been all over the place. Schmeichel has kept us in it (and enjoyable amount of swearing too).

 

Not too much going forward yet we probably should have two, if not three, goals.

Compare this back 5 with Castagne, Ricardo, Soyuncu, Fofana and Ndidi. It's ridiculous.

Thomas and Kelechi are doing fine.

Uncomfortable viewing, lets be honest, they could be out of sight. Interesting to see if he changes it at half time, but you know he won't.

Your right, I do only watch English football. Its the only league that I can justify spending time of my life watching. 

So in other words...... you have absolutely no idea how good or bad any other league is because you don't watch it? 

 

I'm not really sure what you are basing your opinion on? 

[Ric Flair]

Make 3 subs at half time as we are still in this and Braga don't like being pressed. Need to go 4-1-4-1

 

Get Choudhury, Albrighton and Thomas off for Mendy, Tielemans and Fofana.
