Probably already been discussed on here but thought I'd start a thread to put it all in one place..
The big disappointment for me yesterday was how we lined up and has been concern for a bit now to be honest why at home when we need to really take the game to a team below us have we got THREE holding midfielders on the pitch just encourages us to drop deep! Also Lemina week by week is dropping deeper and deeper was playing behind the centre backs at times yesterday!
The first goal happens because our midfield is along side our centre backs when the cross comes in.
No coincidence when we actually had attacking players on the pitch second half we actually looked a threat! While Jimenez hasn't been great last couple of weeks again I can't help but think Cunha playing around him or just behind him will help him so much more (like we saw at Fulham).
For all the talk about us not scoring goals we really don't help ourselves by starting with the least attacking players from the start as possible and have half of them on the bench and bring them on when we are chasing a game because yeah you got it lack of attacking play from the start of the game....
4-2-3-1 from now on please Lopetegui not this 4-5-1 it clearly isn't working...
