Barnsley 1-1 LCFC, FT thread

[damolcfc]

We play like we are 1 pass away from winning the title...

We are 3-0 up.... just waiting for the ref to blow his whistle 

Go and put our feet up..... its that laid back

I mean as a performance I've seen worse but really you need to put 10 men tot the sword, we did not, and we got pressed into making a mistake and conceding a goal, by ten men. 

 

I've said this before but we seem to have our generic game plan and don't put any thought into whether a team is going to play on the counter or press we just seem to think we will be good enough at our game for it not to matter and it's becoming increasingly evident that is not the case. 

 

Fair play to them couldn't believe it when they carried on with a pressing setup when they went down to ten, thought that was going to be an immediate change in setup to low block and counter attack as we looked for a second.

This is a really good point. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Enzo ball at the time, purely not my idea of entertainment for much of the time. Obviously take those day back in a heartbeat now!

 

But it was always said that the idea of having possession meant that it tired the opposition chasing shadows until we could wear them down and punish them. As an aside, another theory behind having high possession is that the opponent can’t score when you have the ball.

 

Why or why then, do we have a manager whose idea of possession football means we are the ones exhausted due to the way of playing and give up so many chances that even if we have 80% of ball, we still ship a couple of a goals a match! Make it make sense!

that's true if you're prodding and probing, moving it around reasonably quickly in the final third or at least their half - at that point they need to be set perfectly and move their set positions rapidly. That is exhausting. Watching two centre backs 10 yards inside their own half pass it side to side doesn't require you to constantly shift between set positions, it doesn't draw you into challenges and open space...

Just watched the goal we conceded yesterday and it is so basic … give them the ball and 3 seconds later it’s in our net … 2 players not knowing what each other is doing but before that Faes making the game come to a standstill by just standing on the ball… we were playing against 10 men we should have been all over them not stopping the game completely….absolutely awful

Exactly. But to those like Aiyawatt and Rudkin who don’t really understand football, presumably what Maresca’s team did with the ball and what Martin’s team do look the same?

On order for the training ground shooting practice.

Not big enough, they still couldn't hit it.
